Post Malone has brought his August 26th mixtape to streaming platforms for the first time, marking the project's 10th anniversary. The hip-hop mixtape is also getting its first-ever vinyl release, and joins the release calendar among the week's notable reissues.
The 10-track project arrived after a run of breakout singles, including fan favorite "White Iverson," and let Post Malone stretch into a more genre-blurring sound. Its title referred to the originally proposed release date of his debut album, Stoney, which was delayed and ultimately arrived on that date later in the year.
August 26th features guest spots from Larry June, 2 Chainz, FKi 1st, Jeremih, Lil Yachty, and Jaden Smith and Teo, spread across tracks including "Never Understand," "Money Made Me Do It" and "Monta."
The mixtape's arrival on streaming gives listeners a first legal way to hear the project in full a decade after it first circulated, filling in an early chapter of Post Malone's catalog that had remained absent from major platforms.
