Posted by With Monday (November 8) serving as the 10-year anniversary since the release of Mac Miller’s Blue Slide Park debut album, his former record label, Rostrum Records, commemorated the project with the release of a “Frick Park Market” visualizer.
The animated The Studios-directed clip finds Mac going to his local Pittsburgh deli, making his go-to sandwich and sweeping the floor. His character even dons the wig he rocks in the original “Frick Park Market” video. Following the deli trip, Mac Miller and his crew take a stroll to Blue Slide Park.
“Frick Park Market” served as the lead single for Blue Slide Park, which went on to debut atop the Billboard 200 with 144,000 album-equivalent units sold in its November 2011 first week. The album became the first independently-distributed debut album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since Tha Dogg Pound’s 1995 Death Row debut, Dogg Food.
