## Abstract

Our project reflects a partial analysis of the song lyrics from late musical artist Mac Miller's discography. Throughout his career, Mac Miller released six studio albums, two extended plays, two live albums, and thirteen mixtapes. For the sake of analysis, however, we selected projects that were released in even-numbered years from 2010 to 2020. Using [Josiah Parry's `genius` package](https://github.com/JosiahParry/genius) and the resources provided on Github, we pulled lyrical data for six specific projects: Circles (2020), Swimming (2018), The Divine Feminine (2016), Faces (2014), Macadelic (2012), and K.I.D.S. (2010).
