Post Malone's Debut Mixtape Gets First Streaming and Vinyl Release for 10th Anniversary

Post Malone has made his 2016 mixtape 'August 26th' available on streaming platforms and vinyl for the first time, remastered for its tenth anniversary. The project, originally released on Republic Records, includes collaborations with artists like 2 Chainz, Lil Yachty, and Jaden Smith. The mixtape's title referenced the planned release date of his debut album 'Stoney,' which was later delayed to December 2016.

The mixtape's re-release arrives as a milestone for collectors and longtime listeners, offering the first official vinyl pressing of a project that had previously circulated only through digital channels. Its ten tracks capture a transitional period in Malone's career, arriving shortly after "White Iverson" established his commercial foothold and ahead of the polished sound that defined Stoney. The production credits on that debut album—including Metro Boomin, Mustard, and Pharrell—helped signal the stylistic range he would continue exploring.

The announcement also lands amid personal developments for the artist. Malone recently proposed to Christy Lee in Utah, with friends traveling to join the celebration. Their relationship has drawn public attention since early 2025, with sightings in Rome, Paris, and New York marking an on-and-off pattern that continued into this year.
