Blue Slide Park is Mac Miller's 2011 debut studio album, here on CD: a sunny, hometown-proud record from a Pittsburgh kid who had already built a fanbase one mixtape at a time.

Named after a playground in the city's Frick Park, the album arrived on independent label Rostrum Records and carried the easy confidence of his early tapes into a full-length release. It is a long way from the introspective records he would make later, and that contrast is part of what makes it worth revisiting: you hear the starting point of one of rap's most fascinating growth arcs.

Party On Fifth Ave. bounces on a horn-heavy sample and a carefree, block-party energy. Frick Park Market rides a laid-back groove while Mac trades quick, playful bars about his neighbourhood. Smile Back has more swagger and a harder beat, and Of the Soul leans warmer and more reflective, a small preview of the musician he was becoming. Much of the production comes from Pittsburgh's ID Labs, which gives the whole thing a cohesive, homegrown feel.

The lyrics are mostly about friends, summers and the giddy feeling of making it, delivered with an infectious grin.

For fans who found Swimming and Circles first, this CD fills in the beginning of the story with real warmth.
