PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A song from the late Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller was leaked on the internet Monday. Hypebeast reports that the song titled “Benji the Dog” surfaced, however, the. Mac Miller 'Benji The Dog': Yeah They told me, 'Don't make a promise you can't keep' All the drugs in your system, you can't sl.
Just weeks after the insanely beautiful track “Benji the Dog” made its way onto the internet, yet another previously unreleased Mac Miller song, “Real”, has found its way onto the web.
Miller, born Malcolm James McCormick, tragically passed away on Friday, September 7, 2018, due to a fatal drug overdose. However, known as a prolific music maker, the ever-talented Pittsburgh rapper presumably passed away with hundreds — if not thousands — of unreleased tracks to his name.
As for how these tracks are making their way online, no one really knows. Maybe the producers and musicians he collaborated with want Mac Miller’s unreleased work to be posthumously appreciated. Maybe his friends just miss him and want to hear him rap again. Who knows, maybe it’s just the work hackers.
But what we do know is that every time one of these previously unreleased songs have made their way onto the internet, they’ve been bangers, and “Real” is no exception.
Produced by Metro Boomin, “Real” — similar to many other Mac Miller tracks — contains numerous references to the rapper’s own drug use and mortality.
“The tracklist filled up with so many mistakes, can’t believe I’m alive. Will you be a saint or a sinner? Whatever you want, you decide,” Miller raps.
“All day I been faded, all day I been faded, but fuck it, I drive
Now I’m in a Mercedes, a pill made me crazy, today I could die,” he continues.
Now I’m in a Mercedes, a pill made me crazy, today I could die,” he continues.
While the embeddable version of “Real” has been swiftly removed off of SoundCloud, you can still stream and download the song by following this link.
Given the supposedly massive catalog of music that Miller was sitting on at the time of his tragic passing, “Benji the Dog” and “Real” are likely to be the first of many leaks that we see in the coming years.

Higgins (December 12, 1957 – November 11, 1975) was one of the best-known dog actors of the 1960s and 1970s. Most people remember him as the original Benji or as the uncredited dog from Petticoat Junction, two of the most popular roles he played during a 14-year career in show business.
Early life[edit]
In 1960, animal trainer Frank Inn found the dog at the Burbank Animal Shelter as a puppy.[2][3] A fluffy black-and-tan mixed breed dog, he was marked like a Border Terrier, and Inn believed him to be a mix of Miniature Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, and Schnauzer.[4][5]
Career[edit]
Higgins' career was facilitated by Frank Inn, who also trained Arnold Ziffel (the pig) and all of the other animals used on The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and The Waltons TV series. His on-set assistant trainers included Gerry Warshauer and Karl Miller.[6]
As an actor, Higgins first came to national attention as the uncredited dog who played the character of 'Dog' on the television sitcom Petticoat Junction for six of the show's seven seasons, from 1964 to 1970, appearing in 149 episodes.[7] He guest-appeared on the television sitcom Green Acres with Eva Gabor in 1965 and also made a guest appearance on the television sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies. Due to his work in Petticoat Junction, Higgins received a PATSY Award in 1966 in the television category[8], and he was cover-featured on an issue of TV Guide magazine[citation needed].
Higgins was able to convey a broad range of emotions through his facial expressions. Inn, who trained thousands of animals of many species during his lifetime, told reporters that Higgins was the smartest dog he had ever worked with and noted that during his prime years in television, he learned one new trick or routine per week and retained these routines from year to year, making it possible for him to take on increasingly varied and complex roles. Higgins's tricks included yawning and sneezing on cue.[9][10]
In 1971, Higgins starred in the film Mooch Goes to Hollywood with Zsa Zsa Gabor and Vincent Price. He came out of retirement at an estimated age of 16[11] to star in the 1974 feature film Benji, which became his greatest commercial success.[12]
Personal life[edit]
Friends[edit]
Higgins had a close rapport with the actor Edgar Buchanan, who played Uncle Joe Carson on Petticoat Junction. In the official cast pictures taken each year during the run of Petticoat Junction, Buchanan is shown holding or petting Higgins.[13][14][15] Buchanan guest-starred on 17 episodes of the sitcom Green Acres, and Higgins guest-starred in two of those appearances. Buchanan and Higgins crossed paths for the last time in Benji, which was coincidentally also the last film in which both actors starred. The two actors had an obvious fondness for one another, which is especially clear in Benji, because the movie's naturalistic pacing allowed them to interact as friends rather than requiring that Higgins perform a specific trick to which Buchanan would react.
Frank Inn and Higgins were very close in real life as well as on the job. Inn wrote a poem about the dog called My Little Brown Dog.[16]
Family[edit]
Higgins' progeny carried on his work in a continuing series of movies and television series featuring the Benji character, beginning with For the Love of Benji in 1977, in which Higgins' daughter Benjean inherited the role of Benji after Higgins' death.[17]
Benjean, who was also trained by Frank Inn, starred in more Benji movies than Higgins did because she was younger when she first took on the role. Benjean can be differentiated from Higgins by the fact that she was a female with no visible genitalia, and she had a large patch of white hairs on her muzzle around her nose, whereas Higgins was mostly black around his nose. In addition, Higgins’ bark was a deep, froggy sound, while Benjean had a higher-pitched, more traditional-sounding yelp. This is readily apparent when comparing Benji and For the Love of Benji.
Confusion between the two dogs was increased when VHS and DVD videos of the original Benji movie were released with pictures of Benjean on the cover.
Also, the dog 'Tramp' from the TV series My Three Sons was one of Higgins' puppies; his real-life name was 'Mac'.
Death[edit]
Benji The Dog Death
Higgins died at age 17, just four weeks short of his 18th birthday.[18] Inn had the dog's body cremated and saved the ashes in an urn on his mantelpiece. He then wrote a Christian poem in memory of Higgins called My Gift to Jesus.[19][20] Inn died in 2002 and requested that Higgins' ashes be buried in his coffin with him.[3] This request was not fulfilled due to legal reasons,[21][22] and Higgins' ashes remain with Inn's daughters. Inn is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills).[23]
