Lil Sac

**Lil Sac** is a musical comedy project by American musician Kellan Miller and Branden Miller started in 2018. The project started initially as a joke until the two siblings began recording comedic songs the two thought were funny whenever they were able to see each other. This culminated in the release of the 2019 debut for the project, *Sac-tastic Voyage* and the follow up released a couple months later, *Merry Dissmas*. In April 2022, YouTuber and music critic Brad Taste in Music reacted positively to the music video for the song "FUPA" from the fourth Lil Sac album, *SEEZUS*, on his livestream. This attracted the attention of comedy record label Flex Entertainment who then signed Lil Sac as an artist on the label and distributed the 2022 album, *Eternal Gallimaufry of the Sacful Mind*.

## History

##### Early SoundCloud uploads (2018)

Kellan and Branden Miller were visiting each other in May 2018 while the pair were both in Baltimore at their fathers home and had the idea to begin making comedic songs. Branden began making beats and Kellan performed vocals on the tracks. They made "Coffee Song, Pt. 2" and "How To Please Your Man" which featured their fathers roommate (who went by the name Elefuxnt 🥜's) and released both songs on SoundCloud over the next few days.

The project then went ignored for a few months until being revived in September of that year with the one-off song "LSD (lets slay dragons)" before the project went on hiatus for nearly a year. Around this time, Kellan made a playlist on YouTube where he retroactively compiled some silly songs he made as a young child into an EP called *Nerders EP*.

##### Sac-tastic Voyage and Merry Dissmas (2019)

In June of 2019, an official Instagram page for Lil Sac was created as well as an announcement of an album. Kellan and Branden spent the next two months working on songs that would eventually become the album *Sac-tastic Voyage*. To promote the album, Kellan released the songs "Alone Drinking Coffee" and "On The Scene" on August 2nd. The full album released two days later as a free download on the Lil Sac Bandcamp page. Later in September, a music video for the song "Toilet Talk" was released onto the Lil Sac channel, with videos for "West Virginia is for Lovers," and "On The Scene" following in late October and early November respectively.

On November 12th, the track "Watch Me" released on SoundCloud as well as the announcement that another Lil Sac album titled *Merry Dissmas* to be released in a month. A music video for the song released two weeks later. On November 29th, another new song, "Jesus Died To Save Sac," was uploaded to SoundCloud with a video coming out the same day. A week before the albums release date, "Face Tat" was uploaded to SoundCloud and got a video. On December 9th, a video for the songs "Robbery" and "Death of Purpp" was released but the songs were not released on SoundCloud or Bandcamp. *Merry Dissmas* released on December 13th and was followed by videos for the songs "Livin' In Heck," "Sorry Ma... Merry Christmas," and "Lil Soft?" released on the Lil Sac YouTube channel until the end of December. On Christmas Day, a cut song from the album titled "12 Days of Dissmas" was uploaded to SoundCloud and had a video. Additionally, Kellan made a video breaking down the song from the album and uploaded it to the Lil Sac YouTube page. As 2019 winded down, Miller announced on the Lil Sac Instagram page that three projects, *lil sac.*, *The Purple Tape*, and *SEEZUS* would release in 2020.

##### Expansion of Lil Sac and Additional Albums (2020-2021)

In mid January 2020, the siblings announced that an album by XXXBOIPURPP, an alter ego of Branden Miller, would be releasing an album on January 31st titled *The Lost Tapes*. This marked the last time the character was used in any Lil Sac related media. At the same time, Lil Sac performed his first live set to an audience of three people in a venue named America's Basement. At the performance, Miller debuted the song "rule 34" which was previously unreleased. On Valentine's Day, the third Lil Sac album, eponymously titled *lil sac.*, was announced for a March 27th release date, alongside a music video for the single "ngl." Two more singles were released to promote the album, "xxxboipurpp type beat" and "sandshark," which both also received music videos. Alongside the singles, Miller surprise dropped an EP he made in the span of 30 minutes titled *Music To Be Quarantined By* on March 23rd, which was inspired by the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States. Miller then released the eponymous third album four days later on schedule.

The album was release to middling reactions overall in comparison to *Merry Dissmas*. Despite that, the album was supported with another music video for the song "body bag" shortly after release. On May 29th, Miller announced *The Purple Tape,* a mixtape that compiles remixes and unreleased tracks. The mixtape was promoted with a music video for the "Toilet Talk" remix, which was titled "Toilet Serenade" and released in full on June 15th. After going quiet for a month and a half, Miller announced in a teaser video that new Lil Sac music would release on September 2nd. On September 2nd, Miller released the music video for the single "Faded" and announced the fourth Lil Sac album, *SEEZUS.* Later on both October 29th and 30th, Miller teased new music and videos to release on the United States 2020 Election Day. This culminated in the release of the EP *Vote For Sac!* A music video directed by editor BMB\_PLNTD for the title track released the same day and the project was overall met with praise from fans of the project. Later on November 11th, Miller revealed the album and track list for *SEEZUS* and released the second music video to promote the album "FUPA," which has gone on to be one of the most successful songs by Lil Sac. The album was also proceeded by the singles and music videos for the tracks "It's All Good" and "PYA," the latter is an animated music video. *SEEZUS* released on December 11th and is currently Lil Sac's most successful independent album.

During 2021, Lil Sac as a project stayed quiet for the first half of year until mid May where Miller announced that the fifth Lil Sac album was about to begin recording. On June 15th, it was announced that a second mixtape which would compile the unreleased songs from the *SEEZUS* sessions titled *The Xanadu Tape* would be released three days later on the 18th. The mixtape released with an accompanying video for the song "Kids on Leashes." Between August and October, Kellan would release several teasers and snippets for the upcoming album before announcing on October 2nd that the album would be titled *Sacnum Opus* and would be released on November 5th. On the day of the albums released, Miller announced that album was delayed until the 13th due to an "upload error." A music video for the track "The Cat Song" released three days prior to the album. The album was later promoted by the post-release single and music video, "What Animal Am I?"

On April 27th, Kellan's sibling and co-creator of Lil Sac, Branden, sent popular music critic Brad Taste In Music the video for the song "FUPA" from *SEEZUS*.
