In early 2010, Miller signed a record deal with Pittsburgh-based indie record label Rostrum Records. Later, he began recording his first studio album, "Blue Slide Park", and released it on November 8, 2011. The album debuted at number one on the U.S. "Billboard" 200, making it the first independently distributed debut album to top the chart since rap duo Tha Dogg Pound's album, "Dogg Food", in 1995.
