with both wiz khalifa's and mac miller's careers on the rise, rostrum records was able to reach new heights in 2011. wiz khalifa's single "black and yellow" climbed the charts for 18 months before reaching #1 on the billboard hot 100 on in february 2011, becoming his first #1 single. some of the song's success can be attributed to the pittsburgh steelers making it to the super bowl. “black and yellow” became the team’s anthem since the song is an ode to the city of pittsburgh’s black and yellow colors. mac miller released the mixtape "best day ever" on march 11, 2011. since the release, it has been downloaded over 1,137,000 times and streamed over 1,155,000 times from the official host of the mixtape, datpiff.com. the first single off "best day ever", "donald trump" charted on the us billboard hot 100 debuting at number 80. while online free as a part of best day ever, "donald trump" was still purchased over a million times. in march 2013, "donald trump" was awarded a platinum certification by the riaa, mac miller's first platinum record. on march 29, 2011, rostrum released "rolling papers", wiz khalifa's major label debut, through a partnership with atlantic records. the album capitalized on the success of "black and yellow" with subsequent platinum singles "roll up", "no sleep", and "when i'm gone". rolling papers was awarded a platinum certification in june 2011. rostrum released mac miller's debut studio album blue slide park on november 8, 2011, only eight months after the release of "best day ever". rostrum records sold 145,000 copies of blue slide park in its first week, becoming the first independently-distributed debut album by an artist to hit no. 1 since 1995.

the featured song "the best day ever" was composed by tom kenny, spongebob's voice actor, and andy paley. the song was originally a part of "the spongebob squarepants movie" soundtrack that was released on november 9, 2004. originally, kenny and paley were writing the songs "the best day ever" and "under my rock" on what would become "the best day ever" album. however, at the same time, the team of the 2004 feature film needed two extra filler tracks for the film soundtrack. eventually, stephen hillenburg, the series creator and director of the film, heard the songs and decided to put it on the film's soundtrack. although not originally intended for the film, "the best day ever" was played during the closing credits.
