Macklemore holds a singular place in both the Pacific Northwest and now across the country as he
emerges as a premier national hip-hop artist with numerous career highlights to
his name. A genuine lyricist and a captivating performer, Macklemore, with his DJ/production
partner Ryan Lewis, have garnered critical acclaim, a devoted fan base, and a
steadily growing anticipation for their upcoming work.Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ music is distinct for
channeling cultural moments and refreshingly self-aware testimony through
candid lyricism and expertly crafted composition. Their work has impressed and
enthused a multitude of listeners, nowhere more evident than in the populist
barometer of the internet, where some of Macklemore’s songs, videos and even
fan-uploaded media have over one million listens and views. The recent single
“Wings” is an anthemic meditation on being of the Air Jordan generation with a
lucid perspective on an otherwise trodden motif. “Otherside” offers a darkly
searing portrait of his own story of addiction and the hype of substance within
hip-hop culture. Crowd-favorite songs like “And We Danced” and “Irish
Celebration” demonstrate Macklemore’s ability to get raucous with disarming
candor and relentlessly energetic showmanship.On their first national
headlining tour in the spring of 2011, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis packed houses
and sold out a majority of their shows, including those in New York City,
Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and a three-night run at Seattle’s Showbox
at the Market, where over 3,500 tickets sold out in less than 48 hours.Listen song here:YouTube
