If you are from Seattle, or have any friends there, chances are you have heard of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. If not, you will soon. They just released their first full length album and its making a splash. I would attribute this to the amazing hooks and melodies brought by Ryan and the relentlessly honest prose of Macklemore. Songs discussing same-sex marriage, addiction, and thrift shopping (seriously) make up the breadth of content that speaks about real people to real people.
I had a hard time choosing just one song, but please enjoy that one below…
“A Wake (feat. Evan Roman)” – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
