Now when people think of Macklemore, they think of his mainstream music that's been promoted by radio stations and on Social Media. But what most people don't know is that Macklemore doesn't only write and sing, but he also raps. Not your typical street rapper, but he sure does have flow and lyrical intelligence. Macklemore is quite smart also and he sings and raps about what he knows and supports in life such as gay marriage and how he's personally seen drugs effect peoples lives and take a few. So he speaks from the heart and has earned my respect as an artist and person in general.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis has produced tons of music before he was even signed or even put on radio stations. Way back when I started listening to him back when his music was still non-copyrighted music (Able to be downloaded legally with no purchase). But it doesn't matter how OLD his music is, signed or not, Macklemore's music has always caught peoples attention.
