Win tickets to see Macklemore & Ryan Lewis May 31st at The Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in L.A.

 

 

 

To be Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is to be scrutinized ceaselessly. The most consequential white hip-hop act since Eminem, this Seattle duo became a pop sensation, hip-hop curio and sociocultural lightning rod in 2012

The hit-making duo behind "Thrift Shop," "Same Love" and so many others, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are out on the road promoting their recent release, "This Unruly Mess I've Made".

They will be appearing at the Shrine on Tuesday – so keep your long weekend vibes rolling just a bit longer and turn out.  

On the back of the quirky breakthrough “Thrift Shop.” The boisterous and off-kilter track turned out to be the first in a string of four Billboard top 15 hits, two of which went to No. 1.

The success of the rapper Macklemore (born Ben Haggerty) and Mr. Lewis, a producer, was a reflection of the diffusion of hip-hop’s center, and the reach of its outer limits — here was a hip-hop group preoccupied with anti-ostentation and marriage equality, a combination that proved palatable to white audiences, which gobbled up the duo’s music, helping make its debut album, “The Heist,” go platinum.
