Ed Sheeran’s calming voice is featured in the chorus creating soothing vocals. He sings about creating memories, teaching important life lessons and promising to be the best possible dad. “Growing Up” was written for Macklemore’s new-born daughter, creating a truly meaningful song. It features four other artists, creating an even more lively performance. “Downtown” is by far the most well known song on the album and even reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It reminds me a lot of “Thrift Shop” from The Heist in 2012, which introduced fans to the unique style of Macklemore for the first time. This song has a fun and energetic beat for the entirety of the song. But by the end, the tune picked up and even featured vocals from Jamila Woods, who is most famous for collaborating with “The Social Experiment” on their hit “Sunday Candy.” Although this wasn’t my favorite Macklemore song, it definitely tells a message I’ll remember. At almost nine minutes long, the song got a little boring in the middle and almost made me want to fast forward. In the song, he raps while making a statement about discrimination and the Black Lives Matter social movement. This track is a sequel to “White Privilege,” which Macklemore released in 2009. This album contains lyrics and vocals that truly exhibit Macklemore’s unique style of powerful messages and catchy beats. Since the debut of their first album as a duo, Macklemore and Lewis have released three more singles, performed at the MTV Video Music awards, went on a world tour and most recently released their second album, This Unruly Mess I’ve Made.
The Heist featured two songs, “Thrift Shop” and “Can’t Hold Us,” that both reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have become one of the most popular rap and hip hop duos since their release of The Heist in 2012.
