Voices of the Day: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis



So many presents for all you hip hop enthusiasts. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis drop their new single and radio debut, entitled Can't Hold Us off their upcoming project. Ray Dalton laces the hook with his gospel vocals and lays it down on this upbeat yet somehow still spiritual sounding instrumental.

Macklemore delivers his signature and distinctive flow that we see in his other popular tracks; Irish Celebration, Wings and The Town. It doesn't really fall into just one category of style but is undoubtedly on point. All of his songs have an almost morally uplifting feel to it, in line with songs like Common's The Light and Blackstar's Respiration. This rapper always has something meaningful to say and a certain "je ne se quois" with the way he says it.

A big congratulations is in order to the Seattle native and his producer, the track is already blowing up on Itunes, and it's well deserved.

Flow? On point. Beat? Definitely on point. My advice to you; get on the Macklemore train before it becomes a bandwagon.
