After bouncing around the Seattle scene for more than ten years, things seem to finally be happening now for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. The hip-hop duo recently played three sold out shows in their hometown and performed at the Mariner’s 2011 Opening Day ceremonies on April 8 (thank you Wikipedia). The band is in the midst of a small tour with Juno winning Canadian rapper Shad (aka Shadrach Kabango) and they are playing a sold out show at the Studio at Webster Hall tomorrow night (Apr 16). Macklemore and Lewis kicked off the Thursday lineup at The FADER Fort at SXSW this year to a small but appreciative crowd (it was early), and while I’m not such a big hip-hop enthusiast, I admit that they won me over with their set.
