Caption and photos by Andy Argyrakis With no mainstream promotion whatsoever, rapper Macklemore and producer/DJ Ryan Lewis made an unbelievable leap from the local Seattle scene to the world at large thanks to an onslaught of viral and word of mouth buzz. The group's insanely infectious grooves and socially conscious lyrics that seek to shatter stereotypes (like rallying against gang banging and homophobia in hip-hop) helped last year's self-released debut "The Heist" move over a million copies and its tour of the same name pack out Chicago's primary college arena. |
