There is alot of good music out there and even more artists that don't receive the respect they deserve. In this article I am going to introduce you to Macklemore. Unlike alot of rap music his music is a feel good, easy going kind of sound that I can appreciate. I listen everything from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones. I am new to myLot and am not sure if can post links, but I will try anyway hopefully you will be able to find his music as enjoyable as I do.
I am going to post links to my favourite songs. The first being called 'Irish Celebration' it will all the more proud of being Irish or want to be. It's O.K. on St. Pattie's Day we are all Irish. Search it on YouTube.

I cannot post as my rating is under 500, help me do something about this and comment on this artist if you already know him or not and if you think he is in a whole another league of his own.
I like performers who have the confidence to be themselves and in 'Otherside' he shares his past struggles with substance abuse and, more importantly, the dark side of hard drugs. Displaying reality instead of glorifying criminality, the truth cannot evade the lines like it was sponge absorbing blood. The Red Hot Chillies' tune makes it dope as #ell if I could I would snort this song right to my dome.

'And We Danced' is a great beat to party to.
Also 'The Town' is a beautiful song for his hometown, Seattle, and the history of it and hip-hop. More bands to come so don't change the channel!
