Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Otherside



Check out this new joint from Seattle artists Macklemore and Ryan Lewis titled "Otherside". Macklemore has recently put out The Unplanned Mixtape, and is for sale for a mere $5 via his blog: http://bengalyucky.blogspot.com
Beginning in the winter of 2008, MC Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis linked up to create their debut EP entitled “VS.” Based off an idea to sample relevant, contemporary bands, the EP exposes Hip-Hop fans to genres they may be less familiar with, with the hope of appealing to hipsters (let’s be real). “VS.” re-imagines the sounds of Beirut, The Killers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Arcade Fire and many more. The EP will be a completely donation-based release dropping at the end of November. “Otherside” (the first leak from the project) mashes big drums and orchestral pieces over Anthony Kiedis’ classic song about battling with heroin addiction. Macklemore now tells the story of Hip-Hop’s experience with drugs and a first person narrative about his own struggles with drug addiction and rehabilitation.

this song is so good but so sad too...it's so easy to listen to this stuff, sit back and be like, "that stuff only happens to other people," but once you realize that good people like Mack struggle with addiction so severely it really my heart go out to them...
