Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – The Vs. EP
Posted in Artists, Mixtapes on December 15th, 2009 by Hyphen
The homies Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are not only two of my favorite artists from the town, but they are also two of my favorite people in the Seattle music scene. They’re just really cool dudes who love making art and take it pride in everything they do. When you mix in their incredible talent on top of that (need proof?), it’s mandatory to check for everything they’re involved in.
Here’s their long awaited collaboration, The Vs. EP, where they sampled some contemporary bands and combined rock with hip-hop. Don’t get it twisted though, this isn’t some half-assed, corny mash up project. Instead, it’s an excellent piece of work where Ryan’s lush soundscapes are complimented perfectly by Mack’s heartfelt and sobering (quite literally) rhymes. I can’t recommend this highly enough.
