Again, I have been failing miserably at maintaining this blog at all. BUT in light of today's events, I must post. And it can be summed up in one word:
Macklemore
He is a white, I mean Irish, MC out of Seattle and I have recently fallen absolutely head over heels for his work. A conscious rapper if there ever was one, his music has such passion that I can't help but keep his albums on repeat. I have even gone as far as to get a fucking Twitter account to follow him in hopes of hearing a California tour date announced. To my great delight, today he leaked a new track off of a hopefully soon to be released album. It's written in tribute to sports announcer Dave Niehaus and his excitement as a child infatuated with baseball is tangible in the song. With samples of Niehaus' announcing, I feel like I'm up at a Seattle Mariners game. Please read his and his producer's (Ryan Lewis) blog at Bengal Yucky and give the song a quick listen.
In other news, I got backstage access to the JFK from MSTRCRFT show at the Catalyst next month as a photographer, so expect an update after that
