CONCERT PREVIEW: Macklemore @ The Anthem, 9/19

By Lexi Plaisted

“Thrift Shop” rapper and singer Macklemore will captivate thousands at the Anthem later this month, fresh off the release of his third studio album, BEN. His ability to enliven a crowd, even surfing through a sea of people with his drum set, makes a Macklemore concert a must-see. 

Macklemore is known for his classic chart-topping hits, like the infectious, upbeat “Can’t Hold Us” and the funky, moped-inspired “Downtown.” He is praised for his syncretic style of rap and interesting collaborations, such as the nostalgic “Good Old Days” with pop singer Kesha and activist anthem “Same Love” with spoken word artist Mary Lambert. Now, his reflective album BEN, inspired by his sobriety journey, maintains his groovy hip-hop style and explores new collaborations with artists like NLE Choppa.
