They are committed to using their platform and resources to advance issues of equity and justice and are partnering with organizations dedicated to these same values.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis just released the new single “Downtown”, which continues to climb the Billboard and radio charts on the rise to quickly become the duo’s 3rd Top 5 hit. The song, which features Eric Nally and Hip Hop pioneers Grandmaster Caz, Kool Moe Dee and Melle Mel, has been performed on the VMA’s and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and the video has been viewed over 45 million times on YouTube. It was certified GOLD with over 500,000 in sales in the US, selling over 1 million tracks worldwide. Last night the duo performed the song at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Milan where it won the prize for “Best Video”.
