Description
A tiny snare pickup before the hook in CHANT, with Tones and I belting, tells you Ben aims for uplift without going saccharine. Macklemore - Ben (2LP) is the most open he’s sounded since the Ryan Lewis days, balancing pop sparkle with clear-eyed journaling. Maniac, with Windser, bounces on neon synths but keeps the verses grounded and wry. Faithful pairs NLE Choppa with a sober look at relapse and resolve, one of his tighter narratives. Heroes brings DJ Premier’s cuts into the mix for a grin-inducing boom-bap detour.
As a 2LP, the low end sits deeper and imaging opens up the choir stacks and handclaps. The production perks without crowding his voice, which helps the confessional edges land. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Macklemore records online with us. Sequencing smartly alternates fists-up anthems with late-night reckonings so it plays from start to finish without a skip. File it next to Chance the Rapper’s big-hearted era, noting Macklemore leans further into everyday detail. 1984 adds glossy nostalgia and a chorus built for car stereos, but he keeps the wink in place instead of chasing pastiche.
Available to order online or in our Melbourne record store, your crate needs this one.
