This will be one of the most important posts to me as Macklemore really is one of my favourite artists out there today. In this genre, lyrically he's by far and away the best to me. I discovered him about a year ago and have downloaded almost every single song and loved pretty much each one. He has this feeling of pure honesty in his songs, something inspiring, something new. While his music might not strike you as immediately catchy or even interesting I promise that listening well is really worth it.
His first music dropped in 2000 under the name Professor Macklemore, he then continued to drop music up until now (with a break of 4 years due to personal problems in his life involving substance abuse). I'm happy he got over it.
In 2008 Macklemore joined up with Ryan Lewis who to date works together with Macklemore to produce the tracks.
Each album and mixtape below have some gems worth discovering.

I'll end it there for now as this post is getting long (although there really are MANY more tracks i'd like to include) and in future i'll try to keep them short, but this really had to be an exception. If anyone takes the time to go through his stuff, let me know what you think.
