Description

[Machine Translation] Macklemore & Ryan, the (almost) unknown indie hip-hop duo who jumped to No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart with "Rise! Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, the (almost) unknown indie hip-hop duo who suddenly shot to No. 1 on the U.S. iTUNES chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart, have finally landed in Japan! October 2012. In October 2012, an album suddenly appeared on the U.S. music scene. It is the album "THE HEIST" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, a hip-hop duo consisting of Macklemore (real name: Ben Haggerty), a hip-hop artist from Seattle, and Ryan Lewis, a producer. The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart (October 19, 2012) on the heels of its #1 position on the U.S. iTUNES chart! The album sold 78,000 copies in its first week (according to Nielsen/SoundScan), an unprecedented first-week sales record for a (mostly) unknown indie artist. The album also debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Rap Hip-Hop Albums chart and Rap Albums chart, respectively. In early 2012, SOURCE Magazine featured him as one of the "hottest unsigned artists of the moment," and XXL Magazine picked him up for a special feature on newcomers for 2012. Rolling Stone magazine also praised the band, saying, "This is the story of an indie band's rise to prominence. In the UK, "Can't Hold Us," a song from the album, was used in a Miller Beer commercial, and the album is now getting a lot of attention. The album includes songs by Schoolboy Q and Ab-soul from Black Hippy, which also includes Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock, as well as Ben Bridgeman from Band of Horses. In case you missed it, the album features features Schoolboy Q and Ab-soul from Black Hippy, which also includes Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock, as well as Ben Bridwell from Band of Horses. Without any major label promotion, the group has steadily expanded its fan base through Internet/online exposure and live performances. Their live shows are particularly hot. Their live shows have sold out not only in the U.S. but also in many European countries. Their aggressive stage presence, which includes diving off balconies and crowdsurfing into the audience, has kids all over the world in a frenzy. Their single "Thrift Shop" was also a big hit in many countries. The day is near when this (almost) unknown indie duo will make it in Japan!
