Macklemore’s Trumpeter Drops A Mind-Blowing Hot Single

He calls himself the Pied Piper to the Universe, The Dizzy Gillespie of Hip Hop and The Sultan of Swag,he is Kenyan-born-Seattle-based Trumpet Artiste Owuor Arunga.

He is the mind-blowing talent behind Macklemore’s  signature trumpet sound in ‘Cant hold us down’ and despite his success in the USA he has not forgotten his roots.

Arunga has decided to give Kenyans an early Christmas present and released a single that will first play in Kenya before its international release.
Black as they come is the name of the single and features talents such as rapper Dadabass (who is his sister Geneiva Arunga, “a powerhouse rapper, poet and storyteller from Kenya, living in Seattle, Washington”) and  Felicia Loud.

So does that mean that we could be seeing the last of Macklemore and Owuor? Owuor made it  clear that he is not parting ways with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis by saying that

“I’ve always been a collaborative artist (The Physics, Thee Satisfaction, The Heavy (UK), BlackStax, My Own Project) but it’s been so busy I have been neglecting my larger ecosystem of artiste, so I felt like I had to get everyone in the studio and drop something cause it felt right… I’m multitasking, spreading the love… I’m inspired and taking action.”

Here is Black As They Come,prepare to get mind -blown!
