‘Thrift Shop’ Rapper Macklemore Is Coming To Kenya!

You know him from soul-stealing songs such as ”Thrift Shop” “Wings” and “Can’t Hold Us”. Ben Haggerty  popularly known by his stage name Macklemore has not only gone platinum but has also made music history.

Macklemore and side-kick  Ryan Lewis were the first duo in Billboard Hot 100 chart history to have their first two singles both reach number 1.This was their ”Thrift Shop” and  “Can’t Hold Us singles.Apart from making great music Macklemore is also a supporter of LGTB rights  including same-sex marriage.His support for this cause is expressed in his single “Same Love” which also condemns homophobia  in mainstream hip hop, society, and mass media.

It seems that there are plans in the works  for the American rapper to come to Kenya next year!

This will be made possible by the trumpeter that gives Macklemore’s music that distinct sound, Owuor Arunga.Here is what Macklemore posted on his page:
