You might not like his music, but he's bringing much needed attention to the region. Their "Thrift Shop feat. Wanz" single is on it's way to going triple platinum and is currently #1 in America, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Denmark! Amazing.

Proud I could be involved in the creation of that song and all of their music. #206 :siccness:

Speak on it.

I knew Ben as a casual friend from like 10 years ago and it's cool to see him do so well. I'm proud of him, although I'm not a huge fan of his music. Then again 30 year old dudes don't seem to be his target audience. Hopefully his success continues because he deserves it. Also hopefully it brings some attention to the area.

Biggest thing in Hip hop for Seattle since Sir-mix a lot!!! Everyone talks about being a BALLER but Macklemore flips it and talks about Thrift shop. I was shocked to see the numbers he was doing on an independent level. So D-sane you produce some of it?

I was hearing this song for a minute before I knew it was by Macklemore. I didn't realize that was Wanz on the hook till this thread. The first time I heard it I thought it might be Timbaland. It's always good to see the NW receiving shine and the song is pretty catchy too, so hats off to them. What was your involvement D-Sane? Engineer of some kind?
