Macklemore ft. Morray - TAIL LIGHTS - Live Session | Vevo ctrl

Prior to its release, Macklemore hinted that ‘BEN’ would be a bit “moodier” than previous projects. The famously truthful and self-aware Seattle rapper had been open about a relapse during the pandemic, which also happened to be the span in which he was working on his third studio album. So it certainly made sense that fans could expect an overall darker shade of Macklemore’s side when ‘BEN’ arrived in March. Intro track “CHANT” references his addiction and its repercussions within the first minute. Then it switches focus to the reasons he pushed through: family, his city, his self-worth. “HEROES” reveals that the “Thrift Shop” rapper has his childhood, his growth, and his origin story on his mind. Makes sense, he’s got a kid now. Although it ventures to deeply personal and dark places, this compilation of songs signal a triumphant new chapter. Not only through personal problems, but artistically as well. Trap gospel crooner Morray rolled through the shoot to join his pal on a live run through their “TAIL LIGHTS” collab; Mack calls it a meditation on "control versus letting go and realizing that we're powerless." Great performances, even stronger message.
