Episode 4 tackles the hip hop genre going over Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s album The Heist released in 2012. This album goes over Macklemore’s personal struggles and things that are wrong in society. The Heist begins with Ten Thousand Hours and goes into Can’t Hold us and Same Love later in early stages of the album. I split this episode into two parts to cut down on time. Let me know what you think of a two part episode. Instagram at jd4unc. Go check out part two for Can’t Hold Us and the Y as well as the podcast questions. Part two will show up as Season 4 Episode 5.
