Tracing Macklemore's music career

Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, better known by his stage name Macklemore, was born on June 19, 1983, in Seattle, Washington State, and was introduced to hip-hop music by the broadcasts of the hip-hop group Digital Underground.

Macklemore began singing while attending high school and released several EPs in the early 2000s, including The Unplanned Mixtape in 2009, his second following the beginning of his collaboration with rapper Ryan Lewis. The mixtape reached number 7 on the Itunes hip-pop chart.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis found critical acclaim with their 2012 album, The Heist, which won the Best Rap Album award at the 2014 Grammy Awards and debuted as the chart-topper on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 78,000 copies within the first week of its release.
