If you're my friend in real life or on Facebook, you've known of my adoration for Mayor Booker for a few years now. If you aren't familiar with him, google him asap. I would not be surprised in the least if we one day call him President Booker. Actually, I'd jump up and down telling you that I told you so :)
Moving on, Macklemore is my other official fave of 2012.
Actually, I came across his work when reading one of my fave new blogs, Manhattan Nest, who posted this killer song:
Again, if you're my friend in real life (or on Facebook), you know I'm extremely Pro-Gay Human Rights and so I obviously loved this song.
So I spotify'ed Macklemore, listened to a few more of his politically and socially charged songs, and was hooked. It just so happens that a few weeks ago, Macklemore hit the charts with his "Thrift Shop" song as well, which also has a great beat.
Had you heard of Macklemore before you heard "Thrift Shop" on the radio? Are you a fan?
Note: If you sample his music, just a warning that most of his songs have explicit lyrics, and many of his messages are socially charged (which I love) and tend to steer quite to the left. Just a forewarning :)

This album has been on repeat on my ipod for a few weeks. I pretty much his whole album " The Heist"!
Funny I sent this song to my gay BFF & told him he should check it out. :)
What a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing!
"There is no freedom until we are equal" - what a powerful line!
