Hear Macklemore’s meditative addiction ballad Drug Dealer here at Y101, Always First.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have shared a poignant new song about addiction, Drug Dealer, featuring vocals from Ariana DeBoo and co-production from Joshua "Budo" Karp.
Over a meditative piano progression offset by frantic percussion, Macklemore tackles the vast scope of substance abuse, touching on the drug- or alcohol-related deaths of celebrities like Prince, Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse, the political pull of pharmaceutical companies and the ongoing opioid epidemic in America.
