Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Reveal 'This Unruly Mess I've Made' Tracklisting

With less than two weeks to go, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have revealed the tracklisting for their album This Unruly Mess I’ve Made. On the follow-up to 2012’s Grammy-winning The Heist, the Seattle duo calls on a mix of old school and new school including YG, Chance the Rapper, KRS-One, Leon Bridges, and DJ Premier. Actor Idris Elba even guests on “Dance Off” alongside Dr. Dre signee Anderson .Paak.

Additionally, Ed Sheeran sings on “Growing Up,” a tribute to Macklemore’s daughter Sloan, while hip-hop vets Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, and Grandmaster Caz appear on the lead single “Downtown.” The Black Lives Matter-inspired track “White Privilege II” is also included in the 13-track set.

In January, Macklemore explained the title in an open letter to fans. “Look at the mess. Not just the one we created, but the one that is the very fabric of our country,” he said. “The mess we’re all living in. Stop being silent. Even if it’s not perfect, or politically correct, you have to speak up and you have to listen.”

This Unruly Mess I’ve Made arrives Feb. 26. See the tracklisting below.
