Vocalist Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis have come together to create The VS. EP. A concept album sampling artists such as Beirut, The Killers, The Arcade Fire, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more. The album will be available for free download with a suggested donation beginning 12/15/09.
Between 2006-2009 Vocalist Symmetry and producer Ryan Lewis crafted their debut LP. "The duo has somehow managed to evoke just about every decade of popular music, coating each audible memory into a hyper-real representation of an era that never existed, a pastiche of allusions to the roaring 30s, the rock of the 60s and 70s, and the alternative revolution of the early 90s, all accomplished while remaining firmly rooted in the sonics of modern hip hop. Put simply, this may be the only record you’ll ever hear that will both rattle your sub woofers and make you crave a mint julep." Josh Karp

Hey man what's up! I'm just loving the symmetry/ryan lewis album, truly amazing! And now i'm curious about the vs. ep with macklemore, what's the deal with that?
Wassup man? Album sounds good. Got a question though. A while back you had a beat called "Don't Know" or something like that. Wat ever happened to that? I was really feelin it, if you ever do a song to it let me know cause i wanna hear that.
each instrumental or track is something totally different, from a weird vinyl sample, to what was that a Kazoo? lol you're a true inspiration, dont ever stop
