About
Seattle's Ben Haggerty. 'The Heist' (with Ryan Lewis, 2012) won four Grammys (controversially, over Kendrick Lamar's 'good kid, m.A.A.d city') and started a hundred think-pieces about race in rap. 'Same Love' was a culturally important pre-marriage-equality moment. 'This Unruly Mess I've Made' was the underwhelming follow-up; 'Gemini' was the better post-Lewis solo turn. The catalog has had its critical-mass complications. The independence of releasing 'Thrift Shop' through their own label is a real piece of indie-rap history.
