Rapper by day, pianist by night? While in Boston yesterday, Macklemore and his trumpeter Owuor Arguna, showed off their musical talents with some  soothing lounge music. This would probably make waiting in the doctor’s office somewhat bearable. Stay tuned for Volume 2.

This is fuckin’ awesome. After going platinum
