The 2014 Grammy Awards
The rap duo won four Grammy Awards last January, including best new artist and rap album for "The Heist," beating efforts from Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Kanye West and Drake.
"Wow, we're here on the stage right now," said Macklemore, thanking fans first, then his fiancé and team. "I want to say we made this album without a record label, we made it independently and we appreciate all the support."
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis took home the first of the major awards at the 56th Grammys on Sunday night. The rap duo from Seattle won many major awards following their phenomenal success with hits like "Same Love," "Can't Hold Us" and "Thrift Shop." They also received the titles of best rap album, best rap performance and best rap song for "Thrift Shop."
American Music Awards applauded the indie hip hop duo's efforts with six nominations, winning the Best Hip Hop/Rap Album category. American Billboard certainly approved their choice of music, with 'Thrift Shop' sitting comfortably on the number one spot of the yearend Hot 100 charts across all genres. Other songs that made the Billboard charts include 'White Walls,' a song about Cadillacs, and 'Can't Hold Us,' Spotify's #1 streamed song for 2013.
