AceShowbiz - The wait for a new Macklemore album will be over soon. The rapper, who had a successful 2013 but spent 2014 quietly, has promised that the follow-up to his and producer Ryan Lewis' 2012 Grammy-winning effort "The Heist" is coming out this year.
Macklemore revealed the new project as he responded to a fan's complaint on Twitter. "It's 2015 and I still don't have a new @macklemore album wtf," the fan wrote, to which the star replied, "You will this year. Believe that."
Billboard then reported that a new Macklemore album's indeed underway. A source told them that the LP would likely arrive in the second half of the year. Other details, meanwhile, are still kept under tight wraps.
In addition to winning the Best Rap Album at last year's Grammy Awards, "The Heist" spawned a number of hits including "Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us" that both peaked at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100.
