Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Unveil Tracklist for 'This Unruly Mess I've Made' Album
Music

The duo's sophomore album is made up of 13 tracks including the previously-released 'Growing Up', 'Downtown', 'Kevin' and the much-talked-about 'White Privilege II'.

AceShowbiz - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have shared the official tracklist of their upcoming sophomore album, "This Unruly Mess I've Made". The 13-song project is set for release on February 26.

Those 13 tracks, according to Karen Civil, include the previously-released "Growing Up" featuring Ed Sheeran, "Downtown" with Eric Nally, Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee and Grandmaster Caz, "Kevin" with Leon Bridges and "White Privilege II" featuring Jamila Woods.

The latter, which finds Macklemore discussing racism and cultural appropriation, sparked controversy upon its release a few weeks ago. The sequel to "White Privilege" from his 2005 solo LP also started a Twitter war between Iggy Azalea and Talib Kweli after some fans misinterpreted it as a diss.

While discussing the song in a recent interview, the Seattle rapper said he didn't mean to attack Azalea with his lyrics. "For me, that second verse is unpacking. It's an unpacking moment of internalized criticism and self-doubt, and 'What have I done,' and letting the criticism infiltrate who I am. 'Why am I insecure at a protest?' " he told Rolling Stone.

"And I think that people get put into boxes, and the conversation around cultural appropriation - I was at the forefront of that, rightfully so. And that conversation also included Miley Cyrus and Iggy Azalea, and that's why their names are on the record," he added.

Also boasting "Brad Pitt's Cousin", "Let's Eat", "Bolo Tie" and "The Train" among others, "This Unruly Mess I've Made" is a follow-up to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' debut set "The Heist". The 2012 record won the duo multiple Grammy Awards in 2014.
