Ben Haggerty is a rapper who records under the name of Macklemore. After starting to write lyrics at the age of 14 and putting out his first mixtape Open Your Eyes in 2000 under the name Professor Macklemore, he became a regular face on Seattle's Hip-Hop scene, and built up a loyal local following. But just as his career was just getting going, Macklemore started struggling with alcohol and drug abuse, and between 2005 and 2009, little was heard from him. In 2008, following an intervention from his father, Macklemore entered rehab and he has been clean ever since, apart from one relapse three years later, which he recounts on this song.
