It might have been 11 years now since the release of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' global smash "Thrift Shop" (the song now has 2 billion streams on Spotify and just about as many views for the video on YouTube), but the party continues.

Macklemore earlier this year capped off the sold-out European leg of his Ben Tour, and on Sept. 17, he kicked off the North American run of shows at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. On Saturday night, the Seattle star brought the celebratory trek to The Rave/Eagles Club in Milwaukee.

Variance was on hand to capture the show, which is in support of Macklemore's newly released album Ben, a nod to the rapper-singer's real name Benjamin Haggerty.

In June, Macklemore released a new version of his song "No Bad Days," which now features the rising favorite Armani White on the updated remix. That new rendition of the song coincided with news of a second homecoming show in Seattle, where Mack will play back-to-back dates on Dec. 21 and 22 at the Climate Pledge Arena, capping off a rather busy year.
