Meestal brengen ze samen een single uit, maar ditmaal doet Macklemore het zonder Ryan Lewis op zijn nieuwe single GLORIOUS. Dat betekent niet dat de rapper breekt met zijn huidige sound. Die is en blijft voorspelbaar. Macklemore meldt: “After the last tour, Ryan and I agreed that some creative space would be good for the both of us. Ryan Lewis is my brother forever. We have been working together damn near every day for 9 years and it felt like the right time. This decision came from a place of love for one another. I’m the best man at his wedding next month. There will be more M&RL music to come when the time is right. And you’ll be hearing from Ryan very, very soon (he has some incredible records that are about to drop with other artists).’ GLORIOUS is de voorloper van Macklemore`s solo album, dat later dit jaar verschijnt. GLORIOUS belooft niks nieuws onder de zon.
