It’s our pleasure to bring you the latest cover of RESPECT. That’s Macklemore & Ryan Lewis staring you right in the face, ushering in a new direction for the music, the culture, and most strikingly, the living, breathing machine of the record industry. You can pick up RESPECT. Vol. 4 Issue 4 on June 18th–a good day eh? This edition features a bevy of legends: Jay-Z, Eminem, Nas, Dr. Dre, Outkast, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, and Pharrell make appearances, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

UPDATE: Mack himself seems pretty excited about the issue: he retweeted us!

Thanks Macklemore! For all they loyal fans that got sent our way, here’s a little something extra–an exclusive quote from the interview:

“We took a gamble and we did it our way. And things just started popping off…We still do everything ourselves, though. We did a video shoot last night and I was moving lights and cleaning up equipment…”

That’s all y’all get for now. Be sure to cop when we drop on June 18.
