Seattle native Macklemore offers another powerful visual, only this time off THE VS. EP (REDUX) for the song “Otherside Remix,” which features vocals from Fences. For those of you who thought he could not top the NBA-dreaming/consumer culture of sneakerheads theme in “Wings”; think again.

Shot in various locations for about a year, longtime friend and director Jason Koenig chronicles Macklemore’s personal struggles of the same “stuff Weezy be sippin’ on.” “Otherside” follows a message of how music affects our youth culture today, specifically if the content is about substance abuse of  alcohol, lean or marijuana smoking.

Macklemore manages to open our eyes to the aftermath with his earnest storytelling. It’s another addition to the very few pleas in hip-hop today that listeners shouldn’t indulge in the world of drugs.
