Macklemore opened up about his 2020 relapse and how it became a “catalyst for art” in his upcoming album, 'Ben'
, the rapper opened up about the “intense time,” and how it became a “catalyst for art” in his upcoming album,“I’m used to a certain schedule of touring, of being gone, of being home, of recovery and being able to go to a physical 12-step meeting. That stopped during COVID. Eventually, I’m on Instagram while being on Zoom and I’m just not really paying attention to the meetings,” he said.
Macklemore explained that his relapse didn’t last long, but that it was a “reminder” and a “slap in the face” to prioritize his own well-being. “‘This is your life. You get one of these. What are you going to do with this precious time on this Earth? Do you want to be secretive? Do you want to be hiding?” he remembered thinking. “Do you want to be in the shadows, or do you want to live your life to its fullest potential, get back on it, and be honest?’”, saying that “pain is a catalyst for great art,” and that his relapse created vulnerability.
“I don’t want to inflict pain on myself anymore to make art. It’s not like I need to self-sabotage in order to create, but I think that it created some darker, more honest and vulnerable moments on the album,” he said.alongside DJ Premier, where he raps about the “criminal” heroes he had as a kid growing up.
