The adventure the two take pulls at heartstrings, because not only is watching Macklemore hang out with Helen utterly charming, but Mrs. The two spend the day driving a vintage Cadillac, comically egging people’s houses, dancing and singing at a karaoke bar, thrift hopping (of course), and eating cake and ice cream with Helen’s old-timer friends. The video opens with Macklemore surprising his grandma, Helen Schott, for her 100th birthday. Upon joining the Kraken Investor Group, Macklemore and Lynch “are expected to lead Kraken and Climate Pledge Arena initiatives to connect with hockey fans, music lovers, and community members,” according to NHL reporting.Macklemore is back with an upbeat anthem titled “Glorious.” The song is amusing and contagiously cheerful, and it’s coupled with visuals that will melt anyone’s heart. “It’s a big moment for myself, for Marshawn-we’re both super pumped to be involved-for my family and for the future.” It’s just something that I can’t really even put into words. It’s really the spirit of the city in so many ways, and to be a part of that new era that is the Kraken, that is the NHL in Seattle, that is the new arena, to do that was a no-brainer in terms of the opportunity. It gives us one common purpose to root for.
“I am a Seattle sports fan through and through, have been my entire life,” Macklemore said in a statement to the NHL. As for Lynch, the former athlete spent the majority of his football career playing for the Seattle Seahawks. He had adopted the name “Professor Macklemore” for an art project. It was also in his Seattle high school where the name Macklemore first emerged. Macklemore was born and raised in Seattle, so the financial move made sense for the artist.
The Seattle Kraken, a National Hockey League team, have announced two of their newest minority owners-Grammy-winning rapper Macklemore and former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch.
