Seattle-bred rapper Macklemore released his “Hind’s Hall” track which serves as a protest song for the pro-Palestinian demonstrations on university and college campuses.
He will donate streaming proceeds from the track to UNRWA. Macklemore called out American politicians, including U.S. President Joe Biden, for funding Israel’s war in Gaza. The song’s title references Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall building. Students at Columbia University in New York City occupied Hamilton Hall. Eventually, New York City police officers raided the encampment and arrested more than 100 protesters. Macklemore received a major endorsement for his “Hind’s Hall” record. 2024 U.S. presidential candidate Cornel West showed support for The Heist album creator on social media.
