While insults, humiliations and personal accusations against Kendrick Lemar and Drake are trending in the rap world, there are still people with serious and real concerns: Macklemore has released his new song called Indian on his official social media channels. Hall made broadcasts in support of pro-Palestinian American students. In less than three minutes, the rapper criticizes the Biden administration, calls for a ceasefire, and condemns police brutality against those seeking peace. Proceeds from the song will go to UNRWA and Palestinian refugees once it is made available on music streaming services.

The name of this song is taken from the name pro-Palestinian students gave to Hamilton Hall at Columbia University after the martyrdom of 6-year-old Hind Rajab in Gaza. The video for this song includes footage of police brutality and explosions in Gaza.

The song begins with a quote from the band's 1988 anti-police song NWA: "When I was seven I took a lesson from Cube and Eazy-E / What was that lesson? Ah yes, 'fuck the police'." He later defends students accused of antisemitism: " We see their lies/They say anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism/I saw my fellow Jews protesting/sympathizing and shouting "Palestine must be free."

Macklemore also mentions Biden and Drake in his song and attacks a system he believes the white far-right supports.

In his song denouncing censorship, he says: “You can buy Meta, but you can't buy me. You can ban TikTok, you can remove us from the algorithm, but it is too late, we have seen the truth, we have witnessed it, we have seen the rubble, the buildings, the mothers, the children and all the men you see. Then it was the turn of the Biden government: "Your hands are stained with blood, Biden, we see everything and I will not vote for you in the fall."

In this return to rap, Macklemore consciously references current events in the hip-hop world, joining his peers who remain complacent and do not take a stance on world events. "What happened to the artist? What should you say? If I were anyone's man, I could be fired today. It's good for me because I wrote these from the bottom of my heart. I want a truce, who cares about Drake's answer. What are you willing to risk? What are you willing to sacrifice?"

Macklemore's song was highly appreciated by critics and people and received tens of millions of views and millions of likes by viewers on social networks.
