"It's here," Macklemore, a.k.a. Ben Haggerty, told fans in a statement published on his website on Friday.

"Always a surreal feeling to put your art out into the universe," Macklemore continued. "I feel such a mixture of emotions right now. One-and-a-half years went into this project. So many ups and downs. Breakthroughs and obstacles. Conversations, debates, questions. At times, I thought it would never see the light of day. But it's here."

Prior to this album's release, Macklemore and Lewis made available the album's closing track, a cut titled "White Privilege II" that features Woods. The release caused a bit of a stir — some listeners said the title was in poor taste while others praised the artist for tackling the issue of race in America which, at the very least, sparked a dialogue.

And apparently, getting audiences to reflect and think critically is what this album's all about, according to Macklemore.

"I hope you resonate with it," he wrote in his statement on Friday. "That something grabs you. Makes you think. Question. Laugh. Dance. Inspire. Feel something. That's what music is for. I'm truly proud of what we made.

"From here on out, it isn't just ours anymore. It belongs to the world. And now we get to travel around from stage to stage and celebrate with y'all."
