Macklemore Supports College Campus Protests, Rips Biden on Pro-Palestinian Song ‘Hind’s Hall’

All proceeds from the song will go to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency once it hits streaming.

Macklemore hasn’t been one to mince words in the past when speaking up for a cause he believes in. Now, the Seattle native is throwing his support behind Gaza and college student protests across America on the politically charged song “Hind’s Hall.”

The “Thrift Shop” rapper uploaded the fiery track to social media on Monday evening (May 6), and promised once the song makes it onto streaming services, all proceeds will go toward the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which offers assistance and protection to Palestinian refugees.
