Macklemore does not back down in his new pro-Palestine protest song "Hind's Hall," joining the legion of musicians, especially rappers, who use their lyricism for progressive activism.

The Seattle rapper dropped the song Monday evening on social media in response to the ongoing war in Gaza as the death toll skyrockets and Israel escalates an invasion in Rafah. The song also uplifts protests across the country at various college campuses, including Columbia University.

At the center of the song is Hind's Hall, a new name that protesters at Columbia gave to an occupied Hamilton Hall last month. They renamed the hall in remembrance of Hind Rajab, a six-year-old killed by the Israeli military in February.
