“I don’t really know what he does? I know he’s a package deal, though. He comes with Macklemore a lot.
Macklemore might be one of the biggest rappers in the world right now, but his right hand man Ryan Lewis doesn’t get all the shine like that. Serving as the producer for Mack, Ryan plays the background even though they’re both everywhere together.
Jimmy Fallon decided to send him out to the New York City streets to ask fans what they know about him and their responses were classic. Most didn’t know what he did, but could point him out in the picture (by default), yet they couldn’t put two and two together and figure out it was him standing right in front of them. It was hilarious.

Some of the responses that were most hilarious include:
1. It seems like he’s doing something with computers or what not.
2. To be honest, I’m on the Macklemore side than Ryan Lewis

But this goes to show you that the Internet and real world are very different worlds. Because even as part of one of the biggest duos in the world, still can’t get love out in these streets. We see you, though. Ryan Lewis, what up!
