For Macklemore, a solid collab is greater than the sum of its parts. The rapper (otherwise known as Ben Haggerty) scored the biggest-selling download of 2013 with the unstoppable hit Thrift Shop," thanks to a team-up with his regular music-making partner Ryan Lewis and Wanz (aka Michael Wansley).

On Arrows, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis appear as featured artists for another Seattle artist, Chris Mansfield, who works under the moniker Fences.

Its a reunion of sorts for Macklemore and Mansfield, who are good friends who've worked together on multiple occasions. The duo met years ago while gigging around Seattle, and Mansfield co-wrote a song on Macklemore's 2012 album The Heist ("10,000 Hours"), and was featured on 2011's "Otherside Remix," which he co-wrote.

iHeartRadio's 5 Best Performances

Fences enjoys an underground following, but its fair to say the alt-pop outfit hasnt yet tasted anything like the mainstream, international success Macklemore has struck.

We do get asked often for features, Macklemore told Billboard ahead of his performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. I think this record stood out because Im a friend of Chris, I believe in his music. Its one thing to do a feature for somebody whos already famous, its another to, like, work with someone that you like, that you love, that you have an appreciation for and make art, and thats what its all about.

As Billboard reported ahead of the Arrows release, Fences is known for tortured love songs and emo anthems, but the single has a slightly lighter touch than the songs on its self-titled debut album from 2010. Mansfield signed to Atlantic's Elektra Records imprint last year.

It sounds like a cop-out but it was very organic. I dont like to use that word because everyone uses that word. But it was, says Mansfield of the demo-to-completion for Arrows. It was kind of like, we were together twice before and I had a track he would be awesome on and I thought lyrically he would be relevant with it and I sent it to him and he said 'yeah'. And here we are.

Macklemore made headlines on the weekend when he took the iHeartRadio fest stage with star singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran for a performance of "Same Love."

Id seen Ed do a cover of it when he was on tour and we had him out for our tour last year at some point in New York, Weve been friends ever sinceamazing voice, great artist, he supports the song and were in the same city, Mack says of his British buddy. It makes sense.

WASHINGTON, Sept 21 A 42-year-old man was arrested on Friday evening in Washington DC after jumping the White House fences and making it past the front door.

Reuters reported that the man, identified as Omar Gonzalez, was carrying a 3- inch long folding knife when he climbed over the fences along Pennsylvania Avenue, ran to the North Portico entrance, a distance of about 70 yards, and turned the doors brass knob that allowed him to step in the White House vestibule.

According to the Washington Post, the front door on the North Portico, which is frequently used and just one flight of stairs away from the Obamas living quarters, was unlocked at the time of the breach.

After Gonzalez made it past the door, an officer standing post stopped him and subdued him.

USA Today reported that only minutes before the breach, Obama had boarded his helicopter on the South Lawn with his daughters for a weekend getaway to Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.

On Saturday, a second man was arrested for trespassing at the White House. He approached the gates on foot first, but returned with his vehicle to another gate after being sent away by security.

After a long, unapologetic effort to defeat Tea Party and other so-called unelectable candidates in GOP primaries, the Washington establishment will likely need Tea Party voters in November to help swing several tight Senate races and win control of the upper chamber.

Republicans appear poised to win three of the net total six seats required to take the Senate. But they are locked in six other, too-close-to call contests in their effort to win the remaining three seats.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee on Friday dismissed the notion that party voters are not united behind their candidates.

Can you point to a race ? Its a false narrative, said group spokeswoman Brook Hougsen, who cited a recent George Washington University survey that shows Republicans with a 16-point advantage over Democrats (52-to-36 percent) in a generic poll on competitive Senate races.

Kevin Broughton, spokesman for the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, a political action committee, singled out a few races, particularly in Kansas and Mississippi, but suggested his troops will rally for the general election.

While Tea Party people and conservative activists might have a bad taste in their mouth, the goal is to keep Barack Obama from making more bad appointments to the federal appeals courts, he said. And the way you stop that is to take away (Nevada Sen.) Harry Reids Democratic majority and his nuclear option.

Broughton said they will focus on such grassroots efforts as get-out-the-vote, instead of buying TV or other media spots.

The establishment and its deep-pocket supporters made clear from the start of the 2014 election cycle that their goal was to field a full squad of electable candidates, thus avoiding past mistakes, and to weed out anybody who might get elected and undermine their legislative agenda.

Our job is to win a GOP majority, NRSC strategist Brad Dayspring said in terse November 2013 tweet.
