Following the large success of the duo's debut album The Heist (2012), Macklemore revealed on January 15, 2016 with an Instagram post the This Unruly Mess I've Made release.[1] "Brad Pitt's Cousin" was released as the third single off of the album on April 12, 2016, succeeding "Dance Off".[1] The song cites the American actor Brad Pitt.[2]

Critical reception

The song received mixed reviews from music critics. Killian Young of Consequence of Sound gave the album overall a 'C−', and said of "Brad Pitt's Cousin": "we have hip hop culture: the awkward interjection from God, and the awful reference to the long-expired “deez nuts” meme."[3] Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic commented that Macklemore "tries to make it seem like he loves being called the actor’s ugly relative, and opens with him bragging about his cat’s Instagram followers".[4]

Music video

The song's music video was released on April 11, 2016, exclusively to Macklemore's Facebook page.[5] It was recorded in London and directed by Lewis.[6]
