It's always fun when your morning bus ride to work ends up in a impromptu performance by one of your favorite rappers. Sadly, it doesn't happen to just anyone. But to a lucky few passengers on a bus in New York, it was big surprise.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis just gave an impromptu performance on a bus, as part of a new Grammy campaign called “Music Unleashes Us.” The famous artists performed their 2013 hit “Can't Hold Us” in front of a bewildered group of passengers.

The video shows the singers getting on the bus with their hoods pulled up, only to break out a boombox and then start singing. People start clapping, singing along, smiling and filming on their phones, as Lewis begins throwing around paper towels.

Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis are nominated for seven Grammy Awards in categories such as Best New Artist, song of the Year and Album of the Year.

They will be also taking the stage during the night of the awards alongside Daft Punk, Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar among others.
