What time is it? Showtime!

A group of New Yorkers just had pretty much the coolest commute ever. Why? Hip-hop artists Macklemore and Ryan Lewis hopped on their bus and performed “Can’t Hold Us,” a hit off their monstrously successful debut studio album The Heist.

The passengers, bemused at first, were quickly won over once they realized who was performing.

The surprise rendition was a promotional stunt for The Grammys, where the duo will perform Jan. 26. They’re also in the running for seven awards, including album of the year and song of the year.
