Raptivated

Two weeks ago we threw our first show at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH. It was truly a special evening, with artists & fans coming from all over – Boston, Salem, Portland, Hudson, Dover, Manchester…Hip-Hop was in the building. STL GLDMIKE WING, Qwill, Bakari JB Music, TUSKY, and DJ Myth had the speakers knocking all evening, while rap legends immortalized by the brush of B. Cartier watched on in silent solidarity.

This was a bit of a homecoming show for us as well, with our name owing it’s origin to the great state of New Hampshire. We’ve been putting on for hip-hop in Boston, but would the seacoast be so receptive? We had high hopes and they were met across the board. It was beautiful to see the connections that were made in the audience, the energy that was exchanged, and the pure love of the art celebrated so earnestly.

We’re proud to announce that we are already planning our return to 3S. Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime: The Third Annual Alumni Cypher Series starts on Tuesday.

LFOD Radio Presents: The AR Classic Update

Last night we were joined by The Arcitype (who you may remember from past episodes with Esh & STL GLD) & Lightfoot, who just launched The Shift, a new series taking place at Mass Apparel. Every two months a featured producer will take over the store for eight hours & make a beat tape on the spot. When the shift is up, the shift is up & the tape is released immediately. Really cool concept. Next up is Billy Loman.

Listen to Lightfoot talk about The Shift below, as well as a bonus convo with Arcitype about his label, AR Classic, and recording studio, The Bridge, which has become something of a hub for New England Hip-Hop.
