Lightfoot Beats Interview w/ LFOD

Lightfoot Beats x LFOD – From the vaults! On October 25th, 2019 the Hipstory homies took over the MFA Boston for the Hipstoric Night at The Museum II. What a night! I believe the final head count was over 1,000 people. It was not too long ago that hip-hop was struggling to find venues in Boston. Very excited to get back to the momentum that was rolling pre-pandemic…

We were able to sit down with a few of the artists who performed that night. Our interviews with Loman & Stiggity Stackz are embedded below, but right now we’re partying with Lightfoot. This night was a party indeed, but we caught up with him shortly after his *third* set of the night. You see the coffee…it’s probably 10pm at the earliest. Great convo – we talked in depth about his process & philosophy regarding art and why Rilla Force is the best producer ever, with lots of laughs in between.

What’s Lightfoot been up to in the meantime? Well, he drops new music almost daily on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter… wherever you want to hear it. He just released a new album, Camp 4 at the top of the year, as well. And there’s most definitely more to come. Stay tuned.

We’d love to hear from you, too – Comment below, on IG, Twitter, or send us an e-mail. Whatever works!

LFOD DAY!

Alright, it’s time to see what these digital concerts are hitting for… We’re excited to announce our first lineup & what’s shaping up to be an exciting evening.

June 3rd is 6/03, 603 is the NH area code, and NH is where Live Free or Die (LFOD) began. So every year, we like to celebrate. We’ve had barbecues, raffles, exclusive gear, etc but this is the first concert! We’ll be broadcasting right from LFODDay.com or you could tune in on the platform of your choice (YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, etc).

Not only are we fans of these artists, but we’ve interviewed all of them over the past few years, as well. Lightfoot’s is actually still unreleased (stay tuned), but you can learn a lot about him right on his Instagram. Get familiar via the links below:

Pop in and vibe out! Hear new music, make new friends, maybe win some merch… who knows what’ll happen. It’s live! These can be tough to keep track of, so we’d recommend setting a reminder in your phone now.

See you on the 3rd!

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.
