HiFadility – Say Love

Love has forever been an interesting concept. In what ways has the want of love created conflict and division? Could it be said that certain creations actually have a detrimental impact on love and harmony? How do we identify these things—those of which, present positive outlooks on love and relationships, and others that simply destroy love. Which one are you— a promoter of love and harmony or a destroyer of these things? – HiFadility Artwork by: @SNDBVX

Fountain Of Youth – Gifted Presence (Official Music Video)

Fountain of Youth. Never heard of them before but these kids are nice! Set in the back allies of Chinatown, ‘Gifted Presence’ provides an eerie visual into the Hip Hop realm that is The Fountain of Youth. Wordplay, along with dope rhymes and cinematic videography provide the tone needed to remind both local Boston MC’s and rappers abroad that we’re here; and we’re not playing.

GreyScale – Bass Keep Buzzin’ (prod. by Nomak)

New track from the homie GreyScale! “Bass Keep Buzzin’” produced by Nomak. I wrote this track back when I first started making music and its just been sitting in my rhyme book until recently. The instrumental tape “Combine” by Nomak was one of the first tapes I wrote to when I started out. The track “Doze Off” was a definite standout from the project and when I heard it I wrote the entire song in one sitting, which is a rarity for me. “Bass Keep Buzzin’” is a sincere, heartfelt ode to Boom Bap Hiphop, and the art of rhyming. I hope those who listen to it enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Download https://soundcloud.com/greyscalesound/bass-keep-buzzin-prod-by-nomak
