11/23 Thanksgiving Hip-Hop Playlist

The holiday season always reminds us of home. For me, home is Boston- gritty, filled with tension, and somehow, still beautiful. Hip hop music from Beanz has always struck me with a certain uniqueness- mixing raw street observations with calming, provocative introspection. The below list is a little thanksgiving treat from some of my favorite Boston artists. I know my Boston friends may have a little bit of criticism regarding my picks, but this is just a small dish of some of my favorites. Enjoy…

“Hurry Up” Jacques LaROQ f/ K-the-i???
“Now You’re Mine” Gangstarr
“Farmhand” Mr. Lif
“Hellboud” The Almighty RSO
“Gunz Still” Edo. G
“Woman” Akrobatik
“Slicin’ Your Wrists” Virtuoso
“Common SHIT-Talkin” OptimisGFN
“Down the Backstreets” Guru
“My Advice 2 You” Gangstarr

Also, be sure to check out Cali-native Red Fox’s new album “Waking Dreams”. It’s too dope!
