Year-End Boston Rap Round-Up, Plus 5 Local Hip-Hop Happenings that we Stupidly Missed in 2009
By Chris Faraone

It’s amazing how much hate mail I receive accusing me of ignoring local artists. Most hilarious is this ass on Facebook who recently bitched that I “write about the same people over and over.” He might have a solid point, if in the past year alone I didn’t pay significant attention to: Esoteric, Black Madeen, Bad Rabbits, Singapore Kane, Slaine, Boycott Blues, DJ Slim, JDO, M-Dot, Masspike Miles, D-Tension, The Berklee J Dilla Ensemble, Jaysaun, Will C, Amadeus, Rite Hook, WMS the Sultan, GWOP Gang, Wasted Talent, The Dunnas, Dawaun Parker, RADIx, Mr.

Sweet New Macrotones Video for "Book It"
By Chris Faraone

I wrote this profile of the Boston-based afro-funk-and-so-much-more 11-piece The Macrotones a few months back, and have been checking for them since. As such, The Phoenix is excited to premier the sweet ass video for the band's track "Book It!" Directed by Brandin Tumeinski and shot in Allston, we bet you likey.

Although the MACROTONES aren't niche snobs who get aggravated with the “world music” label often thrust upon them, vague pigeonholes hardly do justice to this...
