R.A.P. Ferreira

R.A.P. Ferreira fka milo, aka scallops hotel, is an mc, producer and theorist working in the Black arts tradition commonly categorized as rap. Having founded the label ruby yacht in 2015 and since releasing all of his music through this channel, Ferreira has earned a sizable following within independent hip hop by rigorous, constant touring and an elevated, explorational performance style. He is known for an uncompromised, utopic flow that speaks directly to the root of the listener. 

By 2018, the young artist galvanized his presence in the American rap scene with the opening of Soulfolks Records & Tapes in Biddeford, Maine. Ferreira has a sprawling, limitless catalog ranging in years, names, geographies, intentions, collaborations, and vocabularies.

AJ Suede

Known for his psychedelic amalgamation of East Coast and Northwest sounds, Seattle-based rapper/producer AJ Suede has carved a lane of his own. With a prolific discography of over 40 projects, he shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. He has shared the stage with Lil Uzi Vert, Xavier Wulf, R.A.P. Ferreira, Marc Rebillet and many more. With features in outlets like SPIN, The Seattle Times, KEXP, Okayplayer and Lyrical Lemonade, just to name a few.
