All my fav rappers are dead or cancelled except for Milo aka R.A.P Ferreira a.k.a. Scallops Hotel (and also Open Mike Eagle but this is a milo post)

I've been listening to his music for like 15 years now and it's really amazing to look back on b/c I grew up and transitioned from adolescence to post-adulthood along basically the same path as he did in his music over that timespan

If you ask me or someone who's really into his music you would be told that it's a completely different echelon of creativity and poetry than can be found basically anywhere else in the history of music. If you asked most folks they would just say "yeah it's alright". It takes a kind of special connection w/ the lyrics and reflection on self and self-growth to vibe w/ it but it's like the musical form of a zen koan. Every track is like a puzzle that I solve more of on the occasional listen even now and that I gain new perspectives and insights about my inner self and demons and victories in.

Anyway here's some videos

1) all around probably one of my fav milo tracks:

2) a recent-ish track in this post-joy globalized-weltschmerz style I'm feeling lately

3) a topically immature and undeveloped 9 year old track except it's hella good and uses a dope track by baths as a beat

4) An exploratory side project that I miss

5) A song you'll really dig if youve studied philosophy

6) A super cool and well animated vid/song

7) A really freakin rad side project w/ ELUCID that unfortunately probably isnt getting another album

I've been teaching myself how to use a beat sequencer for GBA for the last 2 days so that I can make music for the videogame I'm making and the results are goin pretty well considering I have no experience making music

this was good

I don't remember who or where on the forums it happened, could have even been you ITT, but some goon posted about Milo and I started looking into it and really only started listening to his stuff in the last year. just a week or two ago I found out he goes by R.A.P. Ferreira now. I also never really look up how much my records are worth, because I own them to listen to and wouldn't consider selling most of them. I listen to wildly unpopular music too. you planning on cashing out on those? how is your cat doing?

I found out AJJ is coming to town with Open Mike Eagle so, that should be loving awesome. only just started listening to AJJ recently too, but it's been hitting right

That's rad! I'm jealous of that show. No I am keeping this records but I gave most of the rest of my collection away. Oz is doing really well!! He almost never leaves my side and just wants to cuddle with my arm all day :3:
