In collaboration with Boston’s hip-hop ambassadors, STL GLD
The members of indie hop-hop group STL GLD are some of Boston’s most important, dynamic, and thoughtful artists. As MC of the group, Moe Pope was named “Live Artist of the Year” at the 2018 Boston Music Awards, and STL GLD was named “Boston's Best Band” by the Improper Bostonian. The parallels between classical music and hip-hop are real: the practice of re-interpreting source material, the importance of poetry and text, and the difficult truth that many of the forms’ greatest achievements have been the product of adversity and suffering. This collaboration will tease these themes out into the open.
