Sam & Somba - The South Cove EP

"An EP put together over the past 2 months brought to you by Sam Paulino and Caleb Hoh." That is, honestly, about all I know about this project -- that, and the fact it's really damn good. This is an intricate & interesting headphone trip, with the beats on chill and the bars on point.

The rest of his Soundcloud is worth exploring, too - his recent single "Diablo" is impressive stuff. He's also got a track with Seven Daysies nominee Hank Collins, another new name on the come up.

Always dope to see young talent making their own scene. It is reassuring to know that no matter how much old grumpy woodchucks like myself haggle about the history, the future of Vermont hip hop is already out of our hands. Let's get this crew some more gigs this summer, yeah?
