Loki x Pensive x Rico James - "Good Food"

The past five years has been one of the longest continuous growth spells that Vermont hip hop has ever seen. The "Vermont Artists" list over on the right side of your screen is proof of that much; it's been a boom lately. Having lots of artists means we're going to see a lot of collaboration from here on out -- and the cross-pollination of our homegrown strains will lead to exotic new highs.

Or at least, some damn good food. LoKi and Pensive are the prime movers behind Milkhaus Records, one of the purest "art rap" outfits the 802 has ever seen. They've been making some strong additions to their catalog this year -- from the earthy Avanti! to the cosmic concept album ET to LoKi's one-day album project 0-25 (The 24hr Challenge), it's been a busy 2017.

This latest single is a collaboration with Rico James of Self Portrait. The result: the rap song about local food systems you never knew you needed. Dig it.
