After decades of recording and touring, and many turbulent ups and downs, Bostonians TYPE 4 are still going strong. They've never let go of that golden age of hip-hop, still digging through vinyl for musical samples, and digging through life for lyrical stories. Tommy O'Deed & Matt Reyes make hip-hop for grownups, the old fashioned way: for the love of it. For more information check out TYPE 4 on Facebook, and listen to the music on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify!

Finally got my own copy of this regional guide to the origins of hip-hop by Mickey Hess. It's not only comprehensive and illuminating, but also happens to name-check me, as part of the '80s Lecco's Lemma crowd and as an anecdotal contributor, as conveyed by Pacey Foster @libraryofvinyl . ...well it KIND OF mentions me. Unfortunately I was just getting to know Pacey at the time, so when he sent the text to me to proofread, I just kind of mentally nodded, somehow missing that due to a phone miscommunication, I am credited as Matt "Rayes". 😀 https://www.instagram.com/p/CUL6hiMrsrg/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's now been twenty years since we lost our founder and partner and brother Brian David Cantwell. He's now been gone from us far longer than we ever knew him, but he made such a bright loud noise within his all-too-short life that his spirit still echoes in everything we do now. We miss him dearly, and hope somehow he's heard and loved all the music we've made since. https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-NI3FhcR4/?igshid=8odeeqamdr5k

Here's something I threw together for @tracklib & @9thwonder 's Beat Battle featuring the classic jazz/funk song "Nautilus" by @bobjamesmusic . I added drums, but the music and bassline are comprised entirely of about sixteen heavily-edited loops and snippets from the original Bob James song. I hope you enjoy the end result! #TrackLibBeatBattle #TrackLib #Nautilus #BobJames #9thWonder #TYPE4

Someone said something about a Nautilus Beat Battle or something? I added drums, but the music and bassline are comprised entirely of about sixteen heavily-edited loops and snippets from the original Bob James song. I wasn't really that inspired by this, as "Nautilus" is one of those songs I sampled along with everyone else back at the end of the 80s, and then moved on. But since everyone seemed to be having a go, I figured I'd embrace the challenge of finding a new way to use these old sounds, toss something together quickly, and throw my hihat into the ring. https://youtu.be/7AKUh9OzwEY #tracklibbeatbattle #TrackLib #TYPE4 #Nautilus #BobJames https://www.instagram.com/p/CLoA2zFB35-/?igshid=1bo9dkow6zyik
