La Coka Nostra-rapparen aktuell med nya albumet "The Boston Project".

I hiphop-kretsar känner många till rapparen Slaine från Boston som medlem av La Coka Nostra och Special Teamz. Senaste åren har även Slaine´s skådespelarambitioner fått en rejäl skjuts framåt med biroller i Hollywood-filmer som “Gone Baby Gone” och “The Town”, båda regisserade av ingen mindre än Ben Affleck. 2011 släppte han skivan “A World With No Skies 2.0” och nu knappt två år senare är han aktuell med nya soloplattan “The Boston Project”. Skivan har funnits tillgänglig digitalt under ett par veckors tid men släpptes idag 16:e april i fysiskt format.

Den till sommaren Sverige-aktuella rapparen (Peace & Love) reagerade med bestörtning under natten och avslöjade att hans fyra år gamla son fanns i närheten av platsen för bomberna vid Copley Square men att de ska ha klarat sig utan fysiska skador.

Albumet som han släpper idag, “The Boston Project”, en hyllning till hemstaden och på denna gästar bland annat Edo G, Twice Thou och REKS. Slaine skulle idag även ha släppt en ny musikvideo men har flyttat fram releasen av denna och skriver på Facebook:

“Today has been a very sad day in Boston. My thoughts and prayers are with the people in my community who have had their lives taken or have been badly hurt. It’s heartbreaking. I’m pretty sure most of my supporters know that I am actively involved in working in the community when I can, and supporting other artists in anyway I am able to. The Boston Project was a labor of love that I worked on with other artists from home over the past 18 months or so. I have been excited for the world to hear it, and I know a lot of these guys who are on a worldwide release for the first time are excited too. At the same time it sucks to promote a project from the community in the middle of one of the most tragic and brutal events in our city’s history. On the same day actually. I wont be putting out the new video today as planned because I didnt feel it was appropriate to put a video that is a celebration out during this time of mourning. It was impossible to move the release date of the album otherwise I would have delayed that as well. So The Boston Project is out everywhere today, but it is obviously not under the circumstances that I had envisioned for it. Stay strong Boston, and Fuck whoever the cowards are that commited this heartless act of violence on our brothers, fathers, uncles, mothers aunts, sons and daughters. They will pay for this.”
