Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Cerebral, meditative jazzed-out rap from a singular universe of the underground/overground. FKA milo & Scallop Hotel, Ferreira’s crafted a shifting network of self-mythologizing cipher and esoteric boom-psych - ain’t nothing quite like it FFO: Quelle Chris, Armand Hammer, Digable Planets."

R.A.P. FERREIRA • www.afrolab9000.bandcamp.com
R.A.P. Ferreira fka milo aka scallops hotel is an mc, producer and theorist working in the Black arts tradition commonly categorized as rap. Having founded the label ruby yacht in 2015 and since releasing all of his music through this channel, Ferreira has earned a sizable following within independent hip hop by rigorous, constant touring and an elevated, explorational style of performance. He is known for an uncompromised, utopic flow that speaks directly to the root of the listener.
By 2018, the young artist galvanized his presence in the American rap scene with the opening of Soulfolks Records & Tapes in Biddeford, Maine. Ferreira has a sprawling, limitless catalog ranging years, names, geographies, intentions, collaborations, and vocabularies.
In an era defined by keyword search, soundbyte, cosign, marketing and virality this artist’s work stands out by not cow tailing to the movements and trends of the digital sphere.
He currently makes his home in Nashville, Tennessee where he continues to helm the Ruby Yacht while studying to become a blues guitar legend and a farmer.
