R.A.P. Ferreira: Superior Healing Style Tour

Chicago-born, Maine-bred, and Nashville-based, the artist formerly known as milo exists on no earthly plane. The mc, producer, poet, and theorist, R.A.P. Ferreira is one of the world’s foremost practitioners of the Black art tradition commonly categorized as rap.

Sublimation compels the artist to beauty. Even the worker trafficking in ugly does so because they find the truth of the unattractive to be most gorgeous of all. As kindness becomes antiquated and paranoia the normal operating procedure, an art form as indulgent as rap can seem tasteless. Rap requires electricity, speakers, cables, stands, a table, lights, protection from the elements, an audience with at least one dollar. Rap grew with excess and is built from sampling buffet plates of perfection. The styles no longer ring free.

His ambitions are an ever widening vocabulary, a full gas tank, the next tour’s itinerary.
R.A.P. Ferreira will rap forever.
