Sound On: Hip-hop collective Van Buren live in concert

WBUR CitySpace, Boston

Sound On is a concert series highlighting rising local musicians. Artists run the gamut from fresh faces new on the scene and experiencing a meteoric rise, to tried-and-true musicians who’ve been around for decades and are creating their most resonant work to date. Mostimportantly, the musicians featured in the series are producing excellent, original and compelling work — right in Boston’s own backyard.

Join us for a performance by Van Buren. The hip-hop collective hailing from Brockton, MA, is charting new terrain. Some refer to VB as the rap game’s best kept secret, but like most good things, the collective of talented emcees are now starting to blow up on the scene. VB’s electric debut album, “Bad For Press,” offers something for everyone from the innovative collective that orbits a formalist, no-frills approach.
