"In the early 1980s hip-hop began to explode. It left New York, up 95 North..."

After two decades, four albums, a national tour, 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.

Vocalist Tom Williams, producer Matt Reyes, and DJ Bill Ierardi make hip-hop the old-fashioned way: for the love of it. For more information check out TYPE 4 on Facebook, download their music on iTunes, and stay tuned for their new album, Written In Red, coming soon! Read more on Last.fm.
