BU Music Scene
If you're at Boston University and you're tired of the same five songs cycling through every pregame — this is your shortcut to actual independent music from your region. MKT is based in Milford, NH, an hour down I-93 from BU, and the catalog is built for headphones, dorm rooms, and parking-lot drives between classes.
Most "BU music" search results give you event calendars and bar listings. This page is the other half: a working independent rapper who's actually close to campus, releasing year-round, and available for student-org shows. If you run a frat, sorority, formal committee, campus radio, or you're just looking for something new to put on the aux — start here.
Pull up the full discography, or jump to New England college rap for the broader regional picture.
