After going on hiatus in 2023, one of Vermont\u2019s most successful hip-hop exports, 99 Neighbors<\/a><\/strong>, has largely transitioned into operating as an indie record label. On it, former members conswank<\/a><\/strong>, maari<\/a><\/strong>, Nadia Nygaard-Ostby<\/a><\/strong> and HANKNATIVE<\/a><\/strong> have all dropped new solo music since the Green Mountain collective took a step back.<\/p>\n

Now the band\u2019s producer and instrumentalist, Julian Segar-Reid<\/strong>, aka Anteneh<\/a><\/strong>, has released a new solo record. Written, recorded and produced entirely in Anteneh\u2019s garage studio in Burlington\u2019s Old North End, IT WAS YOU<\/em> wades into indie-soul, new wave, and R&B terrain. Former bandmate maari and Florida rapper Wahid<\/a><\/strong> lend some bars to the slow-burn track \u201cfossils.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anteneh has also dropped a music video for the single \u201cjoy, deferred.\u201d A moody clip filmed in a fog-filled attic, the tune shows off his melodic range and evocative, genre-blending songwriting. Find the video on YouTube and IT WAS YOU<\/em> on major streaming services.<\/p>\n

Burlington\u2019s Mavstar<\/a><\/strong> has teamed up with Ferrisburgh-via-Brooklyn MC Boxguts<\/a><\/strong> and fellow 802 rep DJ<\/strong> Kanga<\/strong><\/a> on the rather spicy \u201cBerzerkers.\u201d The two rappers trade bars over a skittering beat and subtle waves of synth pads, and Kanga mans the decks. The track was all mixed and mastered by Burlington producer SkySplitterInk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The duo released a suitably Vermonty hip-hop-esque music video to accompany it. Mavstar and Boxguts mean-mug the camera while they rap in snow-covered woods. No one is colder than Vermont MCs!<\/p>\n
