This is what I live for. This is what I am dying for the love of. Yahweh.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Boston, a native of the Roxbury/Dorchester areas emerged from the front steps of his Roxbury slum, bore a hole into the local hip-hop scene when he decided to become a DJ and raise up local talent, something hed not seen done before. "I got to the hearts of the people around me by rhyming" says Boston, which transformed his ability of expression to freestyling and distracting on-lookers from noticing the true shy inner persona of himself. The overwhelming response from onlookers is what led Boston to believe he had something to say that the people wanted and needed to hear.
He has been deeply involved in the national service movement and through civic engagement Mike became a role model for young people. He has been a spokesperson for multiple non-profit organizations from New York City to Soweto, South Africa where he accompanied President Bill Clinton and President Nelson Mandela on a fact-finding mission.
The Music
Boston has been putting people on their feet for years. He honed his skills in the belly of the beast and at first chance, started a recording studio where young people could hear and create powerful messages through rap. "Weve got to get in a position to give young people a chance to express themselves in more creative ways and create a common ground. Art is so important for that."
Boston recently completed his latest mixtape "BitterSweet" , an all original mixtape. Mr. Boston is set to release the project in January of 2015.
