R.A.P. Ferreira

Chicago-born rapper Rory Allen Philip Ferreira, aka R.A.P. Ferreira, has gone by a handful monikers over the years: Milo, Scallops Hotel, Black Orpheus. Yet, he's remained constant with his artfully crafted lyrical flow and a sound that has never pandered to trends. In fact, he has been a considerable influence in the alternative rap scene. Since getting his start, Ferreira has started his own label (Ruby Yacht), opened a record store (Soulfolks Records & Tapes in Biddeford, Maine), and has charted on Billboard’s Hot 100 — all while staying true to his experimental roots. Following the release of Ferreira’s latest album, Purple Moonlight Pages on March 6 (the first album as R.A.P. Ferreira), he takes to the road, stopping at Spirit with alternative-rapper Kaila Chare.
