Fameless Fam: Making Moves Outside of Boston’s Crab Bucket (Profile + Audio)
Posted on July 2, 2010 by Chris Faraone
Halfway through my interview with the Allston-based alt-hop collective Fameless Fam about their upcoming showcase at Wonder Bar this Tuesday, Will from the posse’s glitch-minded duo Time Crisis mentions that he went to high school in Pittsburgh with rising rap sensation Wiz Khalifa. Will isn’t boasting or blasting his former classmate — he’s just naming heads who rep the Western Pennsylvania scene that schooled him. But what’s interesting is that tonight is the first time he’s ever mentioned this to all his crew members.
Although I doubt that any of these guys went to kindergarten with the Game, that wouldn’t constitute bragging rights around the Fameless compound either. Social as they may be when ripping house parties, these guys are tortured æsthetic snobs, as misfit at their schools as they are in a genre that’s mired in cliché and virtually devoid of metacognitive perspective. Made up of bright young cats with eclectic palettes, Fameless hover miles above the pine box that suffocates so many artists. Indeed, they’re the products of El-P’s LPs, Lif’s life, Del’s delights, and Aesop Rock’s fables.
