Today I got to enjoy one of those moments where I stopped everything I was doing to see who I was listening to.

Terence Ryan? Why did that sound familiar? Who the hell is this kid?

Terence Ryan. T. Ryan. “That July.” AHA. Got it, people, one of the first posts we ever wrote.

Terence Ryan proudly represents the south shore, a few towns over from mine outside of Boston; And like a lot of artists who are repping Mass these days (Sammy Adams, Aer, The Dean’s List), this rising hip hop talent contributes to my belief that Boston is once again becoming a legitimate contender as a musical hub.

“Alan’s Right” cannot simply be categorized as hip hop because Terence beautifully incorporates strings, with a flowing, soulful production that allude to some indie roots. The track was written, produced, and engineered by this young musician, who then grabbed Ryan Sheetz Media to illustrate it in the most impressive way possible; The professionalism portrayed through the video screams “look at how talented I am” in an impressively understated way - quite honestly leaving me wanting more.

If you can’t tell, this is a must download. Skeleton EP coming soon…

And now that you’ve watched it seven times, “What is the feeling?” What is the feeling…

Become a fan of Terence Owen and Fresh Musikk.
