As the music industry continues to evolve with the digital era, more and more independent artist like Boston Fame, are beginning to surface into the hip-hop scene. After releasing his latest project, COAP Vol. 2, Fame established a larger fan base that later helped to push major singles like “So Fly,” and “Tom Brady.” Along with making radio singles, Fame tends to focus on relating to his listeners. In his records, you’ll find many personal stories about struggle, success, and love. Keep your eyes on this MC, he doesn’t seem to be stopping his grind anytime soon.
Tell me about your story. When did you start doing music?
Started getting into music around the age of six. My stepdad would always play artists like Snoop Dogg, Biggie, and 2pac. So yea it’s pretty obvious that I was very much West Coast influenced. When I was 15, I got kicked out the house. Luckily, I was able to start recording at a community college in my city. Later after that I started “Powerhouse Movement.”
What is the significance behind your name?
When I first started recording, people would call me “Famous.” They would tell me about how they knew I would go somewhere in life. They recognized my skills and that’s what made me want to stick with that name. Later on, I felt it was only right to represent where I’m from. That’s when I changed the name to “Boston Fame.”
Tell us about your latest project, as well as any upcoming projects
Recently, I dropped a video titled “So Fly,” and a song titled “Tom Brady,” on my Soundcloud. As far as projects, the last one I released was COAP Vol. 2. This is by the far the dopest piece of work I’ve ever dropped. If you want to keep up with all my projects, get my music app on your phone. Just type in “Boston Fame” on your app store.
What musicians/artist have helped influence your type of musical style?
I would have to say 2Pac, Jadakiss, Lil Wayne, Wale, J.Cole, and Drake.
Are there artist you would love to work with right now?
I’d love to make a record with Wale. Would have to do a record for the ladies.
What types of tracks do you prefer to make most?
The tracks that are really focused on the personal situations in my life are my preferred records. It comes more naturally.
Tell me more about your A3C performance at this year’s festival
I perform Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
Where do you see yourself in the next few years?
In the next few years, I see myself at least making money from tours on the road.
Any advice for other upcoming artist?
My main advice is to get a good manager and marketing team. Also, the time that you put in creating your music should be equal to the time you put into promoting it.
How important do you think the A3C Festival is for the hip-hop community?
It is important because there aren’t too many festivals that cater to the hip-hop community. It also brings out such a mixture of individuals in one area. It’s all about networking and learning through people and experiences. This is the second biggest festival that I have performed at, and I’m nothing but anxious. - A3C written by Tyler Mason
Boston Fame pays Homage and respect to New England's hero and living legend Tom Brady with a tribute song titled "Tom Brady". The record was produced by Dj Fanatic. It was mixed and mastered at Paragon Mixing - Hip Hop Since 1987

Bio
Boston Fame was born in Roxbury the heart of Boston, Massachusetts. He fell in love with Hip Hop at the age of 6. He grew up listening to 2 Pac Biggie and Snoop Dog with his step father. He wrote his first rhyme at the age of 11 and hasn't stopped perfecting his craft since!Growing up in one of the roughest areas of Boston (Roxbury Ma), Fame got involved in the streets at an early age. He was always trying to pursue his music endeavors but his love for the streets always made it a counter productive effort. Raised solely by his Mother Fame became uncontrollable and was kicked out at the age of 15. He was in the streets making a living off selling drugs and ended up in jail at 17. Fame was accustomed to that revolving door until he had an epiphany and finally made up his mind to solely focus on music.
After giving the system 6 years and 4 Mixtapes later Fame is ready for the spotlight and spitting doper than ever! He dropped "Chronicles of a Pilgrim" in 2014 and released three videos off the project. "Imagine" was the town favorite. He followed that project up with COAP vol II in March 2015 demanding the City's attention with visual hits like "Fly" and "Dear Eddie Ware" (a letter to the father he never knew)
This summer he released "So Fly" a street smash! It is currently on over 30 blogs sites. At the beginning of this football season he released another single title "Tom Brady" and it received over 150,000 plays in 4 days on sound cloud.
Boston Fame is putting his all into his music right now and is relentlessly going for his success. He is at a place in his life where he just wants to make great music. He aims to motivate encourage and inspire via song. He loves his city and is positioning himself to put Boston back in a realm of relevance. He is the artist to watch out for right now!
