One of Boston’s premier indie music labels, CommonWealth Records, is set to release another in a long line of monumental hip-hop records, A Boston State of Mind. The 18-track compilation showcases the most noted emcees from Boston’s hip-hop scene and beyond who have joined CommonWealth to show heads that Beantown is a force to reckon with when it comes to hip-hop.

A Boston State of Mind features all exclusive tracks and appearances from the Boston’s finest, such as, Slaine (La Coka Nostra, Special Teams), K.T, Termanology, Mic Stylz, Ripshop, Akrobatik, Esoteric, Masta Ace, Bomshot, Agallah “The Don Bishop”, DL, Bawston Strangla, QStrange and more. In fact, the compilation’s first 5 singles have peaked in the top five on the Rappattacklives Top 30 College Radio charts. Production is shared by DJ Lethal (House of Pain, La Coka Nostra, Limp Bizkit), D-Tension (Termanology, Mr Lif, Akrobatik), Ez-Elpee (Mobb Deep, Raekwon), Scratchizm Productions (Dre Robinson) and more.

A Boston State of Mind is that rare landmark project in that every artist contributed a track just for the record to show their support for a city with some of the most talented, but underrated-until-now hip-hop emcees and producers in the country.
