Inside the Clifton studi space of a growing consdiuos hip-hop collective
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — On practice night, it’s not hard to find The Higher Concept’s home recording studio in Clifton. Dull thudding emanates from the garage. The screen door bangs open and closed as people go in and out. In the yellow light of the sparsely decorated kitchen, a slender African-American woman and her companion stand and chat with passersby.
“This ia Rhya , she just finished a session with us,” says Mike Cash, the rap group’s producer-guitarist. “She’s got a sort of Rihanna thing going on.”
Downstairs in the smoke-filled studio, the scene is chaotic. It’s hard to tell at first who’s making music and who’s just hanging out. A Sri Lankan gal scampers around in flip-flops, first asking to sing into the microphone, then leaving, then returning with a small video camera and shooting footage. A well-dressed dude in a leather jacket and black ball cap thumbs away at his Sidekick.
This melting pot is the hub of a musical scene that will be in full view July 11 at Martini Red, when The Higher Concept (aka THC) joins indie hip-hop artist Scott James and other acts for a live show. All of the people on the bill deserve attention, but the twentysomethings in THC have something different going on.
