Matt Schwartz is a local hip hop truth slayer. Through his
many releases, which are all free on his bandcamp page, he spews forth words
and phrases that more times than not spell out he’s wasted again and just
trying to make the most out of a meager life. His signature is his infectious
laugh. A short, sly giggle that clues you in he’s onto something, just
give him time.
His latest release, Uppers and Downers, is his most
accomplished album with unique beats that convey a more alternative with soul
direction. As the title suggests there are glorious highs reached with
songs like “If the World Ends Tonight At Least We Die When We’re Young” and
lows, like the loneliness dropped on “Ghost Town” which features vocals from
Charlie Beans.
Matt Schwartz plays the Berkley Front, Friday Oct. 11 with
Charlie Beans, CIDI Ent., Warren Peace, Volume, Steady P and DJ Mahf. Doors are
at 9pm.
