Recently Medford High’s own Rafael Moure-Punnet released a new CD with his rap group the CCC. The songs are all vastly different from one another, many using samples from songs made 30 years ago. The CD is mixed entirely at a home studio, where it was also recorded. The CD includes 13 tracks and includes two tracks with backup vocals from the talented senior vocalist Linda Morose.
The raps are nothing short of impressive, using a myriad of both meter and rhyme. And this duo is definitely not your average high school rap group. They mention many wrongs in the world that need to be addressed; mainly the overpopulation of rappers who are untruthful about their activities.
The song “Music Hustle” is about the struggle to create, perform, and record music. It shows how hard the group works to make the music they love. Though this CD is definitely not for young children, it certainly is a talented profile of a senior performer at Medford high school.
