Sinthesis Movement 4:6 Raincloud Records Street: 10.31 Sinthesis = Deep Puddle Dynamics + Red Hot Chili Peppers The vibrant underground hip-hop scenes of the east and west coasts have slowly permeated into the North American interior, sadly Utah has yet to learn from its Midwestern contemporaries how to foster an inclusive hip-hop community.
