After a year in lockdown LOOPRAT is back. “Locked in the Lab” was put together last summer and fall while social distancing and is in many ways a compilation tape from various members and smaller collaboration combinations within the group. Davie Napalm, Armani Abomb, NatKingFlo, Joey Ferber, Sojy Fatz and the Quintessential band. This is a full LOOPRAT experience, enjoy!

"How Live?" features eleven tracks from over a dozen artists rooted in the styles of jazz, hip-hop, funk, soul and spoken word. As a collective, LOOPRAT and their featured artists span the St. Louis metropolitan area, making music that bridges divides of genre and culture and taking listeners through the lows and highs of life in St. Louis. Harsh racial realities and cathartic celebrations of blues and hip-hop music are the essential duality. This project is an amalgamation of difference, a trait that the group strives to achieve in a country operating on fear and hatred.

A Hip-Hop EP that ventures through the cultural origins of the music. Through representing the elements of Hip-Hop fluidly with production, lyrics and visuals, LOOPRAT successfully achieves a gritty aesthetic while maintaining an uplifting and authentic message.
