Massachusetts native Hip Hop artist and filmmaker Silas Luster has delivered his latest single, moldamensions.

As part of the collective The BuLife, Silas (and crew) create music that is honest, authentic and adds a much needed layer of transparency not always present in the current state of rap music.

Prepping for the release of his solo EP (W.A.V.), Silas has unleashed his single moldamensions ahead of the March 29th release date.

With a hypnotic melody, crisp hi-hats and a head noddin’ rhythm, Silas rides the beat with confidence treating us to an attention-grabbing flow which delivers a healthy dose of lyrical substance that weaves personal ideologies and philosophies into an infectious soundscape.

If you prefer your Hip Hop with grit, authenticity and a mesmerizing groove, moldamensions should be the next addition to your playlist.

In this interview spotlight, I chat with Silas Luster about working with Spike Lee, challenges, technology, the new project and more.

Full Q&A along with links and music below.

Where are you from and what style of music do you create?

I am from Provincetown, Massachusetts. It’s very remote community at the end of the map. Land’s end.

What led you down this path of music and what motivates you to keep going?

I love to create. My mother and grandmother are painters. I went to school for filmmaking, and I love to create music. There is something inside of me that keeps pushing me to continue working on my craft. I love the process of creating.

How is “moldamensions” different than previous releases? Were you trying to accomplish anything specific?

moldamensions is special to me because it has a lot of my personal views and ideologies woven throughout the song. I love the tone of my voice on the song, I think it really helps convey the sensibilities of the lyrics.

What was it like working with Spike Lee at 40 Acres and a Mule?

It was the opportunity of a lifetime. He was, and still is one of my favorite directors. I love his personal approach. I learned a lot about filmmaking. I made lifelong friends. It really help build my foundation as an artist.

Do your experiences in film influence or crossover into your music and how you create songs?

For sure. Although both filmmaking and making music are personal to the artist/director both are team efforts. There are a lot of people that make the wheels turn. It’s important in both fields to know your role in production and understand what it takes to execute a project.

Name one or two challenges you face as an indie musician in this over saturated, digital music age? How has technology helped you (since we know it does help)?

It’s difficult, and honestly I think I would be better off in 90’s, without so much reliance on technology. I think my music speaks for itself, it’s hard as an artist to promote your music digitally with so much over saturation. I don’t want to sell you on anything. All I want is an honest ear.

What was the last song you listened to?

Schoolboy – Q Numb Numb Juice.

Where is the best place to connect with you online and discover more music?

Definitely Instagram. My handle is @AccessGrantedTV and you can follow the movement at @TheBuLife

Anything else before we sign off?

My EP entitled W.A.V is being released on Apple Music and all other streaming platforms. I will be shooting a music video for moldamensions, so look out for that too. A lot of dope work coming soon.
