The Phoenix declares Mattapan man a rapper's delight

Chris Faraone interviews Singapore Kane, who says he's the best rapper in Mattapan:

... "I stand out for a few reasons," he says. "I don't really consider myself a street dude, but you can look me in the eyes and see that I got stabbed right in my face. I've seen someone get shot a couple of times, and it's something that will give you nightmares. Rappers need to stop glorifying bullshit and tell both sides of the story. If you talk about selling drugs, then you have to talk about going to jail." ...

But is Mattapan too old school? Maybe it's time to make way for Roslindale.
