Boston’s Mind Flex collective returns with “Gunpowder”, a simmering, cerebral cipher that doesn’t just flex lyrical skill—it strikes flint. Featuring chace., Francois Octave, and ramon., this track blends conscious hip-hop with alternative edge, threading together verses that smolder with grit and insight.
The beat is sparse but heavy, riding a minimalist bassline and moody percussion that leaves room for every word to land with precision. It’s a slow detonation—each emcee building intensity with distinct cadence and clarity, their bars laced with introspection, defiance, and undeniable chemistry.
Francois Octave’s verse is especially sharp, mixing personal stakes with social commentary. chace. and ramon. follow with performances that feel raw and urgent, proving this isn’t just an exhibition—it’s a message. From poetic flourishes to street-level truths, the writing is deliberate and well-balanced.
This isn’t background music. “Gunpowder” is headphone hip-hop made to spark thought. Now live on our Waffle Rhythms playlist, this track marks another standout from a label clearly on the rise.
