#ben fm

Hey all, an independent creator here who wants to share with you. This EP that I made with Ben FM that tells the story of a cab ride is now out on cassette, and comes in a cardboard sleeve that can transform into a taxi. My partner made a companion colouring book to go with the album too. You can get it over on Bandcamp:

Ben.FM and DJ Seith's "True Taxi In Gentle Rain" opens on the dark and rainy streets of Richmond, VA, as a passenger gets into a taxi to head home.  Jazzy instrumental loops begin swirling from the car radio and the cab driver shares his experiences to pass the time.  Stories of deception, trauma, gentrification and more are woven together as the passenger encourages more from the driver.  Released on limited-run cassette with digital download code, the album comes housed in deluxe packaging that can be constructed into a papercraft taxi.  

"True Taxi In Gentle Rain" delivers a glimpse of real life through the relatable, everyman raps delivered with casual cadence by Ben.FM and the breathing soundscapes and loops crafted with care by Seith, resulting in an EP that earns its place among the classics and is more than the sum of its many moving parts.

Listen here:

"A very creative and tasteful EP.  The source material work so well together"

Ben FM’s latest album ‘TRUE TAXI’ is out now on Icy Palms Records. Produced by Profound79.
