Critically acclaimed Boston based rapper-producer-DJ-historian Edan released his first LP on Lewis Recordings in 2002 garnering interest from both rock and hip-hop circles first in the UK, then later in his native US. The debut, entitled Primitive Plus, introduced Edan's unique and irreverent take on hip-hop's past. His next album Beauty and the Beat was widely considered a creative leap forward, and saw Edan convincingly incorporating elements of 60's psychedelia. Both albums were showered with praise, cementing Edan's reputation as one of the most daring and adventurous artists in modern day hip-hop.
