Milton rapper’s “State of Grace”

Milton native Nat Anglin has released a music video about Boston and its spirit. THe Dorchester Reporter profiles Nat and the piece. They report, “Nat Anglin, a 28-year-old rapper who performs as “Natural,” long ago made the streets of Boston his musical muse. His songs and videos are liberally laced with B-caps and big-ups to Big Papi. Natural belongs to a school of homegrown MCs who rep Boston with conscious abandon – knowing full well that such boosterism could stymie some national break-out moment.”

Naturally, the Board of Selectmen, who are reportedly growing beards in solidarity with the team, scheduled a meeting for this evening to discuss a report from the Department of Revenue. Nice timing.
