Night Train 357
FFO: CZARFACE, Redman, Mega Ran
Night Train 357 (pronounced “three-five-seven”) is an emcee combining wordplay and subject matter that’s not often touched upon in the Hip-Hop world. For Train, his music is about replay value. His metaphors are designed to ensure you rewind so you don’t miss a line with pop culture references, a wide range of socially conscious and personal topics, and a touch of nerd rap! He’s not trying to be cool. He’s the cure for the common cool.
