Ferreira and Segal Release New Hip-Hop Collaboration

R.A.P. Ferreira and Kenny Segal have released their sixth collaborative album, The Night Green Side of It. The project explores themes of family, history, and compassion, set against a backdrop of old-school beats and jazzy samples.

Kenny Segal’s Production

Kenny Segal’s production credits continue to grow, notably including the acclaimed 2023 release Maps with Billy Woods. He has also produced Benjamin Booker’s Lower earlier in 2025. Segal’s approach on The Night Green Side of It emphasizes simple melodies that allow Ferreira’s lyrics space to resonate.

R.A.P. Ferreira’s Poetic Style

R.A.P. Ferreira’s career has been marked by a wealth of cosmic poetry since the early 2010s. He is known for his deep references to past influences, as demonstrated on Bob’s Son, a tribute to Bob Kaufman’s Abomunist Manifesto. On “spicer and i,” Ferreira incorporates a sample from Jack Spicer, a celebrated voice of the San Francisco Renaissance, before delivering his own verse.

Notable Tracks

“blood quantum” features ELDON, a British rapper whose textural style complements Ferreira’s complex rhymes. The track incorporates a sample and a striking saxophone riff. The album also includes “defense attorney,” a poignant reflection on global crises, featuring evocative instrumentation and Ferreira’s raw lyrics.

A Look Back and Forward

The album concludes with an unlisted track featuring earlier recordings of Ferreira as Milo, offering a reflective conversation between his past and present selves. The Night Green Side of It is a grounded and expansive project.
