You don't meet too many rapper types in the skiing community, and you definitely won't meet anybody with a sound like this kid. Matt Fry, who goes under the stage name of The Philosofist, spent the winter of 2009-2010 as an intern and athlete for us on location in Lake Tahoe.

Apparently there's been a bit of buzz around this mixtape, so I would get it now. You'll finally be able to tell the hipsters, "I heard it first."
