Heath240: Boston's Hometown Hero

Heath240, born and raised in Jamaica Plain is starting to create a buzz around Boston.  Heath started rapping in his sophomore year of high school which was a time in his life where he was “wildin out”. Heath told me “multiple things and people inspired me to make music.”  He said, “as musical influences go Andre 3000, Kanye and Chance the Rapper have all been a major influence on me creating music.” Heath commented on how each of those artists has unique and individual sounds.  A personal mentor to Heath is the late Brother Ox. Heath mentioned how “Brother Ox pushed me to be expressive and creative when I didn’t have any inspiration.” Through this motivation and hard work, Heath has released songs such as OFF IT, 24K (Rose Gold), and L.A. which have combined for over 22,000 streams on SoundCloud.  
Recently Heath has been earning more opportunities throughout the country as he was able to travel to Chicago to work with one hip-hops elite producers Supa Bwe. During his time in Chicago, Heath and Supa Bwe made the song 24K (Rose Gold) which is Heath’s most streamed song on SoundCloud. Supa Bwe is known to have worked with artists such as Chance the Rapper and Lil Yachty. Heath240 also has another great opportunity when he is an opening act for Nessly when he comes to the Middle East Downstairs on July 13th.
 When listening to Heath’s music you notice his unique voice and sound in each song.  When asked how he feels his music stands out against other Boston artists is “I have a unique sound to my voice and I pick a more upbeat production.  A lot of rappers now just rap on trap beats but I’m starting to break the mold.” He said you will see a lot of this on his upcoming project which is coming soon.      
Heath240 journey to fame has just begun and he will soon be making noise around the country once his new project drops and continues to grind with big names in rap.  The future for Heath240 is bright and I am excited to see what is in store for Heath in the near future. Make sure to check out his music on any of the major streaming platforms.

P.A.

1. When did you start to make music? I always wanted to pursue music but I did not know how to. I really started about six months ago.  2. What/who inspired you to make music? It started off with me and a couple of friends recording shitty freestyles as a joke and we would just uploading them to soundcloud. The songs somehow got a lot of views and people were liking it so I said screw it let me take this a bit more serious. 3. What is the biggest opportunity you have earned/received in music so far?  My biggest opportunity was probably the Longlivehshawn x Fajita performance. Before that I was not really sure what I wanted to get out of this music thing but after the show I decided I wanted to really take this music thing seriously 4. How does your music stand out compared to other artists?  My music is very unique because of my flow versatility and melody game. I am able to combine my soft voice to hard melodic trap beats. I think I am perfect for today's hi

Since then he has had some amazing opportunities, Diz mentioned “ my group Illegal Advisory we played a sold out show at the Middle East Downstairs, but even more important than that to me is being able to explore my own sound.
