Rugs is the debut EP from Philadelphia's Sam Greens. Known for his production contributions to several acclaimed releases (including Naeem/Spank Rock's Startisha LP), the five-track offering showcases his quirky, recognizable style with guest features from Moon Bounce and Jonah Baseball. An interactive website was created for lead single, "Soft Rugs" where you create line drawings that come to life in response to the music.
The Line Of Best Fit Sam Greens Debuts Joyous Single "Soft Rugs" & Accompanying Interactive Website
"Perhaps it's no surprise given Greens' diverse production background - including work with Rome Fortune, and Philadelphia artists Neef, Peedi Crakk, and Young Chris - that “Soft Rugs” pulls threads from multiple genres to produce a composite that, like, really ties the room together, man. Hip-hop shouts and jazzy touches are matched to an erratic, exploratory beat that never stays in one place too long. It moves with the singular purpose of lifting the listener up"
XLR8R Sam Greens "Annuals (feat. Moon Bounce)"
"[Sam Greens'] production has blossomed into a full-fledged pageant of unconventionally slinky electronic beats with a modern R&B leaning"
