While Ivy League rock stars may be a rare breed Stealth Foxx stands out as a Harvard band with bigger plans. Described by guitarist John J. “Jay” Costa, Jr. ’09 as “rock with folk and jazz pretty heavily intertwined,” the quartet has garnered a solid fan base of Harvard students and Bostonians alike. Costa and vocalist R. Derek Wetzel ’10 started jamming together while attending Boston College High School. The duo continued their artistic pursuits at Harvard, and were eventually joined by drummer...

"I can't understand a word Amadou says," Tricky admits. "But when he was rapping, he made me feel like he was saying, 'Can't you see us?' That was his vibe, and that's what I called the album." Tricky's intuition is right: on a track with the working title "Afrique," Ndiaye scream-raps "Mes frères ont souffert, bordel de merde! (My brothers have suffered, goddammit)" over...
