Sun Cut Flat Music

Sun Cut Flat is an American self-produced multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and recording artist born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Cambridge, MA. SCF returned to NYC in 2014 and has been making a name for himself there since, known as a magnetic though often reclusive independent artist working within the spaces of alternative pop, hip hop, and r&b.

Sun Cut Flat created the recording project Family Tapes in 2020, a project which has highlighted an eclectic mix of contributing artists. The name comes from the nostalgic feeling of opening a box of long-lost VHS cassettes, conjuring static filled memories of loved ones, family, and friends.

Since its formation, Family Tapes has explored the diverse sonic spaces of bedroom indiepop, 60's soul, and most recently 90's inspired golden-era boom bap/ conscious rap. Following up the cherished three-vol. series Hip Hop Sovereignty, Family Tapes released the 15-track album Nico in early 2026. The album is an ode to the golden era of hip hop.
