# 99 Neighbors

99 Neighbors is an American music group formed in Burlington, Vermont. It consists of seven members: Connor "Swank" Stankevich, Hank "HANKNATIVE" Collins, Sam Paulino, Nadia Nygaard, Julian "Anteneh" Segar-Reid, Caleb "Somba" Hoh, and Jared Fier. The members comprise singers, rappers, and producers. Its music – a combination of hip hop, jazz, rock, and R&B influences – has drawn comparisons to Odd Future and Brockhampton.

## History

Members Nygaard, Paulino, and Collins graduated from South Burlington High School in South Burlington, Vermont. Paulino and Collins played on their high school's football and lacrosse teams together. After graduating from high school, Paulino and Collins shared an apartment in Burlington, where they began recording and producing music full-time collectively. Hoh and Segar-Reid grew up together in Burlington. After discovering they lived near one another, Paulino contacted Hoh about a collaborative opportunity using SoundCloud and formed a group. Calhoun Rawlings, then a Brother in law to Caleb Hoh (Samba,) married Hoh's Older Sister; would later befriend and manage the group as they booked shows and had friends in common. It is noted that around the time the group was formed the South End of Burlington Vermont despite Urban Renewal and upheaval, was a hotbed for the arts and Indie music. Other notable acts and groups that came from this time include Burlington's own Hanknative, Rapper Ricky Worthen, Gunnar Schumacher (Bro Safari), DJ Black Box, Broseph Stalin, and the Musical duo Brookly Hickey to name just a few. This Arts scene was primarily the Queen cities Old North End District as well as The South End in part to the venues Higher Ground, The Patrick Gymnasium, Arts Riot, and Indie or DIY venues such as The Lip & Jim's Basement.
