ITS BEEN ABOUT 4 YEARS IN THE MAKING, A LOT OF UP'S AND DOWNS IN THE PROCESS. ALSO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE HECTIC WORK SCHEDULES OF BOTH MIRAGE512 AND GLOBAL74 AND YOU HAVE A LONG BUT WORTHWHILE ROAD TO TRAVEL.
I CALLED GLOBAL74 UP ONE CHILLY NOVEMBER MORNING IN 2008 AND SAID LETS DO A E.P TOGETHER, NOTHING TOO COMPLICATED BUT LETS JUST LOCK UP FOR A MONTH AND PUT OUT WHAT WE COME UP WITH. GLOBAL WAS WITH IT SO WE HAD A COUPLE OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC WE WANTED TO CREATE WITH THIS PROJECT AND WE BOTH AGREED THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE WHAT WE CALL FOUNDATION HIP HOP THAT GOOD OLD "BOOM BAP" FROM THE EARLY AND MID 90's THAT WAS THE SOUNDTRACK TO OUR LIFE. WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT WAS A BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE DID IN OUR INDIVIDUAL MUSIC. YET WE STILL WANTED TO INJECT OUR OWN PERSONAL TOUCHES ON THIS PROJECT. I HAD JUST STARTED PRODUCING AND RECORDING MY OWN MUSIC IN MY HOUSE SO I WAS EAGER YET A BIT SHY ABOUT PUTTING OUT MY OWN BEATS BUT GLOBAL KINDA ENCOURAGED ME BY LETTING ME KNOW HOW MUCH HE LOVED THE TRACKS. SO THE PROCESS WENT ON AND PERSONAL ISSUES CAME IN NOT BAD ISSUES BUT GLOBAL IS A FAMILY MAN AND HE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH HIS WIFE, KIDS AND HOME. I HAD A FEW RELEASES THAT I PUT OUT IN THE PROCESS SO MY PROMO MUSCLE WAS BEING FOCUSED TOWARDS THOSE PROJECT. WE DECIDED THAT SINCE WE HAD PUT THE WORD OUT AND WERE GETTING A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF INTEREST IN THE PROJECT THAT WE WOULD PUT THE LITTLE BUDGET WE HAD TOWARD MAKING SOME GOOD VIDEOS TO KEEP THE INTEREST GOING SO WE MADE 2 GREAT VIDEOS AND I MADE A COUPLE OF YOUTUBE CLIPS OF OUR PERFORMANCES BUT AT LAST HERE IT IS.
