YOU TAKE A EMCEE FROM PHILADELPHIA PA AND MOVE HIM TO AUSTIN TEXAS, THEN YOU HAVE THAT EMCEE MEET ONE OF THE CITIES FINEST EMCEES YOU TAKE A MUTUAL RESPECT FOR HIP HOP AND OLD SOUL MUSIC FROM THE CITY OF PHILLY AND THE TRADITION OF OLD BLUES INFLUENCED SOUL FROM THE SOUTH. THEN YOU HAVE THEM MEET AT A SHOW IN 2012 AND ONE YEAR LATER YOU HAVE A GREAT PARTNERSHIP THAT WILL RESULT IN A SMALL NATIONAL TOUR OF THEIR OWN ORGANIZATION AND A MIX-TAPE THAT IS QUICKLY BECOMING A CLASSIC IN MANY CIRCLES. WELL THE PHILLY EMCEE IS SIDE EFFECT AND THE AUSTIN TEXAS NATIVE IS MIRAGE512 THE MIX-TAPE IS CALLED THE UNDERGRIND AND IT IS MIXED BY WORLD FAMOUS SUPER STAR DJ MR. CREE AND YOU HAVE A HELL OF A FORMULA.
THE INDUSTRY WE CHOOSE TO OPERATE IN IS BASED ON RELATIONSHIPS AND AS AN ARTIST YOU ALWAYS WANT TO CHOOSE A RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU CAN ADD TO AND HOPEFULLY THE PEOPLE YOU PARTNER WITH WILL ADD TO YOUR MOVEMENT. MIRAGE AND SIDE ARE 2 VETERAN EMCEES THAT HAVE BEEN SURVIVING ON THE UNDERGROUND FOR MANY YEARS. THIS IS DONE BY HAVING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS. TO CONTINUE ON WITH THIS THEY ARE CONNECTING WITH ARTIST ON THE UNDERGRIND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND DOING WHAT MOST IN THE INDUSTRY CALL "SHOW SWAPPING" MEANING THEY ARE LEVERAGING THE LIVE MUSIC CAPITAL's REPUTATION FOR SHOWS ALL THE TIME. WE WANT TO HOST ARTIST FROM OTHER SCENES AND BE HOSTED BY OTHER ARTIST WHEN THEY GO TO THOSE MARKETS. THE PRINCIPLE OF RECIPROCITY IS ONE TO LIVE BY ON THE UNDERGROUND MUSIC SCENE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE MOVEMENT KNOWN THE 2 HAVE SHOT A SERIES OF UNDERGROUND VIDEOS THAT ARE GETTING A GREAT RESPONSE FROM THE SOCIAL NETWORKING COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE HIP HOP BLOGGERS THE MIXTAPE WHICH YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FOR FREE ONLINE IS GETTING A GREAT RESPONSE AS WELL BUT OF COURSE WE ARE BIASED HERE SO HERE IS ALL THE VIDEOS TO DATE AND THE LINK FOR THE FREE DOWNLOAD.

MIRAGE512 & SIDE EFFECT PARTNER FOR THE UNDERGRIND TOUR!!!!!!
YOU ALWAYS HEAR THAT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS AND NETWORKING. I THINK THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH YOU HEAR ME. SO TO LIVE UP TO THAT ADVICE I HAVE RECENTLY PARTNERED WITH A EMCEE OUT OF PHILADELPHIA PA THAT GOES BY THE NAME SIDE EFFECT, I FIRST MET SIDE AT A SHOW THAT I DID BACK IN MAY OF 2012 AND WE GOT TO TALKING AND EXCHANGED MUSIC, HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS RECENTLY MOVED FROM PHILLY TO AUSTIN SEEKING A MORE LAID BACK LIFESTYLE. SO I TOOK THE CD HOME AND IT COLLECTED DUST FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND FINALLY I PUT THE CD IN AND DAMN IT WAS BANGIN IT WAS A MIX-TAPE THAT HE DID WITH ANOTHER EMCEE CALLED "HIP HOP HOARDERS" SO I HIT HIM UP ON FACEBOOK AND LET HIM KNOW THAT I WAS FEELING HIS MUSIC AND HE WAS FEELING MY ALBUM AS WELL. FROM THERE WE LINKED UP ON A SONG CALLED LIGHTS OUT (produced by Trill Gates) FOR MY SOULHOP ERA MIX-TAPE. TO RETURN THE FAVOR I HOPED ON A REMIX FOR HIS 215 TO THE 512 SONG. WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT INDEPENDENT TOURING AND BUSINESS WE FOUND THAT WE HAD VERY SIMILAR IDEAS ON THE SUBJECT AND DECIDED THAT WE SHOULD ACTUALLY DO A SMALL ORGANIC TOUR OF CITIES AND MARKETS THAT WE HAVE STRONG CONNECTS IN. 3 MONTHS LATER THE UNDERGRIND IS BORN WITH BREMERTON / SEATTLE WASHINGTON, PHILADELPHIA (DUH) AND PHOENIX ON THE ROUTE SO FAR AND HOPEFULLY MORE LOCATIONS TO BE ADDED. IN OUR EFFORTS TO PROMOTE OUR TOUR WE HAVE RECORDED A MIX-TAPE AND MADE 2 VIDEOS.
WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD MORE LOCATIONS TO OUR TOUR AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN SHOW SWAP, OUR BASE OF AUSTIN IS A VERY VIBRANT MARKET AND WE HOPE TO HELP AS WELL AS BE HELPED.
HERE IS THE LINK TO STREAM & DOWNLOAD A MP3 COPY OF THE MIX-TAPE.
