Welcome to the underground labyrinth of sound where independent artists are the ones living hardest... These subterranean cats and their outlooks on life is something we can all draw inspiration from and be grateful for.. a big shout out to all the do-it-yourselfers making something from nothing.. to those who do most, if not every aspect of their music from writing their own lyrics, to making beats, recording, producing, album cover art- even packaging their own tapes and CD's and slanging them on the streets.. that's my raw love for this art form since meeting some legends on the streets of Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco and even San Diego (much respect to the Access Hip Hop Store in SD who've had an extensive growing collection of underground hip hop for well over a decade- do i dare say they have more underground than Amoeba??).. guess those were also kinda the days before the digital era.. Another great place to check out and dig thru a lot of dope hip hop can be found here: thisisforthehustlers.com Underground hip hop has been my favorite "genre" for over half my life.. my head's been so deep in the subterranean music scene that it's rare for me to resurface, which has lead to an ignorance of commercial music- i admit.. i even learned the hard way trying to dj in pAris a few years ago for a quick minute.. I don't really know these new artists and rappers on the radio and it amazes people when they hear that from me.. c'est la vie.. Haha.. there's 1000's of artists people sleep on in any genre, but hopefully people know at least about the local artists in their area.. From growing up in the Bay Area, it was only natural that i came to love the music around my home town which boasts more than many can shake a stick at.. been living in france since 2010 and i've been diggn' a lot of the french hip hop over here- whether mainstream or underground, although the golden era of hip hop is kinda similar to that time-frame in the usa.. there's only 1 quick french hip hop track in this mix.. but whether old or new school, there's plenty of good sound to go around and this mix from the underground is, to say the least, profound... This is not a west coast underground compilation, although it leans heavy to that side- like i said, i'm from there, so i admit the bias, but i got love for good music no matter where it comes from- especially when it comes from the heart overall.. No real theme in this mix, but a few reoccurring messages drift through the melodies if deciphered correctly.. unlike the other JHHSV mixes in this series, this project is 100% hip hop with no other genre deviations The album art is a depiction of the underworld Agartha found on the internet (where else?), which is quite interesting to learn about... maybe it's just a rabbit hole that goes waaay deep underground, but there's a lot of research and theories about it.. hollow earth? not necessarily.. flat earth?? haha, don't waste your time and emotions on that psy-op.. just consider the concept of "as above, so below" or however that phrase goes and the sacred geometry within creation that flows.. a buddy of mine is going to post an article about the underworld Agartha, which is an interesting one::: https://theawakeninginsider.wordpress.com/2016/06/30/legends-of-the-inner-earth-a-subterranean-world/ ∞∞∞TRACK LIST∞∞∞ "it's tracks like this that get missed from the song list but still they bliss, sounding good in your ear....(you'll figure it out)" "it's the artists living hardest in them underground ways- subterranean men(&women) put in work every night and day...- Anacron" music always mixed to help AwakenYaMind..
