Since I got to Temple I have been looking for up and coming local rappers that I believe had potential to make it big. So for my first "Up and Coming" post I present to you Ground Up.
Ground Up is a hip-hop trio based out of North Philadelphia. The group is made up of Azar and Malakai, two MC’s and a producer, Bij Lincolns. Whether they are playing a Block Party or in a frat house basement, Ground Up grasps the attention of the audience and never seems to let it go. Tirelessly working, the Group is currently putting the finishing touches on their newest and most intriguing release, Canned Goods. It seems that nothing will prevent the group from continuing to make good music their way; from the ground up.
After listening to this this group, they reminded me a lot of a new age Tribe Called Quest with a mix and chemistry similar to Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y. Both MC's have solid flows and metaphors. I believe with the right chance and opportunity, this group can blow up. When looking at either their Myspace or Facebook page you can see the dedication that this group has and is putting in. Below are links to their numerous mixtapes. Check this group out, because you will know them soon. If your a Temple Student you can see Ground Up at AEPi Saturday April 3rd at 7 p.m.
