Venture to the places that the record labels, radio stations, and flashy music videos don't go with this release that seeks to reveal the creativity and artistry of the hip-hoppers who don't have the connections, looks, and marketing savvy to "make it" within the predictably formulaic confines of the music industry. This is hip-hop at its purest, and most raw, and as the future looms just over the horizon fans can see just how powerful that music can be before it's tragically distilled for mass consumption. By speaking with the artists both signed and unsigned who are doing their best to ensure that hip-hop keeps progressing in the right direction, fans can watch as the future plays out right before their very eyes.
