Ground Up – The Get Up [Mixtape]

Posted by Grubeats on March 9, 2012

I’ll be honest, this mixtape hit me like a bag of bricks. I didn’t know it was coming and I certainly wasn’t expecting this thorough of a project. Now 10 mixtapes deep, Ground Up has faded on and off my radar but after hearing their last project, “The Get Down” and this one “The Get Up” it’s evident I need to pay more attention to the Philly duo. “Skill over Swag” is the motto Azar and Malakai have coined and ran with, meaning substance over conforming to sell records. I really think this tape is their best yet and all aspects of their delivery have greatly improved; from the ground up. With production from Teddy Roxpin, Jahlil Beats, & of course Bij Lincs as well as features from Freeway, Young Chris, among others, there’s a good variety of subgenre’s featured.
