You need to look no further than the Inland Empire. 50 miles east of Los Angeles there has been and still is a bubbling Underground communitie of artist. From Emcees to Dj's,Producers, break dancers and graff artist. The Underground is a mere description of collective beings that create art, without the help of Corporate giants that water it down. The underground i s an asthetic that cant be sold and cant be monitored. You dont sign up for the underground, there isnt an underground club that grants admission. You don't need a back pack to be underground. Any art that flys just beneath the surface of main stream acceptance is pretty much underground. Just like mainstream music the underground has plenty of music that sucks. You can run your finger across the globe and there are underground forces at work, that will bubble over the surface. The underground is where the sound is found. The underground is still alive !
