“The Darwin Files Vol 1″ is a (FREE!!) 25 song smorgasbord of mixtape recordings compiled over the last cpl years. The majority of these recordings are post “the illy-ad” album and demonstrate the continued growth that MC Bravado has shown over said period. I owe the progression that’s led to where I currently reside as an artist to the time I spent on this mixtape. In addition to post debut album recordings, there are four bonus “old-school” tracks that were recorded and mixed on my 12 track. This is a shining example of innovative lyricism for the eclectic hip-hop head. Enjoy!

The origins of Ugly Heores stems from Apollo Brown wanting to do a heavy blue collar album that paints a real picture of life out there. Not a gangsta record. Not a hipster record. A record that paints life as it is today for a lot of the working poor. And as much as we all want to act like we aren’t the working poor – truth is, most of us are living check to check with moments of glory intersparsed with notices from electric companies that the disconnect is pending. Emcees Red Pill (Detroit) and Verbal Kent (Chicago) lay some of the rawest slice of life narratives in the game today over 15 tracks produced by Apollo Brown. Think soul drenched beats with moody horns and heavy drums. We all listen to these rags to riches stories most people sell us, but this is that rags and still hoping story. The album is Ugly Heroes.

Mirage The Illusionist is an up and coming rap artist repersenting the city of Philadelphia PA. His music is a mix of the struggles in the street, everyday 9 to 5 dead end jobs, and fight between ones self through the search of religion. Very laid back type of artist but also speaks with much intensity and power. Mirage is also known for his creative song writing, deep lyrics, and positive message he brings to his audience. Many people name him as the furture of hip hop and all around real music because everything his music repersents is all around what anybody goes through in life in search of a purpose. This is his second mixtape which he released on april 28th 2013 called “The Truth Hurts”. This work of art consist of 15 incredible deep and meaniful songs, a true revolution in the state of hip hop which is so watered down at the moment. Backed with outstanding production and excellent wordplay this mixtape speaks right to the individual listening to it by explaing the reason why the truth hurts to most of us.
