The conceptual release was originally slated to take a slice of life as it exists in the US, as we head towards our 'end of days'- the 'Apocalypse'. But noone really wanted to be confined to that dreary outlook. Some took the angle of party to the end.. But still it's aim is to get folks to account for the future..Songs were culled from the various Emcees located all over the US.This is not your 'regional' release but has something on it for every locale.Shout outs to the Cities that gave birth to these MC'sSan Jose, Ca.San Francisco, Ca.Los Angeles Ca,Detroit Mich,Austin Texas,Harlem NYCChicago, IllPhoenix, AZThe Producer/Music writer 'KDubbs' put this project together NOT to rep Boooty shakin, elementary school beats that are prevalent today. No Disrespect, there is a time and a place for it.But hailing from the Pittsburgh, Pa area, and having lived on the West Coast for over 10 years, he wanted to Rep a combination of East Coast Flava married to the West Coast 'G' Funk flava, yet still come original and true to his roots.. We think he did it well.If you enjoy the Roots, The Brand New Heavies, Premiere, JDilla, Paris, Public Enemy and others of that cloth, then you should enjoy this release.We are not trying to make any statement other than allowing what flows out from us to flow FREELY (without restrictions placed by Major Label idealogies).We are not trying to diss anyone, but we are trying to bring REAL basslines, clever word play, and real full songs/music back together in an accessable, danceable, marketable HipHop product..We do not shy away from 'commercializm' but realize that Original music/sound will go much farther and last longer than imitation of someone else.And while some may think we sound similar to someone else, we take it as a kudo that our 'influences' shine, we still believe that the music/lyrics combine to make this a truely unique release.Although 'Apocalypse' has been in the making for almost 6 years, because of various unforseen delays, We personally believe that true quality music is TIMELESS. And this project was produced with that in mind. Go pick up the Previous real 'Urban Underground®' release 'the hiphop unknown'.Prepare yourself for the very Next real 'Urban Underground®' forthcoming releases 'World Peace' and 'Chocolate Soul'Which are on 6 month schedules. We've been silent far too long and GOD has Blessed with creative spurts that has allowed a library of over 300 songs!!

If you listen to their 'release'and ours, that should tell the tale (and we invite them to open mic battles of any kind/location).. We also got some love for the Promotion/Party scene 'Urban Underground' in Los Angeles.. There's an 'Urban Underground' coming out of the UK, An Urban Underground Realty in NYC, an Urban Underground Clothier out of Philly and too many others cropping up.But we copyrighted the name back in 1989 and have held the domains urbanunderground.com/urbanunderground.net since 1986, while still in high school (right of FIRST usage).. Those who tried to get the 'urbanunderground.com' domain KNOW this...Unfortunately we didn't have the $$ to combat any infringement (lawyers WILL take your money if you give it to them). So here we are, BIT on, infringed, IMITATED but never duplicated.... Fortunately the REAL 'Urban Underground®' 's commitment to aural excellence places them head and shoulders above all other wannabe 'Urban Undergrounds'.. We invite any of you FAKE urban undergrounds to step up and do the right thing!!!
