In the year 2000, we formed Underground Alliance (UNDALI) by hosting and promoting our own underground hip hop nights. We did this in response to an industry flooded with manufactured, uninspiring pop groups and a lack of focus on urban UK talent. Over the years we have grown from a group of 4 aspiring hip hop DJ's to a highly diverse collective of artists, writers and musicians, releasing our own material and putting on shows throughout the country.
After a series of basement mixtapes (Underground Alliance-"Basementality" on cassette; DefDFirez- "Cabin Fever" on cassette and Beat Brickies- "The Mix" on CD) we released "Basementality 2", a 24 track compilation album of original underground material early in 2004.
The CD was followed later that year by two 12" releases: Underground Alliance- "Basementality E.P. Part 1" (a compilation with four of the most popular tracks from previous releases) and Skrein- "Mind Out/Once upon a Skrein" (a solo venture from the groups most diligent rapper). We brought that year to an end by putting on our own mini promotional tour, performing at seven different cities and towns from Newcastle to Brighton.
2005 sees the second solo venture from the UNDALI crew: Prem C- "5 Senses of Def..." (Released on the 14th of March) and the first solo venture from a member of the groups DJ crew The Beat Brickies: DJ Moodie- Construction Skills (set for release mid April) which contains 90% original material from UNDALI members and collaborations with artists such as Skinnyman, Task Force and Foreign Beggars.
Due to the groups' size and geographical diversity we are currently working on a lot of solo material to nurture and hone each of the individual artists' different styles and skills. We are also always working on collective projects and hope to have an officially released Underground Alliance album this time next year, showcasing the groups' true essence with input from all group members and a full scale tour to promote it.
