Mastermind Alliance

Mastermind Alliance is a blue collar indie Hip-Hop super group from Upstate NY and Central Mass that was formed in 2012. It’s made up of 2 producers (James Green and Jay Bernard) and 3 emcees (Ghost of the Machine, Fredo Crespo, and Death Over Simplicity). Mastermind Alliance’s music paints a picture of activism, struggles, and the day to day triumphs of their lives over gritty boom bap beats. Gaining a great response from the local scene and the respect of many musicians from their region, Mastermind Alliance decided to work on their debut album “Lost Generation” in 2013. All throughout the album’s creative process, Mastermind Alliance worked hard to maintain their reputation of brandishing a heavy arsenal of lyricism while continuing to be a representation of the roots of Hip-Hop in a time in history where the media often misses the mark on what Hip-Hop music truly is.
