Heroes for Hire is a classic Hip-Hop duo created by MC Ghost of the Machine and Producer DJ Proof. Ghost of the Machine reached out to DJ Proof back in 2016 and they linked up and created a timeless sound. With Ghost of the Machine being a fan of comic books and both DJ Proof and Ghost feeling the responsibility of  keeping the legacy of Hip-Hop alive they came up with the group name, Heroes for Hire.   Ghost of the Machine's music paints a picture of the daily 9-5 struggle, and day to day triumphs. DJ Proof's gritty boom bap beats serve as a catalyst to Ghost's spoken word. Heroes for Hire harness sharp lyricism/production in every song to contradict what is lacking in the current state of this medium of Hip-Hop.

Ghost of the Machine is 1/3 of Mastermind Alliance and 1/2 of The Verbal Vizion. Mastermind Alliance is a blue collar indie HipHop group from Upstate NY and Central Mass that was formed in 2012 whose members include Ghost of the Machine, James Green, Jay Bernard, Fredo Crespo and Death Over Simplicity. Ghost of the Machine’s music paints a picture of activism, struggles, and the day to day triumphs of his life over gritty boom bap beats. Ghost of the Machine harnesses sharp lyricism in every song to contradict what is lacking in the current state of this medium of HipHop. 

Gaining a great response from the local scene and the respect of many musicians from his region, Ghost of the Machine began working with Mastermind Alliance on their debut album “Lost Generation” in 2013. All throughout the album’s creative process, they 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 HipHop truly is. Lost Generation is currently on iTunes and online stores everywhere and has features from Reks and Termanology. Ghost of the Machine is currently working on a solo project with production from Cyrus Tha Great, James Green, ILLa Truth and Jon Glass. And features from Red Pill (Ugly Hero's) and Death Over Simplicity (Mastermind Alliance). STAY TUNED!
