*This is Mack C Rivera, leader of the underground hip hop collective known Air Haze, based out of Atlanta,GA. We are a group of diversely and Uniquely talented individuals who come together in order to create music that is best described as awkwardly cryptic or mysterious in nature. Our goal is not to draw you in with our lyrics, although they are quite impressive, but instead to alter one's overall level and type of brain functioning while listening to our music (think of Free-Base mp3's...lol). We currently consist of 9 core members including myself (Mack C Rivera), Co-Founder Axiom, our primary DJ/producer Wino Willy, rapper/singer/guitarist Black Light, The rambunctiously lyrical Negative Zero, Breakfast Nation(Mayday, Crysis & Sol), and of course the 1st lady of AH, Nichele. We also have a few other affiliates or “running buddies,” if you will such as Plewto Smith for example, who has worked for us as a hype man many times despite his being a solo artist. Excluding Axiom, whom I met through a mutual friend, myself, and all of the other members and affiliates came to know one another through the Morehouse College based art society known as the Illlyterati or Ill-lyt for short. This has allowed us to hone our respective crafts in an environment free of negative judgments and criticisms, only adding to the outstanding foundations each of us had when we first came together almost 2 1/2 years ago. Being that I am the feature MC and most of our other members are still enrolled at Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University, I do have the most material released to date including 3 mixtapes, 1 ep and a flurry of random singles and features over the years. You will notice a recurring theme in the titles of the two latest projects with the word “Ill,” which is an effort on my part to do 2 things: 1. To keep us at least partially grounded to the core principles of the Illlyterati, and 2. So that the rest of the word can at least have some idea about where we come from and what we stand for. Slightly vulgar monikers such as “Say A.H. B%#$*es,” “Donatello Sh*t,” and the ever popular, “#AHOE(Air Haze Over Everything),” help to keep the listener in the proper state of mind necessary to receive the messages we wish to transmit effectively. Below, I have included the links to some of our latest projects including: the 1st official A.H. mixtape release from 2012 titled “So Far Ill,” The Youtube links to the official music videos for “Lucy,” and “Artsy Fartsy,” the #1 & 2 singles from the SFI mixtape, and lastly the link to our latest mixtape just released on 4/5/13 titled “Ill.” I truly believe you will like what you hear at least a little bit and if you feel it in your soul to post us that would be a blessing.
