Mirage & Concept - Inner Pains (SAMPLER)

Concept MySpace

"Relentless underground duo Mirage & Concept offer up their third release, appropriately named Inner Pains. The 16 track LP serves as a bittersweet reminder of just how far hip-hop has strayed from its rebellious and thought-provoking roots.
Mirage's soul-spilling lyrics are driven by the melodic charge of Concept's sleek homage to the true beat-smiths of the 90's. The crux of the album is refreshingly simple: honesty. Long lost has been hip-hop's blueprint to entice and relate; Mirage & Concept have rediscovered it with Inner Pains. Harmonious nostalgia at its finest"
- J. Hunter

So far the album is available for digital download @ Amazon, and will soon be available on Itunes worldwide.

Mirage & Concept - Long Days & Long Nights

MySpace

Concept - Originally from the Fiji islands, currently residing in Auckland, New Zealand. A beat maker & DJ creating a sound reflecting the sometimes forgotten golden era of hip-hop, soul & jazz.

Mirage - Currently residing in Phoenixville, PA, USA. Started rapping at the early age of twelve, heavily inspired by deep poetry, Mirage grew into Hip-hop naturally. Influenced by artists such as Nas & Common, he developed a unique style bringing back hip hop with meaning.

We came up with the title "Long Days & Long Nights" because of the long hours we put into the music, reflecting the big time difference between NZ & US. I was working all night while Mirage was working all day, vice versa.
