Mighty Underdogs, The
Dropping Science Fiction
When was the last time hip-hop left you breathless? In a time where predictable raps and redundant beats clutter retail outlets, The Mighty Underdogs present a thrilling alternative.

the unique Underdogs prove that music ‘ hip-hop, specifically’can retain
its significance.
