Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Mixedup have grown up as a tight unit and have been recording for since the early 90's. Once we started live shows, people would not stop supporting us. It wasn't so serious at the beginning but now we have a pretty serious studio set up, since the guy who finalises all our production plays with and produces for some major people. We just can't stop making hip hop, it's definately in the blood.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah we play live... ya can't beat the rush from standing in front of nodding, cheering hip hop heads! Filling some major clubs on major nights to have peeps shout you back on stage more than once!
