Da Foundation was formed in
summer of 2009 and is made up of: "Mu Smoova" Mustaiin Lawrence
born June 20. Nickname "Mu" thinker, militant, an quiet spoken
person who, at the same time possesses a vibe which demands attention (Lion in
the Room). "Mile Casso" Malcolm Lawrence born October 10, is
vigorously active, approachable and a risk taker, with the mind state of a
gambler, (You win some, you lose some but I ain't trying to lose). The
duo’s different styles complement each other with massively powerful energy as
they continue towards success.
“Alleyway 2 Broadway!” a good
start for a better finish. Da Foundation went from open mic’s to winning
showcases to headlining their own shows in a matter of months working with
various booking agencies.
Realizing their foundation
must be strong they focused on their surrounding areas. Performing in
Greensboro, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Charlotte and Durham just to name a few. The
unique style they bring to the table fed their audience(s) leaving no bitter
taste as their targeted audience identifies 100% with their music.
Smoova says, "We are walking proof of this s*it."
But that wasn't enough. It
was time to release a project, which they did, “Alleyway to Broadway.” Moneyball
was produced by Dreez09 productions and Don Mega (MegaMuzik/D-Block/ BrickSquad
1017) is currently available at www.coast2coastmixtapes.com.
As Da Foundation moves up on
the Hip Hop Charts with their award winning single, they are currently
impacting radio on various stations such as WRSV-FM, WZFX-FM, WCCG-FM and
many more, earning them #49 in the top 50 independent artist in US.
“As we grow we learn” says
Casso
Da Foundation released their
EP entitled “MoneyNevaSleepz” on April 8, 2016. They have what it takes to make
a major impact on the music industry today. Nothing came easy to them, not even
the units sold on the streets “hand over fist”.
