There is an entire world of underground artists of all genres ranging from all ages, and coming from a variety of societies, backgrounds and cultures. However, there is one thing all underground artists have in common, and that is the true love of music. Not only are they very passionate about their music, but their lyrics come from the heart. If you listen closely, you will often find yourself listening to a true~life story or event that has affected the artist. Before you know it, they are sharing that real life moment with you through their music.
William “BISHIP” Graves, born December 12, in Harrisonburg, VA, is an underground artist with much love and respect for music and this game. His drive and love of the craft is what separates him from other artists, and his goals and visions are like no other. Even if BISHIP wanted no part of music, there was no escaping it! From a young age music was embedded into BISHIP through his family. Which only makes sense as to why he is so passionate about music, and where his passion stems from. It was at the age of 11 when BISHIP knew he was going to be an artist, and even more so, have a huge part of the music industry.
BISHIP has had the opportunity to collab with underground artists from all over the world and released many mixtapes. In September of 2012, BISHIP became a part of a group named "THE CRASH UNIT” and during their time together they released the mixtape “LOST.” Not to mention, BISHIP was involved with several radio blogs, but in November of 2012, became a huge part of a worldwide radio show called "LEKSIII Productions.” BISHIP not only helped this show to evolve, but he brought it to new heights. He spent several hours and days promoting, bringing new artists to the show and introducing them to this movement. In 2010, BISHIP established his own record label, MOB OUT ENT., and from there he became an A & R scouting for new talented artists. Not only did he study each artist, but he hand-picked them carefully to ensure that they were the right fit for the MOB OUT ENT FAMILIA. When it comes to BISHIP, he is very direct and transparent and has a no time for artists that aren’t willing to put in the work. In other words, the same energy he puts out, is the same energy he expects in return and won’t allow anyone or anything to bring down his MOB OUT FAMILY. Since then, BISHIP remains diligent and has released two mixtapes, “United Powers” and “The Rebirth”, not to mention numerous features on projects. In 2016 BISHIP was asked to be part of Chinaman Records by the late Pioneer and Legend Fresh Kid Ice of 2live Crew. In 2017 the project Breaking Glass Ceilings was released https://open.spotify.com/album/5WSoVikD6GJ4wXee8ThGfx?si=k0fJ0eqRSU...
