Video: The Proforms – Get Ready


A dope new video and song for you from the group The Proforms – “Get Ready,” off their debut album Atavism, brought to you by the Red August video crew (Twitter: @whoisredaugust).
The group features two of Indianapolis’ most dynamic emcees, A.C.E. O.N.E. (of s.a.i.n.t. RECON, The Breakdown Kings, Justice League) and Skittz (of Mudkids, The Breakdown Kings), backed by one of the city's best producers, Joe Harvey (Twilight Sentinels), with up-and-coming turntablist DJ Spoolz (Scoot Dubbs, The Dirty Thirty) rounding out the crew. Not only are these guys’ legends in the Indy Hip Hop scene, they are also part of the hip hop power house crew Cut Camp (www.cutcamp.com). This unique crew brings some of the dopest beats and rhythms you can find while keeping true to their raw boom bap style. With their debut album Atavism, The Proforms have been making some influential progress in the Midwest. The Proforms are putting Indianapolis, IN on the map as the next up-and-coming city for hip hop. Proforms beat maker and emcee Joe Harvey grew up on the classic hip-hop sound of producers like Pete Rock and DJ Premier. But it's more than that; Atavism is a finely crafted piece of hip hop. The Proforms are about saving the world one dope hip-hop song at a time. It's all preservation and perpetuation. This shit won't stop.
