Ancient Mind

Real Hip-Hop For The People!

About Me


An East Coast emcee packed with heavy energy, charisma, and a powerful message – Ancient Mind is not only a breath of fresh air for hip-hop music, but an up-and-coming voice of a generation.
“More women’s rights advertised then one-nights
More respect to indigenous then neon lights
As if our true liberties are numb or quant
I'm on some serious ---- since the government aint”

An artist constantly at work – Ancient has allowed age to be no barrier in attaining both live and studio experience. Whether playing to 2006’s sold-out crowd at Toads Place New Haven, opening for the legendary Culture feat Joseph Hill, straight to inspiring peaceful protest at 2007’s Rap against the Iraq War in Willimantic – the high-energy shows have always been a leading facet.
No stranger to the microphone – Ancient Mind is a dynamic recording artist, from early 2007’s collaborative project with Hawaiian reggae crooner Kana – Standing Strong – straight to his current preparation for a full-length release with fellow Connecticut rhymer – Erik Lamb.
Being an artist that looks success in the face and says Sky’s the Limit – just what can we expect from this approaching wordsmith? “More songs, verses, hooks, light, pain, knowledge, life, experience,” he says with a smile. “Hip-hop is the most direct channel to the people there’s been for decades – I want to make the best of that.” With radio-ready tracks like Top Of the World, Uprising feat DWI, and Be Real feat Erik Lamb – there’s no doubt about that.
