Band Members: Amphibious Underground consists of MC Dimension, DJ Phonetics, Homegrown, and Sammy Faze. Within the AU crew, Phonetics and I paired up to create a duo called "TON"...an acronym for "Tips Or Numbers", something we came up with after spinnin' parties together at ISU. The concept is based on parties, one way or another, so enjoy! The video below is Phono on his MPC, choppin up something fresh, me, beatboxing and enjoying the Alaskan IPA that DIME brought from his adventures up North, its shot by DIME as well...
