The Get By

Biography

     For years now hip-hop has slowly been segregating itself. Today, the divide between fans of mainstream, more marketable hip-hop, and those claiming to be "true school heads" has never been as large. Caught between these 2 hip-hop alter egos is a generation of people who can appreciate the positive aspect of both, but are disillusioned with mainstream hip-hop’s lack of substance and its disposability. At the same time, these fans are also are also dishearten with the attitude and exclusiveness of the underground. Paving a new path from the middle of this crossroads is The Get By. 2 emcees, 1 DJ and a nation of hip-hop lovers left in limbo. The Get By is the amalgamation of Justis, Mantis, and Pangea Delphi. For years now each of these artists has been perfecting their respective crafts as solo artists. After the release of their acclaimed solo albums "Just Is" and "Still Life", Justis and Mantis decided to combine their efforts for stage shows. Recruiting renowned Radio and club DJ Pangea, the trio very quickly earned a reputation for having one of the most entertaining, and energetic live sets in Canada, with the captivating, honest and innovative music to match. It is this reputation that has already had The Get By across Canada sharing stages with the likes of Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek (Reflection Eternal), Asher Roth, People Under The Stairs, Rapper Big Pooh (of little brother fame), Kardinal Official, Classified, Shad, DJ Red Alert, Scratch from the legendary Roots and many more. As solo artists Justis' “Just Is” was an international release from Do Right! Music. The album was successful in Canada, charted on the earshot! Top 20 of 2008 for hip-hop on Canada wide collage radio, and gained an even larger following in markets such as Japan, Germany, France and the UK . Mantis’s “Still Life” has also made waves across Canada and currently has singles charting in the top 10 on many American college radio stations. The two Emcee/Producers and their DJ have been long time friends, collaborators and have always shared the same view of Hip Hop. And at long last, they have decided the time was right to realize that vision. Their goal is to create a home in the middle. To bring hip-hop to the point where people aren’t mainstream or underground. To create timeless music that is honest, soulful and represents who they are and who they want to be. To give people who demand more out of hip hop something to connect with. With their debut album "Let Go" now circulating worldwide, and touring across north america, everyone is soon to discover what The Get By is all about. Fresh as a new shirt and cooler then the other side of the pillow, The Get By is all of us.
