History of The Ground Up Magazine

Nearly  three years ago Shawn " The Rev" McDowell  moved back  to his hometown  of Johnstown  Pennsylvania. He moved back after ten years of being  in Montana. He was a rap artist  and after a bad break up with his then girlfriend  he stopped  writing. He then wanted to start writing  again but not music, he wanted a chance to have all musicians  to have exposure .  Shawn started  The Ground  Up  Magazine  fan page on Facebook  just to cover local artists . The magazine  page quickly  gained exposure  all over the United  States  and abroad !  Giving the independent  and underground  music  artists  the chance to be heard by their  fans and gain new fans as well.

The pages articles get great exposure  and are read by the tons a viewers and fans of the product . The Ground  Up  Magazine  is proud to say that they are part of a few media  sources  that cover only Independent  and  Underground  music  artists  from around the world! The magazine  has covered  music  producers, authors, and athletes. This year they will be having  a movie producor, record labels, a clothing line and a Grey Cup Champion (CFL) in the line up!

Setting The Record Straight

2014 was a crazy year if your name was Andre Roxx. We got to talk with the Wu-Tang  Killa  Beez  artist  yesterday  morning  about his lawsuit  against  media outlet TMZ. Andre was the subject of a article  that TMZ  ran in 2014 that stated that Andre cut off his pens and jumped off a hotel in California, which was impossible  because  at that time he was incarcerated  in Philadelphia  Pennsylvania !  The actual  person that TMZ  was talking about was another  artist  from the Wu-Tang  named Andre Johnson  aka  Christ Bearer!

News of the incident  quickly  spread across television  and  other  media  outlets  such as iHeartMedia  Inc, Warner Brothers  Entertainment  and even international ! 

Andre Johnson  and  Marques  Andre Johnson  are two different  people  all together .  The names being crossed we understand  but they bear no resemblance  what's so ever!  When incarcerated  Marques  said "I had to go into protected custody" while he served  his sentence.

The question  that is on everyone's  mind is why didn't  anyone  correct  this huge mistake? After TMZ  found out that  they had the wrong  person they did not write a retraction at all!

Marques  Andre Johnson  has suffered  from this report financially  because  he has not been able to be place on any show tickets since the report.

Some of his friends  and family members  have not talked to him since the false report. Djs  and promotions  will not book him because  it is to "risky" to have him on the bill. Marques  Andre  Johnson   stated "I've worked hard to build my name in this business, good or bad I've  worked to get where I'm  at, I just want my name back!"

With all that he has gone through  in the  past 2 1/2 years  we surely hope that this is a wake up call for all major media outlets  to get the source material  right!
