Welcome to Earth Born's site. Here you can peep lots of different type tracks, from '93 vibes of Pete Rock & CL, The Roots, Outkast and more to new age rapid tounge bounce tracks, you want it so we supply it. Earth Born's approach is that of a more conscious and witty foundation. Tryin to take it back to the days when "ice" "bling-bling" & "a lex or beemer" where not in every emcees rhymes or on everytrack on the radio. WE supply you with more thought-provoking tracks to chill and relax tracks to battle rhymes to deep topics and everything in between. You could possibly compare our sound, even though we do not immitate but innovate, to those of Jurassic 5, De la Soul, The Roots, and more to the underground sounds of: LA Symphony, Tunnel Rats, Ugly Duckling, Mountain Brothers, 7L & Esoteric, People Under the Stairs, etc...
Why this name?
We have that down to "earth" sound, and most heads can relate to what we say, from concept tracks to those weekend party joints, we got ya covered. BDS came up with the actual name.
Do you play live?
Yes whenever we get any gigs. We love to rock live to all the true heads and fans in AZ!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It provides a whole other way to reach music lovers and musicians that normally would never have been reached. The internet is world wide, so our music doesnt just stop at our city or state, but beyond.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It depends on how much freedom they allow and the contract itself. The music industry has become so greedy and usually take really talented artists, suck them dry of creativity, and kick them out. We are having fun doing our own stuff, the way we want by means of our own indie record label. We refuse to sell out to mainstream media and be played 3 times per hour on radio stations. Too much exposure can be negative!
Band History:
