Why this name?
We're tryna build ourselves a name in this industry, tryna build an Empire, so The Empire it is, feel me.
Do you play live?
We've played live only once, but got a few shows scheduled soon, come through and see us if you're around Boston.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet changes the music industry in both positive and negative ways. It's a negative becuz it makes it easier to steal people's music. It's positive however becuz it lets the underground artists get more exposure, and lets some new talent make its way into the industry.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yea as long as the money and the contracts right.

Empire currently has dropped one CD, has one unreleased, and has worked with artists from Boston to Virginia, such as Dramz, T Boss, Kamikazee, G Free, Royaltee, Phaze, C1W, and Leyenda a.k.a. Nostalgic.
Your influences?
