Rob Base is known for "It Takes Two" & "Joy And Pain" 2 of Hip-Hops most played and liked classics.Band/artist history
Best known for his 1988 platinum hip-hop classic "It Takes Two", Rob Base along with childhood friend DJ E-Z Rock rode their smash hit onto R&B radio stations as well as dance clubs around the world and provided a touchstone for the style known as hip-house.
Rob Base first began performing with a group called the Sure Shot Seven while in fifth grade. By the time of high school graduation, the only members left in the group were him and E-Z Rock, so the duo began recording together. Their first single, "DJ Interview," appeared on the World to World label, and gained them a distrobution deal with Profile Records by 1987. The first Profile release, the title track single from their debut album, It Takes Two, became a street sensation upon its release in mid 1988. Massive club airplay enhanced its impact considerably. Both the single and the album eventually went multi platinum and Rob Base and E-Z Rock gained Single of the Year honors both in Spin Magazine and The Village Voice. The second single,, "Get on the Dance Floor'" continued Rob's dance appeal, and his excellent rapping helped him retain his street credentials. But Rob Base wasn''t done yet because he soon shocked the rap world with another monster smash called "Joy and Pain" which to this day is a classic song that plays all over the world.
In 1989 Rob then dropped a solo release called "The Incredible Base" which included a networking of Edwin Starr's "War" and is considered an awsome all around classic record. Rob followed that record up with Break Of Dawn featuring one of Rob's hardest hits "Symphony", as well as his party anthem "Get Your Hands Up". That's when a young New York singer by the name of Kyle Riffkin joined up with Rob and E-Z to form a trio that would blow audiences away whenever they performed.
Rob Base is one of the most popular rap stars of all time and has fans all over the world. Even though Rob Base has sold millions and millions of records, he is one of the most down to earth cats you'll ever meet and that's why his fans adore him so much.
