Project Born - History

History

Project Born was formed in 1989 by Half Pint Capone, Frank Nitty, and Lil Polk and signed to Psychopathic Records in 1994 on the strength of a demo that they had given to Insane Clown Posse, who believed that they would become "the next Dayton Family".

Psychopathic had originally intended to release the demo as it had been recorded under the title of Forever In The Jects in 1994, but Project Born lost the tape, resulting in the group having to release different material under the title of Born Dead, which was released in 1995, and featured appearances by Insane Clown Posse and Esham. However, the label was not as impressed by the new material as they had been by the original demo. Unfortunately, Born Dead was an unsuccessful EP according to Violent J's book, so the group parted ways with the label in 1996. In 2011, Lil Polk parted ways with Project Born in order to pursue a career as a solo artist and as a music producer under the moniker of Polk Frost and started his very own record label, 423 Music Group Incorporated.

In 2000, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2012, Project Born performed at the Gathering of the Juggalos.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.
    Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
