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:

    There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.
    Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

    The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
