Project Born

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Project Born ("PJB") is a rap group from Flint, Michigan.

In 1994 they signed to Psychopathic Records. According to Violent J's book, Behind The Paint, the label used to pick members up, give them rides to the studio, buy them clothes and so on.[1]

When PJB got signed to Psychopathic, it was on the strength of a demo tape that they had given to Insane Clown Posse ("ICP") and then lost. So instead of releasing the demo as the album, they had to go into the studio and record a whole new album which, which Psychopathic believed was not as good as the original.

The album was released anyway, and it was Project Born's only Psychopathic release. It was a short EP entitled Born Dead and featured a track with ICP as well as one with Esham. The album did not do well and soon after, Project Born was off the record label.

The band went on to release a few albums on its own record label, such as Crap Or Natural and Jack The Reaper.

In 2000, PJB reunited with Psychopathic for the last time, performing a show at the very first annual Gathering of the Juggalos. That would be the last time Project Born ever associated with Psychopathic. The band went on to release another album entitled Rent Is Due, as well as Ghetto Celebs Soundtrack.

Project Born has been working on a new Born Dead 2 CD set, but it has yet to be released.
