Project Born is an American horrorcore and Hip Hop Music group. Formed in 1989 in Flint, Michigan, the group was the very first act to be signed to Psychopathic Records and have since formed their own record label, Project Boy Platinum Entertainment.
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".[1]
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.[1] 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, 2012, and 2013 Project Born performed at the Gathering of the Juggalos.[2]
