BORN OFFICIAL

Born Official BioThese five solo MC's began rapping together as a team in 2000, when their management company R.I.L. Music, LLC built and created Kingston St. Studios, allowing them 24hr studio access. Here they spent their time over the years making music and honing their studio skills. The guys began doing collaborations with each other and soon started to talk about combining their talents and formulating a group. By blending all five styles and flows, they realized they had something the game was missing – uniqueness!! Shortly thereafter they began to discuss what their name would be, ultimately deciding on “BORN OFFICIAL”.The five members of the group are Sho Luv, Cyf, Big Stretch, G-Strong, and Goodz.
