History
[edit]2008–2009: Formation
[edit]The rap duo EarthGang was first formed in 2008 by Johnny Venus and Doctur Dot, then both high school students inAtlanta, Georgia.[7]According to Johnny Venus, they had first met on a field trip in 9th grade atBenjamin Elijah Mays High School,with Venus later approaching Doctur Dot to ask about forming a music group.[8]Avid fans ofrapandhip hop,both members had grown up listening to artists as diverse as theOhio Players,Dizzy Gillespie,Madonna,andRichard Pryor.[7]About their name EarthGang, Venus explained in 2011 that "The name came to me abruptly one day. It represents what we're made of and why we do what we do. It's for the people by the people. Our music is influenced by the conscious and subconscious, and we create it to influence the like."[8]
2010–2013: Early releases
[edit]On January 26, 2010, the group released its first EP, the mixtape titledThe Better Party.Their first full-length recording project, they recorded in a multitude of studio spaces, which, according to Venus, included "dorm rooms atHampton University,closets in Atlanta, a house studio owned by 'Mr. Fish' (a fellow underground Atlanta musician), and finally in Hampton University's Music Recording Technology Jazz studio. "The EP was mixed and mastered by EarthGang, with help from Jack Swain.[8]Also in 2010, they began touring in the United States, performing at festivals such as theA3C Festivalin Atlanta.[8]They released periodic singles as well, and in November 2010 they debuted the song "Miss the Show."[8]In early 2011 they taped and released a music video for "Kick'n It", a track first included onThe Better Party.[8]Soon afterwards they released the single "Opium",[8]which they would later film a music video for. The group self-released two albums in 2011:Mad Menin April, andGood Newsin December.
They released their track "The F Bomb" on June 4, 2012. The song would later be included on a 2014 album and was made into a music video. "Machete", a single produced by808 Mafia,was self-released by EarthGang on February 10, 2013, shortly before the release of their music video for their 2012 single "Fire Kicking Tree Limbs". In March 2013 the group released "UFOs",[9]a slow single over nine minutes long.[9]According to a review inPigeons and Planes,"Sexual, contemplative, sprawling, and slow, EarthGang's 'UFOs' veers far left from the duo's last music expedition 'Machete' and hews a bit closer to the earthy soul that typified so much mid-'90sDungeon Familyoutput. "[9]They again performed at the A3C Festival in early 2013,[7]also opening for Black Fest atStanford University.[7]
