Release Notes:
Born Talent is a versatile battle MC, with ill punchlines and
amazing off-the-head freestyle skills. Aside from being an MC,
he is also the host of The 54 Side show on RADIOHIPHOP.COM and
91.9FM WHUT in NYC.
Born Talent dropped his first official release on vinyl in
1998 with the group Constellation (B.T., Jay Love and DJ
Mugzy). The 12" included the joints "Water World", "Tagz Up"
and B.T.'s solo joint "For All The Heads". The record got love
from such DJ's as DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Marley Marl, DJ
Spinna, DJ RIZ and many college radio shows, and when the
group opened for Camp-Lo at Penn State University, they stole
the show.
B.T. has performed at Penn State University, Fordham
University, the world famous CBGB's, Nuyorican Cafe, Planet
28, Downtime, Club 169, Club Pyramid, Tramps, Wetlands,
Underscore, Wild Spirits, Opus Entertainment and many other
spots. Talent has rhymed, cyphered and battled with many of
underground hip-hops greatest MC's.
Born Talent spent a good amount of time on the "Battle
Circuit" and was the "Soundminds Mic CLASH MC Battle Champion"
and also retired himself as "The Last Word" MC Battle
Champion, after over a year of holding the title undefeated.
In 2002, Born Talent released his first solo 12" single
entitled "Braggin" b/w "Underground Tribute pt 1" and "Avids
Affection". All tracks on the 12" were produced by the Avid
Record Collector. The song "Braggin" is also featured on the
Ill Boogie records compilation entitled "Independents Finest
Volume 3". Available on CD in stores everywhere.
Although Born Talent has strayed away from the battle scene,
and has fully dedicated his time towards completing his full
length album "The Essence", B.T. was selected by VH1 this past
year as a finalist for the illest Freestyle MC in the
"Freestyle 59" competition.
In early 2007, Born Talent released a 12" single which
includ
