GRAMMY-nominated Atlanta rap duo EARTHGANG have just announced that their new album Perfect Fantasy will be out later this month on October 29th and today share the lead single ‘Love You More (feat. T-Pain)’ out now via UnitedMasters. LISTEN HERE.
The news of Perfect Fantasy arrives alongside the announcement of their two upcoming headlining shows in Mexico City (October 29th) and Tokyo (December 5th). Heavily inspired by Japanese culture, Perfect Fantasy is the next chapter in the duo’s experimental EARTHGANG VS. The Algorithm series following the release of futuristic ROBOPHOBIA EP earlier this year, which included features from Snoop Dogg, Spillage Village, and Tommy Newport.
A conceptual project that explores the effects of AI on society, Perfect Fantasy finds EARTHGANG questioning the ways advanced technologies are consuming our lives and dreaming of an alternate universe where humans could live more freely. The LP is the latest instalment in what has been a strong year for EARTHGANG, who recently shared their Snakehips collab EP, SNAKEGANG.
Since signing to J. Cole’s Dreamville Records in 2017, EARTHGANG have emerged as the contemporary torchbearers of Afrofuturism, continuing to redefine what’s possible in hip-hop by blending sounds that challenge the status quo. After debuting on the Billboard charts with their 2019 album Mirrorland (#22 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart), the duo have gone on to receive GRAMMY nominations for two of their songs – Best Rap Performance for ‘Down Bad‘ featuring J. Cole, JID, Bas & Young Nudy (400M+ Streams) and Best R&B Song for ‘Collide‘ with Tiana Major9 (100M+ Streams) off the Queen & Slim Soundtrack.
Winning the BET Award for Best Duo Or Group in 2022, and more locally an ARIA Award for Best Soul / R&B Release in 2023 for ‘Mess Around‘ with Forrest Claudette, EARTHGANG have maintained their momentum with impactful cultural moments, like creating their single ‘Swing‘ featuring Benji (35M+ Streams) for Marvel’s Spider Man 2 and a partnership with Nike for their ESSENTIALS campaign.
EARTHGANG are a unique rap duo that have been making an impact on the Hip-Hop soundscape since their formation in 2008. Comprised of members Olu and WowGr8, the pair met as freshmen at Mays High School in Southwest Atlanta and were deeply influenced by their surroundings. Their music as EARTHGANG is a fusion of various genres, including R&B, Jazz, Gospel, and Funk, which they use to create innovative albums, experimental EPs, and masterful mixtapes.
With a name rooted in the idea of bringing people together, EARTHGANG have gained a massive following, with more than 3 Million monthly listeners on Spotify and over 155 Million views on YouTube. EARTHGANG’s commitment to community activism, supporting emerging artists, and dedication to pushing boundaries in their music have earned them critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. Their sound continues to evolve, with each project showcasing their eclectic rhythm that cannot be placed in a box or attached to any one genre.
With the latest examples of this being their new EP ROBOPHOBIA, as well as their recent Snakehips collab project SNAKEGANG, EARTHGANG are continuing to push the sonic boundaries of Hip-Hop while simultaneously delivering outside-of-the-box concepts infused with an experimental sound.
