80 Empire are rappers/singer songwriter producers with a passion and love of hip-hop/Rap, soul funk and house music. They love to help tell their and others stories through the art of song. We have always been underdogs who have always with determination and perseverance penetrated the system this is the epitome of what being a Gladiator is about...this is 80Empire want you to know they’re aiming for musical supremacy. Give them a half hour to share their story and suddenly their passion is not only palpable it’s plausible. Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare for new rules. First. The number “80” in their moniker isn’t a not-so-subtle homage to an 80’s revival in music these days. Their songs are in fact informed by a cross-generational pastiche of Hip-Hop, Soul, R&B and Club music. The “80” is the phonetic of “A-D.” As in Analog/Digital. Clever these brothers, and quite appropriate. for Analog/Digital aptly describes their personalities to a proverbial tee. One, is emotional and impulsive favoring Antiques and things with age and patina (Analog), while the other is ordered and methodical with a penchant for Star Wars and all things technological (Digital). It’s a unique combination, just like their music.
