Born Talent is a versatile battle MC, with ill punchlines and amazing off-the-head freestyle skills.

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.
