about

EASTBORN is an Edinburgh born (now Glasgow based) lyricist/Poet/ Underground Label runner/ Radio Presenter and all round, self-confessed, Crusader of Hip Hop. EASTBORN appeared working on solo projects in between working with Glasgow based outfit THOUGHTZ OF MORTALZ. For four years THOUGHTZ OF MORTALZ, worked on all round power. Over this period they released a number of underground limited edition tapes and appeared on DISORDA's UK HUSTLERZ vol 4, as well as appearing on DISORDA's MIND THE GAP tape. This led to the band appearing in the UK's largest Hip Hop magazine HIP HOP CONNECTION, where they were described as being "...title contenders," to the likes of BLAK TWANG and BLADE. THOUGHTZ OF MORTALZ also appeared on local radio as well as having regular slots on the radio on Glasgow's FUSION FM. As well as this, they were interviewed for nearly ever underground magazine in Europe. It was at this time also that VIRGIN funded magazine LODOWN approached the crew, strangely enough, backstage at a FUN LOV'IN CRIMINALS gig, where RIZ was doing work with SONY. Complications and conflicts of interest led to the band breaking up towards the end of 1998, not before THOUGHTZ OF MORTALZ did a tune with their mentors TWO TONE COMMITTEE (DOPE ON PLASTIC RECORDS). This tune was a clear indication to all concerned that the THOUGHTZ OF MORTALZ could hold their own and were seriously making some noise. In between these times, EASTBORN appeared freestyling at club SCRATCH in London and also
