Highschool friends Vincent, Harris, Cedric, Joesel, and Emmanuel (now more popularly known as Pray, R!S, CXY, Supboi K, and Juan-e, respectively) often get together to enjoy music. Their love for Hip-hop and R&B led the five friends to form a group in 2018. They called themselves 8 BALLIN’. A year later, Albert, Jimm, Paolo, John, and Kurt (more known as Schumi, Ya’akov, Ego, Lvx, and TEEN, respectively) joined the group when they met during senior years. That time, the 10-crew group enjoyed their days making music, not realizing that they were creating something for the future.

In Jun 2021, 8 BALLIN' released their now-signature track, Know Me, which grew to more than 7 million views in just one week of release. The music video became viral for its earworm lyrics and beat. The experimental approach to the song is a combination of a west coast beat and a rapping style called slime that is often heard from the music of Young Thug, Gunna, Lil Keed. They are big music heads for ex-battalion, 727 Clique, Bawal Clan and international artists like Wu-tang Clan, BROCKHAMPTON, beast coast, and YSL.

With exceptional rap and song writing skills, 8 BALLIN’ has the potential to be the big Hip-hop group of this generation. Fans love their youthful and cool personalities that reflect in the creative energy they input into their songs. But what sets 8 BALLIN’ apart from other Hip-hop groups is their bond--they are friends first before they are a musical ensemble.
