A new day is upon us and hip hop’s answer to the question “what happened to the female rap game” is here. Blessed with the lyrical prowess to compete with the hottest emcees in the business, as well as singing every R&B hook on their album and being touted as the female version of the Neptunes, the female Hip Hop duo KIN4LIFE is a triple threat. Together as a group for ten years and friends for over fifteen, IQ and Nor have solidified their family ties and KIN4LIFE has never had a truer meaning.

Born and raised in Mt. Vernon, NY, a town known for its contribution to hip hop in the late 80s and early 90s, KIN4LIFE is determined to bring hip hop glory back to their hometown and respect back to their genre. As young black entrepreneurs, IQ and Nor founded their label, Noriq (pronounced Nor-reek) Records in 2002. Under their imprint, they have created a buzz so loud that the international scene has taken note. With major overseas play in the UK, Italy, France, Canada, the US market is next. KIN4LIFE kicked off 2010 with the release of their new EP “I Love KIN4LIFE”, a tribute to all the die-hard fans that have supported the group on their journey.

KIN4LIFE admits that their first love is emceeing, but their production and songwriting skills have made them a hot commodity behind the scenes. Working with the hottest up and coming hip hop and R&B acts, KIN4LIFE has garnered comparison to Missy, prompting them to form Noriq Records’ subsidiaries, Red Eye Productions and The KIN Factory (writing and production). KIN4LIFE recently showcased their talent as producers, winning the “King of the ATL” battle at the industry proving ground Producer’s Swapmeet in Atlanta in the fall of 2009.

The industry is forewarned–as emcees, producers, singers and songwriters, KIN4LIFE sets the standard for excellence in hip hop, R&B, street rock and beyond.
