In an era of ringtone dominated sales, lackluster musical quality, and a lot of raised eyebrows concerning the state of hip hop...the light amidst the darkness has yet to be seen. But lets take things back a bit. The year is 1983. Disco has died, and pop culture has started to take shape. Mike Jackson's performance at the Motown Reunion special flooded the gates with a new sound that the world wasn't ready for. But it worked. Hip Hop culture was also starting to take form with such phenomenons as Breakin', Wild Style, and new sounds that youth of all ages could identify with as a new means of expression. But amidst all the new found joys occuring in music, two very important events happened with in that time frame. April 28, 1983 the world is introduced to Frankie Spitzwell, four months later on August 16, earth shakes hands with Ernie Spitzwell. Born worlds apart, these two young men would grow to become avid listeners and students of Hip Hop legends of old. Both have had their fair share of success as solo entities...Ernie also known as EP3 would familiarize ECU with the lyrically pontent and fan frenzy song "Escalades", putting and end to the belief that crunk and hype hip hop had no lyrical quality. Soon after, Frankie also know as EJ would go on to introduce "Love Somebody", to the female population, setting at ease the minds of those who had begun to think that hip hop no longer respectfully addressed women as engines of purity. Together these two young men would come to a consensus that they should combine talents, very similar to the effects of the Wonder Twins. Now the world shall know EFJ & EP3...The SPITZWELL Brothers. Please place seats and tray tables in the upright position. The flight of the century is about to take off....
