EarthGang is an American rap duo composed of emcees Johnny Venus and Doctur Dot. Formed in 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia, EarthGang released its first EP, The Better Party, in 2010. This was followed by several singles and three albums, including Mad Men and Good News in 2011, and Shallow Graves For Toys in 2013. The latter peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart and was largely well-received, with Noisey calling it "one of the most well thought-out releases of the year" and praising the album's "playful delivery and biting lyricism."[1] Inking a deal with Empire Distribution as of 2014, the group has released several music videos and is currently touring North America with Ab-Soul.
