Irs

From trading hip hop tapes in math class, to trading verses back and forth after school, Korry and I started what is now known as Irs. A few months of sessions between classes and siphes after school, we decided to form a group and look for a studio to start recording. After a few hellish sessions at studios that knew nothing about hip hop, we finally found a nice spot where we could be mentored into producers and seasoned studio vocalists. A few years of polishing our recording and production skills and we were ready to begin performing at shows and entering contests. By adding performing to our repertoire, we were on our way to becoming well-rounded musicians. Everything was coming together but we were missing one important elementa D.J.

During one of Torontos livest festivals, Caribanna, Korry and I met T.R.A.C.K.S at Caribanna. We knew he was sick on the turntables from some of his mix tapes so we began to build, and the rest is history. He not only became our D.J, he became the third member of our group assisting with production and vocals.

In 2003, we released our first album Welcome To Planet Irs, which Universal Canada and Avatar Records (U.S.) picked up featuring T-dot anthem, T.R.A.C.K.S. Lament, and "No Hesitation" featuring Planet Asia. The singles earned rotation on all major Canadian stations and merited an appearance on B.E.T.s Next. We won a few awards, got written up in a few magazines, got nominated for Junos and UMAC awards along the way. We've been recording joints for the last few years and have accumliated a few albums worth of material.
