Representing as one of Canada's most recognized groups in hip-hop, Point Blank continue to make long strides in the industry. Comprised of 6 emcees and one in house producer - Imperial, Trouble, Stump, Kidd, RPD, Jackal and Pikihed - share a common goal and vision to be the voice of youth growing up in the inner city.   All members were raised in Toronto, Ontario's infamous Regent Park - North America's Oldest Social Housing Project.   Their recordings are a reflection of their experiences growing up in the impoverished neighborhood.   As artists, they all have distinctive lyrical styles and deliveries reminiscent of classic hip-hop groups like Wu-Tang & Boot Camp.   As a group, PB has performed alongside hip-hop legends such as Rakim , KRS-1 , Outkast and Mobb Deep .   Their national success has allowed them to travel across the country and build a solid fan base of listeners and supporters.  



Running as a crew since 1989, the members' first united in elementary school and formed a group called Poetic Vandals .    In the early 90's, the group launched Tilt Rock Records , the imprint label they are currently signed to.    After forming Tilt Rock Records, the group later re-named themselves to Point Blank, which represented their raw, to the point and bold attitude.     Their lyrics speak of racial profiling, single parent households, poverty, community programs, crime, drug addiction, crooked politicians, police and other social issues surrounding youth growing up in government housing.  

Members Trouble, Stump & Kidd are all brothers and Pikihed & RPD are also identical twins.   These family ties have instilled a strong sense of family values and loyalty within the group.    It has also bred a strong desire to see their families enjoy better living conditions and prosper .  



In 1996 Point Blank released " Retaliation " on DJ X's Power Move Show (CKLN 88.1FM) Demo Battle, and received their first public appraisal. Shortly after, they were featured on Muchmusic's "Soul in The city" program. Opportunities started knocking on the door and later that year, NFL all-star Andre Rison signed the group to his own label, Bullpen Records . Point Blank moved to Atlanta, where they resided with Andre Rison and the late Left Eye Lopez the group recorded several singles and shared stages with remarkable groups like Outkast. In 1997 Point Blank dropped the 12'' single " Startin Shit/ 3 Man Weave " . Before long they were featured in The Source Magazine , representing music splurging from the city of Toronto. In 2000 Tilt Rock Records dropped Point Blank Underground - a compilation of 16 tracks from previous work, which sold roughly 5000 units.   The release was followed by the single " Thin Line . " The track grew to befall one of the most requested Canadian tracks in record pools all across Canada and charted on Flow 93.5's Battle of the Beats for a myriad of weeks. Success surrounded the group as they started getting features on main TV and Radio shows and appearing on publications such as Peace, Pound, Now Magazine as well as Toronto Star and The Sun . In 2003 Ed The Sock from Much Music visited Regent Park, giving the group a chance to speak in behalf of the neighborhood. Shortly after, Point Blank were invited to perform live on Much Music for Ed's big Wham Bam, as well as host Rapcity, where their video " Want It Wit Us ," had reached the top 5 chart on MuchMusic's Rapcity.   



Now in 2007, the groups are set to launch the campaign for their long awaited and highly anticipated debut album.    In March 07 Tilt Rock Records will release the first single " Born N Raised in the Ghetto ," a poetic reflection of a life full of struggles meant to be seen as an inspiration for youth growing up impoverished communities.
