The bond between J. Cole and the lyrical Atlanta duo Earth Gang is a strong one. Having already collaborated on a number of songs, Cole signed Johnny Venus and Doctur Dot, who make up Earth Gang to his Dreamville Records.

In a video announcement J. Cole made the signing official while praising the duo saying, “When ni**as think about Atlanta, they think about super trap shit,” he said. “They think about Future, which Future is the God right now in that world and in that lane, but them kids you seen at that show tonight, them 3,000 kids and then there was thousands more that didn’t make it in, they actually relate more to y’all.”

Cole has a point, Atlanta is always aligned with trap music and acts like Future, Migos, 21 Savage, and many others add to that sentiment. Earth Gang brings a different kind of flow and style to the ATL scene that is very different from the trap sound. Earth Gang along with fellow Spillage Village member, J.I.D, who signed to Dreamville earlier this year, all possess a more lyrical-driven style, fitting Dreamville’s collective.

Fresh off their new deal Earth Gang will join labelmates, J. Cole, J.I.D, and Ari Lennox at this weekend’s Made in America music festival in Philadelphia.
