Perfecting their craft since 1991, identical twin rappers, Santoine and Antoine Jackson, are proving they can hold their own with today’s hot, young hip hop artists.
Originally known as Hostile, the Inkster , MI born duo began creating music focusing on their struggle and street life. Their initial sound mimicked that of Esham, Ice Cube and Easy-E. They used lyrics typical of the Geto Boys as a basis for their lifestyle, but on a course of imminent disaster, after becoming engulfed in the street life they so passionately rapped about, SJ and AJ decided to take their music in another direction. They changed their name to IDENTICAL and created the successful entertainment company, Neighborhood Music in 2001.
IDENTICAL is now an unstoppable force among unsigned artists, gaining momentum with an increasing fan base. They launched moreidentical.com along with their popular web series, “Interstate IDENTICAL,” that follows the twins as they travel across the country, grinding their way to superstardom.
So what’s next for the duo equipped with an innovative sound, unique style and a few hit records? The much anticipated new album, “MADE IN THA’ 80’s.” The songs on the album pay homage to the decade the twins were born, featuring production by Maybach Music Group’s The Olympicks, as well as K.I.D.D.
IDENTICAL has developed a sound uncommon to any other hip hop artist on the scene today, proving they have what it takes to be the greatest twin musical group ever!
