Animal Farm is one of the hottest groups to burst upon the northwest hip-hop scene, creating a significant buzz in just three years after joining forces. The group has quickly developed a large regional following after performing live throughout the west coast with the likes of Common, Method Man and Redman, GZA and RZA from Wu-Tang Clan, N.E.R.D., KRS-One, The Cool Kids, LMFAO, Del the Funky Homosapien, Brand Nubian, Aceyalone, Mike Jones, Pac Div, Tha Alkaholiks, and at festivals such as CMJ Music Marathon, SXSW, The Dew Tour, MusicFest NW, and NW Reggae Fest.
Animal Farm's most recent album "The Unknown" received radio play throughout the country and peaked at Number 3 on the CMJ Hip-Hop Radio Chart. The album features the legendary KRS-One, as well as Nightclubber Lang from Rhymesayers’ Boom Bap Project, and has been featured on numerous prominent websites, including hiphopdx.com, urb.com, hhnlive.com, and 2dopeboyz.com, among others.
Animal Farm's Next Album will be released on Focused Noise in Early 2010. The single "Back in the Days" was recently featured on NBC during the Dew Tour.
Animal Farm was also praised in Urb Magazine’s Next 1000, which claimed “The animated Animal Farm achieves a classically feel-good tone.”
The album is produced mostly by group member Gen.Erik, but also features production from Mraxai and Universal DJ Sect. According to the Willamette Week newspaper in Portland, "The Unknown is all aces in the beats department". The Portland Mercury also claimed, "Gen.Erik, known in the Oregon hiphop community primarily for his punchline-laced rap verses, makes a name for himself here as one of the best producers from our state."
Animal Farm's "The Unknown" is currently being distributed by Burnside/ IODA Distribution.
"The title of the album, “The Unknown,” is officially misleading... The group’s passion for their work is shown vividly in “The Unknown,” and it won’t be too long before Animal Farm becomes a favorite among hip hop heads."

"Animal Farm keep a true-school aesthetic with a feel-good tilt to their brim. Different flows; warm, bumping production; great hooks; and fresh trade-offs separate the Farm from the pack."
-The Stranger (Seattle)
"...rising regional stars Animal Farm, who quickly are making a name for themselves – Featuring members of Portland and Eugene acts Cleveland Steamers, Soundproof and Money Shot, Animal Farm is a playful and socially conscious collective that will tingle your mind (and sometimes your funny bone) as well as move your body."
-Portland Tribune
"With an effort like this out of the gate, it's a fair bet that these four emcees won't be unknown for long."
-Portland Mercury
"The animated Animal Farm achieves a classically feel-good tone..."
-Urb Magazine Next 1000
"Animal Farm delivers a solid release with The Unknown."
-Okayplayer
"And with Animal Farm's irresistibly danceable beats, charming stage presence and cunning wordplay, it's no wonder that they've managed to wriggle into the hearts of Northwest hip hop fans so quickly."
-Eugene Weekly
