Born and Raised is the first extended play by American hip hop duo Smif-N-Wessun.
The EP was preceded by one single — "Solid Ground" featuring dancehall icon Junior Reid.
[2][3] Homer Johnsen of HipHopDX gave the album a three out of five, saying "Fans of Smif-N-Wessun will likely be pleased with Born and Raised.
It is a notable change from their last effort, Monumental with Pete Rock, which speaks to their versatility as artists.
In all, Born and Raised is an amalgamation of reggae and hip hop that displays Tek and Steele's ability to think inside and outside the box simultaneously".
