The Redland is an independent hip-hop and R&B duo from Atlanta, GA. They mix different genres to bring different sound and avoid mainstream. The group was formed in 2005 by Earvin Rodney (Earv Legend) and Robert Nkosi Evans (Kose) when they both were still attending Morehouse College. Hailing from the Redlands of Louisiana and Oklahoma, the name, Redland, represents much more than a geographical local. It is a concept representing a new paradigm in music.
