VirgoTwins was founded in 2022 by San Diego/Tijuana-based MC Gilead7 (of Chicago hip-hop act Tomorrow Kings) and San Diego-based producer Boricua Sandy.
Gilead has served as an assistant professor of philosophy at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, teaching hip-hop Culture as a global philosophy of life and social justice. He authored a book called Underground Rap as Religion: A Theopoetic Examination of a Process Aesthetic Religion. Boricua Sandy's instrumental production has been heard in music from the FiveSe7ven Collective, including a collaboration with J57, and her own release Indigenous Goddess.
Their VirgoTwins album ArtSpace was released in April 2023 via Damn That Noise/Expanded Art, preceded by a single and video for “Unspoken” (Feat. DJ Presyce).
