Albums
The Dark Ages
The Empire was thinking it was time to strike while the iron was hot and decided to start working on the album and had a stockpile of Rik Marvel and Vintage beats to get them started. Before the recording process even got underway 5th and Speak got shipped off due to their military obligations. When things stalled and only 2 tracks that were recorded. Prince imperial started working on his own solo and started producing. He decided that despite the distance that they should go ahead and record the group album. After a little more than a year recording with some done while members were done in Korea, Afghanistan, and North Carolina. The Empire finished the Dark Ages releasing it on December 7th, 2007.
