Plot Holes (hip hop duo)

Plot Holes are an American hip hop duo from Massachusetts. They consist of poet Matthew Little and Eli Burkley. They have so far released one mixtape titled Basement Fire, and plan on releasing more material.

Origin
Prior to starting the group, Little had dabbled in music under the name Ann Xiety, specializing in mostly underground, outsider music; Burkley had been writing her own raps to various beats found online a while before they came together.

Little and Burkley had been friends for a number of years, having met through Little's roommates. While the two had hung out numerous times before, it wasn't until the night of December 13, 2016 when the two had expressed a similar interest in music. Little had been partying with Burkley and his roommate Paul, and decided to show them some of his own music.


 * "Paul was just like, 'Matty, fuck writing, you should produce music!' and that really was the first time I ever heard anyone tell me that other than my cousin. I had two people, and also Eli, who thought I was doing something good."

This was when Burkley confided in Little that she had always wanted to make music, whether it be with someone or just herself. Paul then said they should hang out for the rest of the night and see what happened. So, following his idea, they departed and went to Burkley's basement across the street and played around with different beats and instrumentals Burkley had on her phone, thus beginning production on Basement Fire.

The mixtape was completed after several short recording sessions and uploaded onto YouTube two months after they had formed, on February 17, 2017. They didn't wish to make any profit from the release, as the beats they had used weren't theirs, and wanted to someday make profit off music that was entirely their own (which Little shares ideologies with regarding his own solo music).
