Edgar Allen Floe is a hip hop artist from North Carolina and a member of Justus League and The Undefined. His name is a play on words of famous poet, Edgar Allan Poe. Mal Demolish, a member of Floe's group The Undefined, gave him this name in 1996, and Floe stuck with it saying, "Edgar Allan Poe was a well-respected writer and storyteller. I tried to incorporate that into my standpoint. He was a dope writer; I'm trying to be a well respected and dope writer, so it all goes and in hand."[1] He has released one EP, 2005's True Links, and one mixtape, 2006's Floe Almighty. Both of these works contain production from fellow Justus League members, Khrysis and 9th Wonder. Floe also produces on these albums under the alias, SliceMysta. Floe is planning to release his first full-length album, The Streetwise LP, in the near future. It will likely be released on his own record label, MCEO Records, just as True Links was. He is also planning to release an EP named Plan U with Mal Demolish.[2] It will be the first official work released by The Undefined despite being a group for over 10 years.
