In July 2002 Mothermix Records released it's first album "The First Born", which was also KGB's debut album. Going an alternative route in distribution, Mothermix Records sold over 1 500 copies through Cape Town taxi drivers in the first six months of the release. With the national release of the album in co-operation with a major retailer in 2003, much can still be expected. 

Apart from album sales "The First Born" boasts a successful track record, merely six months after it's release: 

1. All single tracks that have been released off the album have charted on all radio stations, which playlisted them;
2. Top performers were "Get Money" (No 6), "Kwaito" (No 2) and "Open Your Eyes" (No 1);
3. "Kwaito" was also released on the SL Magazine CD compilation in December, reaching over 16 000 people as well as on www.samp3.com;
4. The album has been nominated "Best Hip Hop Album 2002";
5. "Open Your Eyes" has been nominated "Best Hip Hop Song 2002";
6. "Kwaito" has been voted 13th best song of 2002;
7. All major radio stations in South Africa playlisted KGB, including Y FM and Kaya FM;
8. The album has charted on No 18.
