Edan (born Edan Portnoy) is an American alternative hip hop artist from Rockville, Maryland.
Edan is known for his unique take on hip hop culture, where traditional rap songs are often skewed by 1960s rock samples, tape echoes and foreign language choruses, not to mention the off-beat humor and surrealist imagery incorporated via his lyrics. He often uses techniques such as multisyllabic rhyming and alliteration in his music. His mixtape Sound Of The Funky Drummer accumulates hip hop tracks that utilize James Brown's "Funky Drummer," which has been called the most-sampled record of all time. His second album Beauty and the Beat drew approbation for its lyricism as well as the production. The album was also notable for its graceful marriage of psychedelic rock and hip hop.
Edan attended Berklee College of Music from 1997 to 2000, majoring in production. The Rockville, Maryland native had already been experimenting with 4-track and 8-track home recording using both live instruments and a Native Tongues inspired, sample-based approach since 1994. Continuing on this path, Edan completed the officially unreleased album Artchitecture on an 8-track cassette recorder in his dorm room in his sophomore year. The only tracks to be released from this project appeared on his debut 12-inch single Sing It, Shitface in 1999. It was released by the now defunct Boston independent record label Biscuithead Recordings. The single introduced Edan's slightly askew humor ("The principal got nervous/When I ran into his office shirtless") and dusty production style to the world.

Genres: Action, Drama, Sci-Fi, Short,Sex is the reason that we all exist
See the stars made love in primordial mist
Way before the abyss, generated Genesis
The endless kiss, when the Gods put they lips on the galaxy
Stimulating universal energy
Magically, sexually, life was spread rapidly
Vasectomy to decimate the legacy is futile
Whenever I write, I give life to a new child
The music sound nubile
I'm fit to have sex with rap, and probably procreate a new style
Spermatazoa devoted to searching the biological ocean for controllin the ovum
Further than Omega, flow goes extra
Milelage, cause everything is sex & violence
Jet for seclusion and refuge in choosin
The best loops avoided
Lex Coupes and toys and
Techs and tools that infect the school systems
Paint new rhythms like Picasso usin Cubism
New prisms for your eyesight to explore
My life's with Adam & Eve?, the sex for
Connect your rhymes with minds like an amoeba
We could either follow the leader or follow procedures
Either eat it before you secrete a seed in between her
Or leave her screamin fiendin beneath her to please her deeper
So many ways to sex it, with amazing methods
I never paid to get it, I was made to wreck it
I ain't afraid to bless it, cause I slay protected
On stage I'm nekkid, the way I was created (Check it!)
At a show capacity was two hundred forty
Did it to the crowd it was a new sorta orgy
Them other brothers before me approached it kind of corny
So I when I grabbed a shorty yo she wasn't even war for me
That made me more horny, I like a challenge so
Started to alter the definition of a talent show
I knocked it off like a gallon pro
Hit it and switched positions
Lovin this mic, got a rich tradition
Yeah the baddest of the best was affectionate
Romance and bodily kisses before sexin it
Slow dance and pay for the meal, just like a gentleman
Treat her like a lady, hold the door before you let her in
Mental medicine, pencillin for whatever villian infected the mic
With metaphysics with syphillus in it
Cynical critics script it as if I ain't fuckin it right
But all they do is masturbate, they never was touchin the mic
Bust it and slide man, that ain't my style
Get permission before stickin and stay a while
When you hit it it was rape, plus you spit in her face
Talkin shit in the place like youse addicted to base
With upliftment, patience is passe to rapmade
Sing like an usspay that stinks like an ashtray
On this microphone better watch what that ass say
So everybody don't catch AIDS, in the last days
