About
Foreign Beggars were an English hip hop and dubstep group. Since their formation in 2002, the group's trajectory had seen them evolve from an underground hip hop group to an electronic crossover act. The group consisted of four artists individually known as Orifice Vulgatron (Pavan Mukhi, vocals), Metropolis (Ebow Enyan Graham, vocals), DJ Nonames (James Miller, turntables), and Dag Nabbit (Dag Torgersbraten, producer). Vulgatron and Metropolis combined with Noisia to make the side project and supergroup "I Am Legion". They released their collaborative album I Am Legion on 2 September 2013.
Foreign Beggars made their start producing several singles and albums on their own Dented Records imprint. In 2011 they teamed up with Never Say Die Records on The Harder They Fall EP. Following a diverse series of singles for mau5trap released in 2012, the group released its new album The Uprising on the deadmau5-helmed label. In celebration of the release of the album, Foreign Beggars went on UK and North American tours to showcase their new material in the live arena.
On 9 May 2019, the group announced via Facebook they were to disband after 17 years together, with Mukhi announcing a new solo project, PAV4N, around the same date.
In the early hours of 18 April 2020, during a national COVID-19 lockdown, group member Ebow Enyan 'Metropolis' Graham died in hospital at the age of 41, following a substance-induced psychosis that had led him to fall from the third-storey window of his Clapton flat, resulting in cardiac arrest. In 2025, Graham's former partner reached a settlement with the London Ambulance Service and East London NHS Foundation Trust after they were found to have breached their duty of care by missing multiple opportunities to provide "expert help".
On 29 January 2021, the group's remaining members collaborated with Delhi-based hip hop duo Seedhe Maut and producer Sez on the Beat to release the song "No Enema".
