First Born is the first studio album by American hip hop duo Eyedea & Abilities. It was released on Rhymesayers Entertainment on October 1, 2001.
Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club said: "The album's high-minded excursions into the realm of being and nothingness periodically lurch into navel-gazing self-parody, but Eyedea's passionate delivery and lyrical skills keep the disc grounded."
In 2015, it was listed by HipHopDX as one of the 30 Best Underground Hip Hop Albums Since 2000.
