The Birth is the first extended play by American rapper Rasco. Composed of eight tracks, it was released in 1999 via Copasetik Recordings. Recording sessions took place at Darcman Studios in Oakland and Jam Packed Studios in San Jose. Production was handled by Panik, Protest, Richness and Captain Kill A Mothafucka, with Jon Sexton and Rasco serving as executive producers. It features guest appearances from Planet Asia and Flii.[2]

In 2004, it was reissued as The Birth LP through Pockets Linted Entertainment with three additional tracks between the seventh track and outro. Those songs were recorded at The Poolroom in San Francisco and produced by Philthy and Brisk One.
