This interview took place amidst the height of the pair’s track “bada bing, bada bØØm” which some people are calling the underground song of the year. In their conversation, they discuss everything from working regular jobs and coming up in Atlanta, being fans of rap battling, making money together before music, studying the greats like Michael Jackson and 2pac, their relationship with Young Thug, almost signing with Playboi Carti & NBA YoungBoy, performing like rockstars, being close with Pz’ and Yung Fazo, and what’s next for the two.
