How would
you describe yourselves?
Eclectic. We were influenced by a lot of different sounds and those different influences help us make music that's different, but familiar. New and retro.

Who are
your main influences musically?
So many! 2pac, Biggie, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Scarface, The Doors, Roger Waters and Pink Floyd, The Doors, David Bowie, Nas... Really we could do this all day. But really just music with substance and accessibility.

What do
you hope to achieve in music?
To create something so over-dope that its shared and remembered. To push ourselves to produce better soundscapes and evolve each and every time we create a song.

What has
been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Not sure we could just choose one, but the moment a stranger recognizes you and let's you know your music means something to them is incredible. So humbling and electrifying at the same time.
