Starting point is 00:01:07 No, you're really from the sh**. That's how I knew. When you hopped out without the umbrella, you said, I know this shit is at least, it can make at least a hot two minutes of this shit all year before this start breaking up. And it just looked like mush after this, man. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:01:22 Yeah. Hours to take it two minutes past to be fucked up. But it would have gone fucked up because it's like we don't wear makeup like that. So it's like a little water. I don't have. about the hair. I'm talking, I think you're talking about that hair. That hair took some time. I ain't seen that since I was young. That's dope right there.
Starting point is 00:01:38 That's a, uh, that's real West Coast culture of you. Aesthetic. Cultural of you. You know what I'm saying? I like that right there. So, y'all go by the two-tone twins. What's your name? And what's your name? What's your name? No good. No, Buena. No, ma'am. Goldie with the foe de, la-la. G-Fo. G-Fo. G-Fo. G-G-Fo.
Starting point is 00:02:00 No good G4. You don't be carrying no damn 40. Only 40 you carry right about there. I'm just fucking with you, baby. I called you with the 40. Why didn't call you that? Because 40 was a first gun that cop. 40 was a first gun?
Starting point is 00:02:15 Yeah. Yeah. How'd you hear about us? I found you. God. Oh, my God. For real. I found you.
Starting point is 00:02:25 I seen y'all online. I was on the explorer. Some just told me that they had to explore on that. Like, I had to explore an accident. And I've seen something on y'all, y'all was rapping. I was like, okay, and they're seeing, okay, there's some L.A. like, they're from the area. I was like, well, shit, you know,
Starting point is 00:02:37 I've been trying to tap into the, you know, Latinos and, like, really trying to fuck with what go on as a culture here in L.A. I don't want to, because I interview a lot of people from all over, you know, and that's why I think I got Dijon here today, because, you know, this is what he likes to do as well. So I was like, okay, this is probably make it better. You know, I saw y'all online. I like the music.
Starting point is 00:02:59 I like what y'all was doing. I like what y'all still for it. I hate up the DM. Let's see if we can get y'all up in here, man. Let's get something going on. You know, I didn't did the Crystal Poppins and Jenny Six-Nines. I didn't did these people, the reveries. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:03:10 I'm like, shit. Why ain't we got the two-tone twins in this motherfucker? Man, what's going on? I'm glad you guys. I'm glad you guys. I discovered you guys from the Vimpa Kha record, and we're going to talk about the remix of that in a minute. That was like my first time hearing you guys,
Starting point is 00:03:25 seeing you guys on my timeline. I wanted to start with an iceberg. who are your top five favorite West Coast rappers all the time? Owee, West Coast. Strictly West Coast. Because y'all from here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:36 And that's why I got you here. Jenny Rivera. Jenny Rivera. But you say rappers or artists in general? West Coast artists. I said rappers, though. Or rappers? Yeah, rappers.
Starting point is 00:03:45 West Coast rappers. So we really fuck with, they, we fuck with Blue Bucks. Okay, that's fine. Yeah, Blue Bucks. Of all time. Of all times. You don't have to just be new.
Starting point is 00:03:57 It's okay. It's just like who we listen to and what we enjoy. Like who gets me in my bag, you know what I mean? Like, it's just. I feel like that's how I'm taking it. Like who I play to get in my bag. If I'm sad and I want to get in my bag, I want to feel like that bitch.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Play that. I put that on. I put that on. Shout to clan. You know what I mean? Damn, honestly. I don't really listen. We don't really listen to West Post rappers,
Starting point is 00:04:17 truthfully. Like, but I get inspired. Like, we just try to be different and reach different or try to listen to different artists. You feel like, damn John Boy? Damn John Boy. I'm my number one favorite top.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Yeah, damn drawn boy. Blueface. That's what I's got. That's okay. No, no, not Blueface. I meant. Damn John Boy, Babyface, Ray, I mean. Blueface, not.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Blueface. Blueface, I mean, Blueface. No, Blueface, too. Baby face, Ray is in Detroit again? Detroit Native. Yeah, exactly. Detroit Native. The Spanish artist, too, El Alpha.
Starting point is 00:04:51 He's a rapper, El Alfa. Okay, see, from out here, he's from. No, D.R. But he's like, yeah, we're all over the place. No, it's just something to be a favorite artist now. Categories is just like, we listen to A lot of music. A lot of music. Okay, cool, cool.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And who are some of your favorite female rappers in the game right now? I like Shai from the Trey. Asian doll. Asian doll. Fake bitch is hero. Yeah, she's from the East Coast. Okay. Hardest.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I really do with Carty and City Girls and Nickymanage, you know, they hard as shit. All that. Like City Girls fell off a little bit. I feel like they got comfortable. They got, yeah. Once you get to that, I'm not going to lie. I could reach that point too. You know, we're coming up.
Starting point is 00:05:32 We touch it back. We're finally comfortable. Maybe we could kind of want to like take a little break or maybe like, you know, not really try as hard as we were grinding from the very beginning because we kind of want to kick our feet up at one point. That's not fair to the fans, though. Why would you lose that hunger? You're right.
Starting point is 00:05:46 You know, I mean, I look at it like if you see what happens to people that decide to take a break or decide to sit back and get lazy on their music, why not push forward? Let's see the things that we don't know. Let's try to embark on the things that we don't know. What I mean by that is we see what people do when they get lazy or they get complacent about things. And they be like, okay, well, I've already done to hit the ceiling. There's nowhere else to go.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Yeah. I always believe there's another place to go. For sure. It never stops. I didn't think about it like that. See, no, that's transitioning over to something to keep keeping your fans entreat and keeping your fans hungry for more. Yeah, that's a good, that's, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:06:24 I think it was the relationships also like, So JT was with Uzi And then Miami Young Miami was with Diddy They got distracted These past couple years as well Whereas it wasn't just music Music touring
Starting point is 00:06:36 That type of stuff They was focused on their relationships Which is a common I want to say mistake But choice I see a lot of female rappers Make it And we're gonna take that into consideration
Starting point is 00:06:43 Because we're still learning From these people So we gotta take note on that Yeah people do go before you So that you can learn from So that's fire That's fire Well we got another one for you
Starting point is 00:06:52 What do you think about Female rappers From the West Coast minus Doja Cat, not getting the same amount of love and support, as you know what I'm saying, those do from different regions. We're not working together, pushing the movement, the movement together. It's always segregated, like, okay, I'm going to just be over here with it. I'm not going to reach out.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I'm not going to be. It's all ego-friendly. It's all ego-driven. Okay. So I feel like if we're more united, more like how these men do. Well, y'all learn it from the seat. No, no, see, that's the problem. in that game. I feel like y'all learning from
Starting point is 00:07:26 that and that don't got nothing to do with y'all. I think y'all got to kind of find your own happy living within each other, you know what I'm saying? Because we see how to treat each other in the rap game, you know what I'm saying? It's you know, step on you to make a bigger me. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:07:42 So you got to kind of, I feel like y'all should find a different type of camaraderie. You know what I'm saying? As a collective unit versus trying to, you know, pick up what the d'I's doing because this is kind of out for themselves. are driving at an all-time high. I'm seeing as more of a...
Starting point is 00:07:59 Sorry to interrupt. You're good. Like, you know how some rappers are the same bitch? I feel like that doesn't affect the business. It doesn't prevent them from... Most times.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Most times. Okay. Most. Us cannot. You can put us in the same room when we get the same... Oh, so it's about relations. Still go back to the same.
Starting point is 00:08:19 It can put it or like, yeah. It doesn't really affect men like that. They could, like, get done. And I feel like females, they're like in secret competition too. I'm just how to figure out. That's one. That's right one. On the sharp take here.
Starting point is 00:08:33 That's a sharp take straight one. That's one. Hey, I had to. No, you chose to. It's all good. It's all good. I chose to. I chose to.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Back to y'all. I can't stand this. I love this. Continue, though. Go ahead. It's just that, is that like. You're politics. Yeah, like they hold on.
Starting point is 00:08:52 We're more women. So it's like we work with more emotions, more feelings and stuff like that. So it's just like that kind of fucks things up. Okay. So in hip hop, there's always been this history of female rappers having ghost writers. I want to respectfully ask, have you ever had assistance with your rhymes or your lyrics at any point? Respectfully. Respectfully, no.
Starting point is 00:09:12 We've never gone to help. That's all we're very, you see on the internet we're like, okay, I can say. I don't feel the help me syndrome coming from either one of y'all. Like help me, help me. Y'all don't seem like the help me type of chips. If I'm not taking grades than F. Oh, you had them on there. I had them on there.
Starting point is 00:09:28 If I had helped trust me, my shouldn't be way better. In former. Okay, right here. I apologize. If Nikki Minaj is an A and you scale it down on their up and coming, that's a SAA. We took it as control.
Starting point is 00:09:41 We don't get mad. We take us constructive criticism because you've been around a lot of RIS. We're trying. But you're saying that the lyricism will be a 10 if you were to get it right. If I were to get help, you know what? You could tell by the femininity,
Starting point is 00:09:52 like the how we come off and the- that we say it's authentic. We fuck up. There's some words that we created to make them fucking shit sound good and rhyme, honestly. So it's just like... Now it's different.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Thank you. Now, fast forward to like now, we're getting to a different type of, you know, we're elevating. Elevating. So we have to accept... Help. We have to accept. If we want to be commercial
Starting point is 00:10:18 and reach those heart, you feel me? Somebody come in and craft a hit for you. And nothing wrong with that. And nothing wrong with that. Dr. Guy does. I'm open for that. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:10:24 And we're open for him. Drake had, what, Quentin Miller, writing hits for him, like, placing the record. The best artist got help. Even Carol G. Contigo, the new song that she put out. There's right. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, but y'all don't look for no help.
Starting point is 00:10:38 No. We don't get to, we don't like having a middle. Like, you know, oh, I need help. Can you? And then it was going to start kind of like stopping access, stopping resources because they feel needed. I was going to ask you, like, what's your guys limits to that, like, from somebody helping you? You know what I'm saying? whether it's, you know, helping you with a song, obviously,
Starting point is 00:10:56 like y'all said, y'all don't like nobody to help you guys. You guys do the shit on your own. Or somebody helping point you in the right direction to open up certain doors. Like, where's the limit for that? You know, are y'all just kind of shutting all that shit out? And y'all want to do it on your own, talk to everybody on your own? Or do you want some help and somebody in the mix that can kind of help point you in the right direction? I feel like once they start kind of changing the entire idea and vision of our song,
Starting point is 00:11:20 that's when we kind of like, hey, like our, vision to get in the way of the vision and they try to be like, nah, that's not going to work out. I don't like that. If you hear something that comes out of my mouth that you think is weak, pull me to the side and be like, hey, that's something weak. Maybe we got to work on, you know, doing something different or maybe say this instead.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Okay, cool, I'm open for that. Okay. I'm open to that. You can take critique. Yeah, definitely. But not overstepping. There is a difference. Because we're artists and we have a vision.
Starting point is 00:11:46 So if you want to come and change the whole entire shit, we're going to tell you no. I should be helping you execute your vision. Exactly. Not trying to change your vision. Yes. Okay, that's fire. That's fire. I'm one to ask you guys, have you ever received pushback for the uses of the N-word in a song before? I know that it is a hot topic in the comments sometimes.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And how do you guys deal with that and what's your take on it? When you say pushback. Like a comment, like, oh, why are they saying that or X, Y, Z? Again, I posted your music. You know what he said. I've seen other books. And I'm not saying it's flood in the comments, but she shows. I'm not even going to let you know.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I kind of wanted more detail because I was actually seeing it as if a song. Like, yeah, I was, I received it as if we have a song already raining, we had an open verse and somebody you send it back and be like, hey, if you change the N word and switch it because I don't want no parts in that or I don't want to get bashed. Has that happened to? No. No. But his question is, have you ever received any pushback from people hearing you using the work? I feel like on the media, not in person, not in person. Only on social media.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yeah. Okay. Like I said, like I said, comments. It's people that don't really know it's on a personal level. I got a problem with it. So, because you pop this shit, gang. Tell them. Because you pop this.
Starting point is 00:12:52 We don't got to pop our people know it on a personal level to where their asses them. They don't got to get behind a camera and act for the camera. Okay. Because it's who we really are. You guys ever respond to the cameras? You just block them out, whatever. Keep going about your day.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Yeah. Got a motherfuckety on her right now. Oh, I forgot you talked about G4. It's in the car. I mean, I got pat down in here. But it's all good though. We got security on you. Ain't nobody pat you down.
Starting point is 00:13:18 You're trying to down. You're doing too much. My, the homies got packed down. But y'all didn't get no, don't do that. We ain't touch y'all. I wouldn't disrespect you like that, though. We wouldn't touch y'all like that. You might have your little purse, but I don't think you don't.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I don't think you, you know, you're going to put something so ugly in something you're trying to make so beautiful. You know what I'm saying? I don't see you doing nothing like that. I think you came here, you know, fair. We got here before them. So it's like, that's how you see us. Anywhere we go, just me and la, and la, me and la. We try to get y'all out the rain.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Like two ladies. A1. A1. No, I'm saying, but like we pull up everywhere by ourselves. And I'm happy to finally meet you because we've been talking online for a minute. Oh, God. I was like, dang, when are we going to meet him? I didn't know you were going to be here.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yeah. We didn't know. Surprise and surprise. I stuck around. So you say you've gotten pushback on the N-word, like you know, I'm saying throughout your lyrics. You know, but you say nobody has fully like came to your face and say, hey, don't do that. Yeah. Correct.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Well, I'm going to tell you all right now, y'all, you know, y'all don't need to do that and y'all don't need that y'all go hard without it appreciate you shard i'm just saying like y'all go hard without it like if if you want to be able to you know get as less of that it on you as possible let your music speak for what it is yeah what's one word gonna cost you i feel like that's gonna cost to your music it's logical i feel like you'd be like oh that's just nothing that can get thrown out tomorrow you i'm saying because it doesn't it doesn't embody our music it doesn't embody what we stand for you know what i'm saying you know what i'm saying I feel like y'all said
Starting point is 00:14:54 because it's just the culture is what y'all come from. Y'all used to hear it y'all around it. Y'all said, I get it. But for your music and where y'all probably trying to go, it might be best to remove it to move to the next level.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I can tell you guys don't mean any harm with it. Yeah, you don't mean no harm with it at all. So I can tell that you don't mean any harm with it. But there are people who may say, oh, I'm going to go to the next song once they hear it. So you miss out on the screen and the screen is a scream. She might be like a bus her down.
Starting point is 00:15:19 You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? If I tell them to bust it down, he's going to what? Buss it down. Buss it down. They ain't going to take that shit wrong. You know what I get it. I mean, you might, but that's two.
Starting point is 00:15:30 That is strike two here on the sharp street. Strike two here on the sharp thing. I'm redacted from the news earlier. Got one more time. Get to the next question, man. It's a two-part question. I'll ask the first part. What's the best part about being a rap duo?
Starting point is 00:15:49 It's a balance. I feel like we're always in sync with each other we just bounce off each other's energy He'll ever did something nasty together? Nah, we don't like sharing our men We're selfish I'm talking about together to each other
Starting point is 00:16:04 No sure I would talk about the men Well you can say fresh Yeah not like three something That's automatic It's automatic It's automatic It's automatic
Starting point is 00:16:14 It's a sharp tag Oh no you know what I'm ass Do you know that? Oh you don't give up her huh You just know that blood I don't know what, yeah, my... No, we're really blood.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Like, blood sisters. We're not a rap duo. We're really blood. Same mom, same dad. I did not know that you guys were... That was new news. People say twins, but twins, though, you're that. Not twins, yeah, this is real, like real thing.
Starting point is 00:16:34 But you're all that. Yeah. Faternal. Same mom, same dad, all that. Y'all don't even look like twins. That's one thing, because we're growing up at the... When we're younger, we look. But now it's like we have different styles.
Starting point is 00:16:44 What's the word for that when you don't look just like, you just like, we just said it. Fraternal. Fraternal, yeah. We're paternal. Okay, okay, okay. That changes everything. No, I didn't ask that question.
Starting point is 00:16:53 He didn't ask that question. No, turn to none of my question. People get, hey, man, people get promiscuous. People are you guys next to you. No, God, no, it's a sick world out there. Yeah. We're not talking about, now that ain't even a joke. We're not talking about two.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I didn't bring that into it. I said that that is out that twins would do that. I don't want to even sit here and think about twins doing that. With that, been saying, what's the most challenging part about being in doing, do you guys ever doing each other? You don't want to think about twins doing that. doing that. Why would I want to think about twins? It's not about thinking. It's about asking. You know, it's not about it. You got it. You got it. But we like being around each other. We're together 24-7. I just feel like sometimes it gets kind of complicated with the same. Sometimes we might have a certain vision. I'm going to have a different one. We're trying to kind of like put it together. Yeah. And it's sometimes doesn't. And we have our moods too. You feel me? Like real life. So it's just like not only are we like actual.
Starting point is 00:17:48 like sisters, we got to deal with each other with the business as well. You all together, y'all take just a little time apart sometimes where y'all need like a little space. Like, hey, girl, I'm going to swing out and do my stuff for a second. Barely. You rarely see that. It's been, what, like, maybe three times since we've done that. Like, you went to the club, I stayed home. But I don't let her go anywhere by herself.
Starting point is 00:18:05 No, I'm talking about just, like, on a normal. Like, I just need a little bit of a long time. We don't get tired of each other like that, though. We're like, we're, no, definitely. She might be in her room. I might be in mine and we just, like, that. Okay. But never, like, I'm leaving.
Starting point is 00:18:17 type of shit. Yeah. Crazy. That's what I feel like we're really meant for this shit. It's deeper than just music. It's like real life sisters and we're not faking it.
Starting point is 00:18:25 We love being around you. You guys have the same friends or do you have like different best friends, different friend groups? You guys, I know that. Damn, that gets, I know that was. It gets her irritating though.
Starting point is 00:18:32 She pissing me off though. You all ain't never going to try to trick me. You ain't go try to her. You ain't go try to her. You ain't go to try to her. They can't do that. They can't do that. They can't do that.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Don't want to die. Yeah. Let's do it. They might have pulled that. Y'all have never tried that? No. They might have put that. I call it Tia Tibera from sister-s-a-s-s-sister.
Starting point is 00:18:54 What if, like, you know, lights off, like. No, because we're always, we've been having different hair, too. Like, you could tell, I don't know. I feel like you could tell. And we have different tastes in men, too. Yeah. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:19:06 You might throw a wig on that day. Who the fuck knows? What's going on that day? Y'all knew a play. I didn't, you know? He going to speak his mind. Y'all know a play I didn't. You know what I'm saying at that point?
Starting point is 00:19:22 Sharp tank. Y'all got me at that point. Would you guys ever drop solo projects? Have you ever considered that? I'm going to drop my own EP. I'm going to drop my own EP. I'm going to drop my own tape.
Starting point is 00:19:33 That never crossed my mind. I feel like I ain't shied with her. Without her? And I ain't shi-out. No, bono. You feel me? We can't each other. No, most I've done.
Starting point is 00:19:39 No, most I've done is a song without her. That's the most. And the video, too. Visual and video. Just a song. A song. Not a whole project. I want to know what's the most.
Starting point is 00:19:48 challenging part about being a rap duo because I feel like we kind of skipped over that one you know because I really want to know like because y'all coming together it's hard to get on in the industry as a group or as two people like trying to come in as a unit you know they're not really fucking
Starting point is 00:20:04 what I mean city girls yeah but they I feel like that shit went that shit came and gone for them I'm gonna give you a real life scenario like a real life hypothetically speaking this is something that me and her disgust and we didn't see eye
Starting point is 00:20:20 eye to this day it's still not you feel me if 6-9 were to come knocking on the door right now yeah that's what I'm saying that and I told Lala like in a situation like bitches that are 9 of 5 we're coming up
Starting point is 00:20:40 we've never never hash it he wants to pick us up okay for the right bag for the right bag musically inclined you feel me for the music and how versatile bro is, me aside from the fuck shit,
Starting point is 00:20:54 aside from the politics, from a 9 to 5 bitch I never had shit. You feel me? I feel like I would. You would take a deal. That ain't never had shit. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:21:05 I ain't taking shit from that nigga. Why is that? Politics, politics. I grew up a certain type of way, nigger, and you did too, if I'm not mistaken. It's a certain code. It's a certain code.
Starting point is 00:21:15 We're going to make it regardless. I feel like that's selling our soul certain things that we always believed in now we're giving it up for the bread I can't do that fucking nigga we falling off fucking we eating sandwiches and we're going to make our way
Starting point is 00:21:28 like we have a certain type of vision and if it doesn't happen with that she was saying no but I'm saying she's not going to go because I'm more so like our vision it's going to happen it might take a little longer but it's going to happen but I wanted to happen exactly how I picture it in my head
Starting point is 00:21:42 your journey ain't going to stop what's for us is going to be for us period is what it's going to come yeah and I respect that you know what I mean So she did have an understanding. You did have it. Hey, if he was willing to pick y'all up, right, who else willing to now? Think about it.
Starting point is 00:21:55 If he got eyes on you. That's what she told me. Somebody else got to be watching too. They're not the only one now. They might not come at the time that he came, but that's not up to you to pull that. That's God's work. But I feel like. Let that shit rock.
Starting point is 00:22:07 No, facts, facts. And I respect that. You feel me like, that just comes down to a difference. A difference. That's an example. That's an example of, like, different decisions. You know, wanted to change my life. A lot of times being fucked up.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Nigger not understanding why this shit's happening to me, but then it starts to dawn on you when you keep pushing. Don't stop pushing. Fuck 6-9 or fuck anybody. If it ain't something that stands on your principles, don't fuck with that shit, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:34 God, ashamed you for that. Your karma will come from that. Trust me, because you picked the wrong thing that really wasn't for you. Pick what's for you. Sometimes you might have to go around the mountain the long way around. You can't always take a shortcut.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Not everybody get that. But it just makes for a greater journey. Don't hold yourself from that. Don't be afraid to have to go the long way round. Facts. You feel me? And I feel like we've already, like, faced a lot of, like, obstacles to where you're just like, bro, we're going to keep pushing through, period.
Starting point is 00:23:03 We always get our way. Don't be afraid sometimes they have to go the long way around. It builds for a better, a hell of a journey. The story matters more. You start to notice when they ask you, how'd you make it? You start to talk about all the shit you went through. Like, damn, I really did go through that. It builds a story.
Starting point is 00:23:18 It embodies itself. Don't rob yourself for that. And you guys said that, well, you said that you were not five. Still is. Okay. So if you weren't going to be rappers, what else would you do career-wise? Oh, we're both in the optical field right now, so we would stay in that. The optical field?
Starting point is 00:23:35 Eye doctor. Glasses? Yeah. Eye doctor, dude. That's what I like that shit. We're going to open up our own automata. Yeah, that's what we're aiming for right now. We just need to touch a bag to open up our optical shop.
Starting point is 00:23:45 We're not going to have a doctor there, but we're going to be selling glasses and help the people. the unfortunate to like, you know, make glasses. We have a little lab. I know how to make glasses and stuff. That's fine. Is that something that y'all want to get into, like, on your own? Yeah. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Because we're in the optical field now. Because you're in the optical field now, like, and y'all in different offices and other people shit like that. That's why I'm asking. That's something that y'all would want to, like, pick up on your own before you open up your own office and start doing your own things from that. So, that's what you're planning. And that's probably the, if all else fails.
Starting point is 00:24:17 We know we're going to make this shit work. Which is not going to fail. But you can do both. Like, Make the Stagian also has, she's opening up facilities back in her hometown, medical facilities because she went to school for that. But she also just international superstar. So you can do both. It's not. I like that.
Starting point is 00:24:34 It's not. It's not. It's not. We're here. Which are? Right now. Right now at this very moment. Did you guys see Sweetie's recent interview where she said that she has it put out?
Starting point is 00:24:44 It's real. It's real. It's real. It's real. Right here. You feel it right. Right here. We're here,
Starting point is 00:24:51 I feel it. A bus down too. I'm touching like up the details. We're here, baby. We're here. Feel it. It's in person, my bad. All good.
Starting point is 00:24:59 All good. So in Sweetie's recent interview, she said that she hasn't put out music in nearly three years because she feels like people don't care for her music. Nobody's caring about her music. Is that exact quote.
Starting point is 00:25:10 How do you guys feel about Sweetie? Do you feel like she's underrated, overrated? Do you understand how she feels like nobody cares about her music? People just care about her music? You just care about her music?
Starting point is 00:25:17 how she look and stuff like that. I did see something about that. I don't know. I didn't know. Oh, yeah. It just came out recently. You just got to give the audience. Like, you just, you're in the game. Like, you can't let up or else you just, you got to give people. Even if all odds are against you,
Starting point is 00:25:33 you got to beat them. I feel like she let up. She let the comments get in the way. Exactly. She, like, really just stuck with the negativity. Y'all been getting bashed all your life probably. So to y'all, it don't matter. That's what I always said. I say shit. Compared to what the motherfucker probably doesn't been through Dejan probably easy you in real life and what you didn't have to go home and lay your head on your pillow on.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Yeah, there's nothing that's social media can say. You can break certain. And I love that. I love being around them type of people. That shit's meaningful to me, man. That shit's empowering. And I feel like we've always been around the underdogs. And, you know, like we've always beat the odds.
Starting point is 00:26:10 And the negativity always comes from people that don't know us on a person. I wouldn't always winning either, baby. I feel it. I know how I feel. I wasn't always winning either, man, in life. Would you guys work with her? Because I thought that would be a fire record. For sure.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Yeah. I can see that. Stop in. You are. You are cracking. I can see that. You know her? Do I know our A&R?
Starting point is 00:26:28 I know our A&R. I know our A&R. I know a day and work on a daily. I can connect that. Yeah. I can connect that. I can connect that. I'm just talking about today.
Starting point is 00:26:36 I talk to Matt today. For us a man. Yes. I'm not a lot. He's like calling it right now. I'm not a lawyer. That's one thing about me. You want me to call Matt?
Starting point is 00:26:45 Call it right now. I'm calling Matt. Call it right now. I'm plugging for him. We're gonna sit here and tell people shit and I'm all on camera, don't do it. I want to open up to shop, man, man, come on. I'm not gonna work for the white man no more.

I do not mean to take up too much of your time, but I'm here with this group duo called Two Tone Twins, two female rappers, and they're sweetie fans,
Starting point is 00:27:37 and we were talking about Sweetie's recent quote in the interview by her not dropping music, and I just wanted to say, can I send you some of that music for you to check out? Could you guys say, hey real quick? Hey! What's the deal? All right, Ben, I'm going to see you that page,

So, um, your live mixed performance of no good G4 went extremely viral. A lot of people, including myself, we're impressed with the flows you two used.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Do you guys remember filming that? Walk us through that day, a little bit. That was hella viral. For real? It went, it was all over the time. Our page is shadow band, so I can't tell if it's like, did it hit the explore page? I'm talking Twitter. I saw on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:28:38 What? It was everywhere. I think I found you. Yeah. It was a sunny-ass day, too. Well, not Twitter. I'm telling you. No, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Like, he was there. Yeah, that's crazy. I'm over here. Like, we don't even. A, the weather was cracking and everything. Like, everything just, like, happened. Only thing that we were frustrated with, though, I remember, clearly. I didn't have anything to fucking wear.
Starting point is 00:28:55 That's why I look kind of dusty in the sweater. That was, you know, like. No, but we just got up and shot it. We didn't really know it was going to go viral. We thought other songs were going to go viral, not that one. That one picked up. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Yeah, it was fire.
Starting point is 00:29:10 He just wore some sweat band sweatshirt. Fuck it. Yeah, at that point. I was in my hair's done. They're here for the music, not me. It was a mic hanging just like this. And then I remember you guys on opposite. Oh, I'm talking about the, oh, no, no, that outdoor one.
Starting point is 00:29:22 The outdoor, the live performer. Oh, I think of the actual music video. No, not the music video. I'm talking about the live performance. I don't know what platform was with, but it was with a platform and you guys on. I was the side of the mic. Oh, yeah, with the little hair. With the car wash.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Yeah, the car wash. Yeah. So y'all was barring up. Oh, hell yeah. It was very impressive. Mm. Okay. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:39 We just got up. We just got up and shot. We didn't really like count on a viral. Oh, yeah, with the homie. Yeah, the Mexican homie. Yeah. No, yeah. That was a good day too.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Right. So we talked about the Vimpacar record for a second. And we're going to talk about the remix. But I remember I wrote, I used to work, before I worked here, I worked at a platform called Ear Milk as a contributor, West Coast contributor writing articles. I remember July 10, 2020, I wrote two-tone twins, linked up with Vix's N-T, Rapturet, Ash, Bia, Ray,
Starting point is 00:30:07 for Vin-Pa-Kah. I have it on my first time writing about you guys on this platform. I wrote about you on Dan Lay before that, but it's my first time running about you here. Damn. With that being said, how did Ray and Ashby end up on Vimpachai remix? I'm going to let you have this one because this was your... Because, yeah, my little play, my little play.
Starting point is 00:30:26 I'm like, okay. You got to say it just like how you... We talked about it. Okay, so we make this banger, right? And I'm like, dude, like we need to have like girls on this. Like, you know, like, one of those morenitas, like some black girls on this. Like, you feel me? So I reach out to Ashby because I know Ashby.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Okay. The vixen. From the vixen. You feel me? We grew up from that, so it's just like, I'm a big fan of Ashby. So then I'm like, hmm, I don't know Ray. Okay, shot to right. Shout to Ray.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I didn't know her around that time. Okay. So I just followed her on the gram, follow her on Twitter. And I was like, you know what? I'm about to just send it. Because I'm always over, I'm an overthinker. I'm like, I don't know who she is. She might come at me like, bitch, I don't know you.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Like, what? She's cool. Yeah, I didn't know. I was just like, you know, I'm about to just take my chances. I'm going to just hit her up. like, hey, I have a song that you might sound good on. And also, I send it to Ashby. And if I'm not mistaken, they didn't know each other.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Ashby and Ray. Around that time, they didn't know each other. So I guess they exchanged, I think I put them in a group chat. It was like years ago. They ended up linking up and recording the song together. That's how they met. Oh, that's dope. Through that song.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Okay, they've done song since then, too, together. Yep, you made the connection there. So I'm like, okay, that's mom. So when that song got sent to me completed, I'll remember exactly where I was at. I was in the bathroom getting ready for work. And when the song got sent to me, huh? Where's you working at? I was working at some optical, some private optical office in Lake Forest.
Starting point is 00:31:48 And my mom walks by and I was like, mom, they just sent me the song back. And I played it and I started crying. I started crying because I was like, bro, I didn't know they were going to show his love like that. They sent it. They did it. And I was like, Mom, Vickson. My mom was like, play the song. And then I played it.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Mom was out, oh, yeah, the jerk. I was like, damn, that's crazy. And yeah, it happened. And it was like a different type of vibe to it. like a Latina type of touch to it. So we're just like it's only right to like kind of mix it up a little bit. They get more global. More west coast.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yeah, all of that, all of that. Fire record. And again, call my attention, I had to write about it. Thank you. Well, let's talk about your new single. Do Minds like this featuring both Expo. And I believe what's that Chink? Chink.
Starting point is 00:32:29 How did that record come about? We reached out to Chink first. Yeah, because I've heard his song a couple of his songs, I was like, yo, he's hard as fuck. Like, we need to get him on Dumas like this. And I saw that he was with X4 a lot around that time. They have a joint project together. Yeah, so then I'm like, yo, like, let's reach out.
Starting point is 00:32:49 So I reached out to Chin. She was, hey, pull up to the studio, pull up and bring the track with you. And I just brought it. I remember, I think he posted some on his story of that day. And that's how I kind of knew that the collab was coming. Mm-hmm. Are you familiar with the female rap group, Cuzzos? Yes, they go crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Go! I need you guys. to do a song because of us. Oh, yeah. Put that together, too, the genre at this point? I don't know them. I don't know them. I don't know them.
Starting point is 00:33:14 I'm not connected with them. Yeah, I just repop their music. I'm thinking y'all, y'all know them. You got to me? People hit me back. All I do is just sitting in the end. Mother can say, man, they like my shit, watch my shit, something, whatever.
Starting point is 00:33:25 They always want that shit. I'll make that happen. I just don't have a number on them, but I could definitely reach out. Because you know, it's different when it's easy. It's like y'all make it happen versus us because they're going to talk,
Starting point is 00:33:34 you know? It's just like when it's somebody behind them pushing and it's somebody that's a big influencer, someone important, they listen. I can connect that. Thank you. But you will work with cousins. No, definitely. Definitely. It'll soon be somebody important.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Oh, man. That's number three. Two and a half. Two and a half? Right. Oh, yeah. I like this. So I still got another half.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Yeah. Half of a joke. Oh, that's cold. That's cold right there. I like that. All right. All right. So y'all was talking about being, you all, y'all fuck with the Blue Bucks clan.
Starting point is 00:34:04 you know what y'all like to do a collab with them you know what I'm saying? Definitely yeah Yeah At one point two It was two people I don't know if I forgot I can't recall
Starting point is 00:34:14 They said we're like the female We get female yin-yang twins A female version of Blue Bugs A female version of Migos Migos We were gonna get called the Migos At one point Because you gotta do some dance steps

Starting point is 00:34:31 That way it'll be official If you get to collab Bluebugs. It's going to happen. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Send it's on again. What type of, what type of beat would you guys need for that collab?
Starting point is 00:34:44 No, I want to get them out their cover zone. So I would do some like them, oh, you feel me? Some Dominican shit. Some Dominican shit. Like a type of sound like that. Okay, something out of the element. And then one of their shit because we could keep up with them on the truck. Bar we want back and forth.
Starting point is 00:34:58 What? One twin, one twin with the other. And we would talk shit on the track. They're not twins But I get right Yeah, yeah Like the top Yeah, yeah

Not everything may mesh, you know what I'm saying? So you want to be able to work with people that, you know what to say, can mesh with your style as well.
Starting point is 00:35:44 But I feel like, you don't want to be sitting there, you know, trying to force it. Oh, true. Because it might not come out sounding right. And it just, I don't think it looks good for your brand overall. Trying to force it. Yeah. But we do tend to get artists out of their comfort zone and adapt to our shit. It's okay to turn some shit down.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I'm just saying, it's okay to turn some shit down. They may not be fitting to what y'all do. Along with the brand. But not, you're right, though. Yeah, come on. It's okay to do that. Because we do got an ear for bullshit, too. Like, okay, that shit don't sound too bad.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Come on. Yeah, I feel you. But force it because y'all know it's just a collab and y'all want to just get it out there. And then you've got your fans saying, this ain't even y'all. Like, what is this? You've got to cater to the people that's been standing with y'all since day one.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Y'all day oners, you know? While getting new fans too. Yeah, while gaining new ones. It's a balance. Yeah. Can't do that one backwards, baby. Let me get your best live show experience And then give us your worst live show
Starting point is 00:36:38 Experience Best live show Best live show Today The one that we did in the We did an upland Or December And you know which one was better for you
Starting point is 00:36:55 The one that we just recently did I feel like that was one of the good ones I feel like that one And then the Upland one when we brought Dre out And we had those old one pieces a see-through one pieces. Yeah, definitely. It was that one time when we were getting
Starting point is 00:37:09 looked at kind of like weird and then like afterwards, after we finished performing, people were just like, oh, y'all shit go crazy. Yeah, they were getting like cold like shoulders. It's been times like that where they, we walk in and people are just looking at us like. Who the fuck is these bitches? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Like they step in. You know, like they probably have like the wrong impression or whatever. Like they've seen us perform and it's just like the love is different. They see our energy on stage and everything. Our crowd control, the way we, our music slap so then they end up changing their whole. So I want to say the upland one for sure. Sure. Was the best.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Was the best? Yeah. Okay, what about the worst one? The worst? I got a bad show. Everybody all artists had a bad show. I was at that show. You were?
Starting point is 00:37:43 Yeah, the bad one. Nah. He bullshit. Nah, he bullshit. Sharp tank. Because honestly, look, to keep it up up, we all have bad shows. We all have bad shows.

Starting point is 00:38:04 I remember. I feel like we didn't get as much love. Like the crowd was just like not. In one city? You remember? I promise you. I just don't, I try to block it off.
Starting point is 00:38:15 You know what it is? No, no, no, no. We opened up for Chief Keefe. That's a number. That's crazy. Yes, that's.
Starting point is 00:38:21 You bombed at the observatory. No, no, no, the wrong crowd. That's a legendary video. So what? Hey, you still did your shoot. We thank you. We appreciate you.

Starting point is 00:38:49 Because, like, you know when certain fans trying to be funny, they start throwing shit up that. You feel I mean? They threw something and they almost hit me. It almost hit Lala. So then I stood in the back. Lala got mad and she stood by the DJ. And then we hope.
Starting point is 00:39:01 I'm going to say we still dead on him. I was on him. I was on him the whole night. What's your nickname? Nana. No, Buena. No, Buena. No, boyna.

Starting point is 00:39:30 I was waiting for my set. And then I waited and I walked to the back with. The crowd was at, I was, I'm going to wait for him. You finished doing your shit, and then respectfully, you walk out. Nobody did it. I'm about to get him here. I got to do it. I didn't know what happened.
Starting point is 00:39:41 I didn't even warn them. I'm about to get this thing. Hey, J23, the homie could say it too. We got escorted out and everything. Yeah, we couldn't perform there after the door. But the securities were laughing, but the owner was like, yo, they got to go. Oh, wait, actually, no, no, because observatory has a different owner. So that was the last time we performed with that owner working there.
Starting point is 00:39:56 And then we opened up for, um, um, um, um, the other rapper, the, the Mexican homie. King Liljee. King Liljee. Okay. Recently. More recently?

Starting point is 00:41:39 They made you a big, gigantic rose and just brought you. Not a rose toy. A rose. A rose. Yeah, it's a female. You have a crush on me. What was that? Because if you say rose toy, people assume that it's a rose toy.
Starting point is 00:41:51 You know about a rose toy. Oh, so I'm blind. I don't have a phone. I never said that. But what do you know, Dejan? I obviously never had one, but I'm just saying that I go on my phone. You see Rose toy. I was just asking, what the fuck did the rose toy mean me?
Starting point is 00:42:02 I would say. I would call that experience awkward or, or like, weird or nothing like that. You knew about it. So I'm just going off of what you know it's not No it is not Dejan I was just asking bro What did that mean to you? Because you knew about it to ask them
Starting point is 00:42:18 A rose sort of mean shit to me What I'm saying is that she's I was clarifying that you're talking about A flower Like a big new flower Not a toy All right Deja We can just cut up
Starting point is 00:42:31 We just cut up Dejaan I'm gonna keep it all the way We just cut it's just cut in it What else? Other than the rose flower, what else have you got from a fan? I'm gonna show me his dick. At a show?
Starting point is 00:42:44 You ain't got that shit in DMs. That's not, too. But it's just like in person? Like, whoa, that you bold. That's flashing. How ain't do it to you? You know what it is too? That Airbnb, we didn't know bro was a fan,
Starting point is 00:42:58 but he tried to sneak in into our home. Who came to your Airbnb? No, not for sure. It was just like we were on a vacation. everybody got like all friends you know what I mean and like one of them
Starting point is 00:43:09 snuck up into our room try to sneak in our room my God try to sneak into a room at an Airbnb yes we didn't know he knew Barry no that's awkward
Starting point is 00:43:19 because it's just like and jacking off too what? Yeah he was jacking off yeah what's wrong with this guy no it's this generation
Starting point is 00:43:26 is crazy he wanted to come see the two-tone twins that was like the best we were in the room man What you think he was doing, church? I didn't see that far.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I was knocked out. Oh, you were asleep? She was asleep. I was locked out. I was awake, like, on my phone, and I'm about to go to sleep. I'm trying to doze off, and then I hear some coming in with a dick all out, jacking off. I'm like, yeah, facts. I only know about this because of her.
Starting point is 00:43:50 That's good. Y'all know what the fuck he was doing in there? Can we got to see the two-to-to-to-twones? Niggia was two-step at beating his meat. Straight up. Do you guys have, like, a hair-warian? wardrobe, nails, makeup, budget, all the, you know, the girl stuff?
Starting point is 00:44:09 Like a budget? Or is it out of pocket? Like, do you have a set-aside budget? Okay, this is what we're going to spend for our makeup hair. Yeah. Just hair. Just hair. Just hair. Just hair. Just hair. That's it. We do our own. Because I don't really like the... Cakeed up. Extra light makeup. Have you ever had, like, a promoter
Starting point is 00:44:24 give you a budget for that, though? Like, this is your hair budget. This is your nail budget or whatnot. We just freestyle it. It's like that's how I feel. It's a type of style, too. And it all boost up the price. But sometimes we ballpark, we do have a ballpark. Like, okay, if I go with this person, it's going to be this much. If I go to this person with this style, installment plus style. Y'all put the bread in together.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Definitely. So if y'all both getting your hair done, y'all think it's probably about good. Like getting like, if you had some install, you think about $1,700 for both y'all died in all. No, definitely, yeah. Y'all both putting your money together. That's how much that should be awesome. You know what I'm saying? Like, so that's a lot of money for an upkeep.
Starting point is 00:45:01 You know what I want to point out. You know what I want to point out. With a 9-05 with no, you feel me? Y'all both put your money in on it. Like, look, sis, he's going to give us half price. If me and you go, I'm saying versus me and you go separate. No, yeah. And then luckily the team that we got, you know, they got family that does hair,
Starting point is 00:45:16 so we get good discounts. And we, you know, we send people to them. They get, you know, referral discounts. That's right. I would assume that it's more expensive being a female artist than being a male artist. A guy just go gets a haircut. But the jewelry, though, and the image got to be on point, too, because if they don't, the tattoos costs,
Starting point is 00:45:33 jewelry costs, haircuts costs, the outfit too. I still think being a female is more expensive, though. It's real West Coast culture right here. This shit I'm used to, like, coming up on. Like, no, I'm just being real. And we love it. Like, it's us. Gold on every finger.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Like, you know, I'm saying, this is what I'm used to. Like, a lot of these bitches, you know, they're running around with real goddy jewelry, you know, big bracelets, things like that, big Cubans. Is that stuff that y'all ever see yourselves being into in the future, or is this, like, kind of where y'all going to stay when you come to this? I want to keep it. I want to keep it. I just feel like less is more.
Starting point is 00:46:03 more for us. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like we've always been into gold, the bust down, the diamonds, you know, all that stuff is cool. Chicks get the bag and they start that shit changes. So I'm just asking, are y'all going to change or y'all going to transition? Manager was trying to get us to, he's trying to get our jewelry pieces designed or whatever and manager was like, no, like get a,
Starting point is 00:46:23 what do you say Cuban? I was like, nah, I want a rollie. That's what I want. I want a roly chain next. I feel like that's every West Coast. I love it. I never had one, so I want one. Okay, okay. So it's just like... I got an idea for y'all, Drew, when you get a ball for you.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I don't want nobody to know, but I got something for y'all like... Make sure you sign that motherfucker so they can engraving that motherfucker. No, for real. I like custom shit, so trust me. I got some ideas, something that y'all like. How often do you guys do photoshoots? I see my rappers, I feel like that is very important to you.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Is it? It is. It's crucial. I ain't going to lie. I think it's crucial. Yeah, you got to do. He got a fucking point. I feel like we don't.
Starting point is 00:47:00 I feel like we don't do enough photos shoots. We don't do enough. I mean, we do the little, like, gutta style, like, off the iPhone. No, not iPhone. I'm talking about, like, photo shoots, we don't do enough. I'm not going to lie to you. Okay. I feel like we haven't really embraced the whole twin look enough.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Okay. You know what I'm saying? So that should be funny getting into that. Yeah, branding and imagery for female rappers is like the biggest, not the biggest, but it's just as important as the music. Making sure that people have those photos of you and those fashion looks. And just doing one photo shoot a month is cool. I feel like for a female rapper. We don't do that.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Female rappers don't know. Mm-hmm. Cool, cool, cool. No, Dejean. What? What, two? Photosho? They don't need to do shit.
Starting point is 00:47:36 What you? I'm just fucking with you. What's your thing, Sharper? Come on, I know. I know. I'm just fucking with you. You got the right idea. I see y'all over here, man, with the Shakaware on.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Oh, yeah. Shaka. It'll be coming through. They made it happen for the twins. You guys been up to the HQ headquarters? Yeah. That's fire. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Shout out to my nigga. L.A. icon, too, man, because I'm just seeing him over there. He's been putting on with him too. You know what I'm saying? My man from food. for food community. I'm saying, that's my guy.
Starting point is 00:48:03 I know he'd have been here. Y'all just missed him. He was here this morning. Yeah, he was here this morning. But, you know, I like that, man. Shout out to Shakawear, man. I like that. They really came through.
Starting point is 00:48:12 They showed us a lot. They made that for y'all exclusive or just, you know what I'm saying? No, I think that's a drop. It's a drop. It's a drop. It's a drop. I think I've seen it too, but I just didn't know if it could have been there's or y'all had something to do with maybe.
Starting point is 00:48:25 If you guys did do a clap tea with Shakawear, what would the shirt look like if you had to like rough design? Come up. I feel like it should be like us, but in like zombie form. Can you create a see? Or probably like half and half. Like I'll do like hoodies.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Living dead girl is among us. Like the yin-yang look. You feel me? Like one side would be like wide. The other side would be black. Like a hood. Like a little tip up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Laft now. Now cry later type of vibe too. It'll be dope. Oh yeah. Definitely. Oh, yeah. I'm trying to come lowrider magazine style. I'll see what you're on.
Starting point is 00:48:56 West Coast ratchet shit, you know. West Coast ratchet shit. All right. So if Nick and Minaj or Cardi B let you open up for their next concert but you can only perform three songs which three would you guys perform? You pick and I'm a pick go
Starting point is 00:49:10 You pick. For real? Yeah, I want to see what your head is at? Your head, where your mind is that? Like when it comes to Cardi B or Nick and Monash what type of sound would you go for? You go first because I got to think about the playlist and you don't think I got to do that.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Listen to me, this is Nicky Minaj, Cardi B that's the first time they ever met y'all or ever even like heard about y'all even being on their shit. So you would want to make a great. impression, just not only to them but to their fans. What three songs would you pick to bring out not only to them, but to the crowd? I got, I got the, I got one too.
Starting point is 00:49:42 I got some. So I'm going to start off with forget your man's, don't dada, and end it with Vimpacaa. Gotta do, got to do Vimpacca. I would do, um, no good GIFO, don't Dada. and yeah, forget your man's or Nola. The Nola one. Pressure world.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Yeah, so you start to think of us. She's like, hold on, there's a couple of mouths. I know it's hard. It's hard because it's all my favorite tracks. Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, I think it's all about this, right? Putting the set in. Even if you've got to cut the songs in half and give them half.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Definitely. We'd be doing that shit. Sharp really good. Nah, sharp knows what's up. We got that time and they'll still get the music even if it's three. We cram on that. It's a good question, what you.
Starting point is 00:50:27 You ask. No, that's real shit because people are going to be on that. Like, you get three songs. What's up? It's not about how the three songs come. It's just you only get three songs. How you finesse it? That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:50:38 It's happened to where they gave us a certain time. Like, your slot is 10 minutes. And when your time is up, your time is up. We extended that motherfucker to like 12, but we crammed the hardest songs and they let us perform at the very fucking end because we had the crowd going crazy. They didn't even shut us down or nothing. You guys have your own DJ, not to cut you off. We do. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Yeah. What's the name? We have DJ Westby and DJ Belize that. Okay, that's fine, that's fine. You guys do show mixes? No, we do it live. We got to keep two, just in case one can you make it. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:51:09 You got to get two. I like that. You just keep it one. Like, we have, like, we create like a rough mix in case anything happens and then we do it live. Fire that. Because I love the way they DJs, so they be, you know, doing their shit, they scratch. We like that shit. We like our sets to be a party at the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Like, we don't want. I want to look like a show or like a performance. It got to feel like it's a party, like a turn-up. I got a party for y'all. Y'all are going to go perform for me? Sharp thing. Sharp tank. You're talking about it.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Say y'all going to come to for me? Y'all say y'all, you just got to be like a party. Okay, I'll throw some cool parties.

Starting point is 00:57:28 No it was not The worst show Was you guys Open up for Chief Keith And you had to get into It with old boy That was not it It wasn't
Starting point is 00:57:36 What was the work show? It wasn't It wasn't There has to be another It was There has to be another one Who was you open for It has to be another one
Starting point is 00:57:44 I don't see that one Or was it No the best show Now that I'm thinking It's coming back to me. King Liljee was the best one at the House of Blues. We ain't going to close the door. The House of Blues was the best show with King Lilj.
Starting point is 00:57:55 When we opened them with King Lil'O G, bro, the crowd was insane. The worst show, though. But the worst show? The worst show, it had to be in our city. At the observatory. I think it's that one. Opening for which artist. Can't remember.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Or you can't remember. It's either him or Grito. No, Grito. We got a lot of love for Greedo. We opened up for him like three times. So it has to be Chief Keith. It has to be Chief Keith. It has to be Chief Keith.
Starting point is 00:58:18 problem with Chief Keith neither. No, we love Chief Keep, we fuck with Chief Keith, but this is crap. I get it, but you had no problem. No, you still was moving.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Oh, yeah, definitely. Oh, hell no. All right, so we have to do it. Yeah. Don't shut the door. No, it was a great one. It was a great one.
Starting point is 00:58:36 It was a great one. It was a great one. Yeah, Chief Keep still was good. That way you can go hop back on there again, man, you can go back on another show. Return that motherfucker up. Maybe it was just the wrong list of songs that we did.
Starting point is 00:58:46 It should have been different. Man. Look at it like that. I'll take that in the consideration. But it wasn't the worst show. No. Chief Keith, you had a great time.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Facts. Great time. I learned from Sharp every time I'm around. And I'm learning out. No, it wasn't the worst show. You'll be dropping some drums for show. For sure. People take it the wrong way, though.
Starting point is 00:59:03 That's the only thing. You're misunderstood. And I feel like we're misunderstood too sometimes. So I'm like, you know what? You're not? Because I'm over here thinking like, okay, he's about to bleed my shit. Like I got to, you know, get it on my egg game.
Starting point is 00:59:12 He knows something that we don't probably. Or he was misinformed with some shit. So I'm ready for the ammo. Like I'm ready for the fucking, but I'm like. You like the music. We're not problematic woman. We're not portraying something. We're not.
Starting point is 00:59:25 This is really us. This is what we're selling. And whoever fucks with it, fucks with him, who don't. We fuck with anybody that fucks with us. I just fucked with y'all. I fucked with the music. And then, you know, I'm sitting there. Dejohn asked me earlier with shit, who are you doing?
Starting point is 00:59:36 Who are you got today? Because, you know, we always talk about what we got going on in the office. And he was like, well, you got sharp. I said, well, you know, I had to do, well, I'd do earlier. It was me Brick and FIFA. FIFA. FIFA. Fifa.
Starting point is 00:59:50 You just miss FIFA. Yeah. I was just up here with her. She was amazing. You know what I'm saying? We sat down with her. We trolled. We laughed.
Starting point is 00:59:58 We kicked it, all the shit. But then, you know, he heard y'all was coming and he said, man, I really fuck with them. I said, well, shit, church. Of course, I played with him and trolled him because I was like, man, you want to play with our day with his nose? It's what we got to do. I'm like, oh, you want to sit down in this interview? I said, nah, Nick, I ain't doing it because you did the exhibit one with me last time.
Starting point is 01:00:15 Yeah, he did let me interview exhibit when it was my favorite interview. So I'm like, I'm dangling for me. Yeah, it was he sat right there and we got a dope thing. He sat right where you're sitting right here? Yeah, he sat right here. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Don't fan out. That's going to take my own views. It is exhibit, though. It is exhibit. No, hey, no, he was dope to sit down with, honestly. It was definitely good. What do you think it'll take to get your duo to go to the next level?
Starting point is 01:00:40 Yeah. It's my next question. You just need that one, that one commercial hit. And I feel like we could take it from there. Because then once we get into the industry industry, and when we start being looked at by industry highs, and we start being ourselves, we continue being ourselves,
Starting point is 01:00:54 and start releasing or start getting shot, start promoting the songs. I'm about to start a record label. Our Western sound, start pushing it. So, boom, we get a commercial sound. We get the commercial song, boom, we blow up. Easy back. Easy back.
Starting point is 01:01:10 I take them, hey, and I put the words behind it myself, church, where I go talk to the people like, man, listen, honey. I just know how to talk. I just know how to walk in the room and I know how to do what I'm supposed to do to get them to the fuck they need to go to, church. That's what that shit be about.
Starting point is 01:01:24 You know, and I just be online just serving like, damn. I've seen y'all shit. I say, damn, I like their approach. I like their presence, man. Listen, I always would want to, and, you know, I think if I ever did start a record label and I brought somebody like them, I want to teach them that their network is their network.
Starting point is 01:01:41 That's very important. And once they learn that, that they got to move around and they got to bump shoulders with certain people. Even if it don't make you no money at the time, get around people, get in there, show them your presence. Yeah, man, show them your presence. Even if it take them six months, even when you thought they forgot about you.
Starting point is 01:02:01 And they hit, man, they fuck around, hit you a year later, two years later, you're down on your last dime, and get you all the way the fuck back up. So it's all about that.

Starting point is 01:08:44 She got the South. No, she did. She was the Kim in the South. But we're talking about. Kim was a Kim in the world. Kim was around one of the greatest rappers of all time. Like, she was a part of one of like. She's a female big.
Starting point is 01:08:58 You know what fucks my head up? She's a female big. I got to give a little Kim. What if a certain shit that we don't know about? And what if there's certain shit that we do not know about? That's understandable. We learn. Because I always go, we go always, because let me, fun fact.
Starting point is 01:09:09 And this is, and I. This is some g-shit that not a lot of people know because people are not going to believe me. We're two Orange County bitches trying to be rappers. People are going to call it that. These bitches trying to be rappers are from Orange County. Who the fuck don't know who the fuck they are? But we were very, very, very hungry, right?
Starting point is 01:09:24 With this music shit. Before City Girls. QC. This was around the time when we were trying to get signed by QC. Because we really fuck with amigos. QC, we're looking for a female artist, one. One female artist. and Coach
Starting point is 01:09:41 QC No P, P, the other one The other partner So there is limits So there is limits You one ain't going to leave the other Even if there's a bag That says hey you're saying
Starting point is 01:09:53 This is gonna Hey we can just sign you Here goes a speedy deal You know what I'm saying? Thanks but no thanks I'm thinking of it with me So there is limits So no like this is what happened
Starting point is 01:10:05 You know how the Instagram pages like the official pages, they'd be like, okay, tag a female that we should sign, whatever, so that we could give them a chance. And then I would say, well, I only have one, we can have two. And I spam their shit. Like, I went up. And this was around the time when I had, like, when it was hard for you to, when having, it was hard for artists. They weren't trying to forget my baby.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Huh? I said they wasn't trying to forget my baby. No, like, it was around that time where people with original followers, when you had a lot, A lot of people paid attention to you. Okay. So I had like 23,000, 22,000 or like 20,000 followers around that time. So long story short, I spam them. I emailed them, send them our music, our best songs around that time.
Starting point is 01:10:47 It was trap shit. I flood them. I flood them too. I know they paid attention because one of their agents or like scouting agents, partners, whatever, A&Rs like my shit. And then no response, right? Later down the line, they didn't sign one. They ended up getting city girls.
Starting point is 01:11:06 end up doing a duo. Duol. This had to be like 2015, 2016. So I'm like, what? Like, you know, so I know people pay attention. You got to me? You're saying that you could have possibly gave them the idea to do a duo instead of just getting one female rapper.
Starting point is 01:11:19 Definitely. Which is what all the other labels in hip hop did before, they would just go get one female. There was not no duels around that time. That's what she's a legend. You don't have to believe me. And I totally respect that because the other people say anything. Your face expression.
Starting point is 01:11:31 I was laughing. Okay. I'm just following. Okay, I get it. So that's that. both was explaining it to me so it put a smile okay yeah I hear it I see it I see what's going on okay we no longer send music out okay we no longer send music out and then oh tag your favorite artist on I mm-mm the last
Starting point is 01:11:48 besides it was blue face why did you sending music out still because that's what they were requesting like oh send your best three tracks and I was ignorant to the game don't work fuck them yeah that's what I'm saying fuck them I no longer want to send the shit keep it moving we yeah we still run it up we still run it up hey somebody still wanted to hear you keep that shit move And fuck that. But now the only thing that makes me feel some type of way is that it's no longer fresh to their eyes. You got I mean?
Starting point is 01:12:12 But it is fresh in the sense where we're really blood. Same mom, same dad, we're actual twins. This is real life. They're friends. This is real life. This is some real authentic shit. I don't think that's fresh. I think everybody's already figured that part out.
Starting point is 01:12:23 I think you were right earlier that when you said like, man, we just trying to make that one commercial hit. Like we're looking for that one that's just going to push us over the edge because y'all already have accepted that y'all are one. and they're not going to separate y'all no matter how much money no matter how much notoriety they promise you they're not separating y'all
Starting point is 01:12:43 it's two or nothing not by yeah it's two or nothing you know what I'm saying there is limits to what y'all are willing to do to get into this game well I am going to send sweeties a and are a few of your songs like we discussed and your Instagram page and hope fingers crossed
