Both of us were known for our in your face lyrical styles of tackling social and political issues, as well as trying to take our message, and performance to a higher level. We both have the same drive and ambition so it only made sense to join forces. We mesh so well lyrically.
We perform mostly in the United States on the East Coast. We are presently attempting to find venues in Europe or Asia who would be interested in booking us. We absolutely love performing because the rush is a fantastic high. The combination of performing, and getting a message out to people is a phenomenal feeling.
