The music team has been often described as the “’hood ’NSync” thanks to their unique blend of Southern-fried rap, hashtaggable hooks and sunny-side-up lyrics. With dedi9cation and lots of hard work, they are on a mission to celebrate “the good life, the family, paychecks, riding in the front seat, good vibes”; a sugar-rush of youthful optimism for an anxious world.

The two grew up with their mother, Bernadette Walker, and their brother, Michael, their father having abandoned his family a few years after the birth of his sons.

Their mother Bernadette Walker was an army veteran who was regularly deployed in different states. Owing to their mother’s job and lifestyle, they moved several times, leaving California for Mississippi and Maryland and finally settling in the military post of Fort Hood in Texas.

They started their music career like a joke, at some point they started practicing, dancing and writing music together at an early age. In Texas, around his 10th birthday, Khalif learned to produce music using Fruity Loops.

When they started receiving their middle school education, their family left Texas and moved back to Mississippi to join Bernadette’s newly found love, Floyd Sullivan, after she left the army. They settled in the city of Tupelo, Mississippi, in the notorious Ida Street housing projects, where their stepfather lived. The young couple had a son named Floyd Jr. Sullivan. To support the family and to keep the boys in school, their stepfather sold drugs.

They yielded to the P-Nasty advise and dropped everything they were doing and came over to Atlanta to launched their professional music career . After some time they teamed up with Mike WiLL Made It to produce their first two songs, “I Dip” and “We”. They released two tracks that didn’t receive too many attention but they didn’t let that bother them too much.
