Favorite Pre Studio Traditions

Before the studio, we all link up, usually smoke some weed and drink a little bit. After that we just vibe off each other’s energy and make a hit.

Pre Performance Traditions

We usually start about going back and forth, about which songs to perform that would fit the crowd since not everybody can gravitate to everything. We also talk to each other and give tips about ways to perform to catch the crowd’s attention. Lastly, Trippy usually orders a round of shots and we beam up right before we hit the stage.

Define The Music Industry

To us the music industry is about who you know and not talent. It is a million talented artist that are not on the scene because they don’t have the resources that the next man does. If you know somebody that is plugged in the industry, it will be easier to make a breakthrough. In addition, you got to pay to play, money talks in the music industry.
