2:37
a lot of people wanted it on Instagram first like before TikTok and
2:43
when they use the sound on TikTok the sound was being used on Instagram first
2:47
before TikTok but when they used it on TikTok TikTok TikTok made a way bigger
2:52
like everybody came up with their own dance everybody was doing this dance like
2:57
TikTok just took us all the way through, like, can we kept coming number one on TikTok, number one song on TikTok
3:07
We kept coming at every week, like, I think for like three weeks, starting to came number one
3:13
Damn, did you guys start it on TikTok or did other people start it
3:17
Somebody else started on TikTok. Oh, wow. Do you know who it was
3:25
Um, if this little girl, she got to school with my sister. My sister had sent her song, and she put the phone
3:29
going to TikTok and she made her own video and everybody else started just doing the video too she
3:37
went viral when she made her video she went by her and everybody else was just doing the video too
3:41
crazy so out of all the celebrities that co-signed the record who who was you who were you most
3:50
excited for um i was most excited for drake but because drais big
4:00
But the first person to do it was famous was Jadam. And I loved the way Jani did because she had us on her little YouTube channel like she like this my morning vibe with her subject way like I love it Like Like I love it I love the J video the most because it was generous
4:20
Like, it's something she listened to. Like, she got, she said she got the song from TikTok, and she loved it
4:26
Most celebrities did it because it was a vibrant TikTok. You get what I'm saying? But Jay did it because she said she loved it the song
4:34
That's awesome. How did J-co sign it? it looked like he was doing a he did a show and after the show he did it I think it was a little girl
4:45
him and a little girl doing that's cute I love it um how did you life change after that
4:53
I like to well I can't think about my life changed a lot like I don't know it made me look at
5:03
thing different, like, I see the other side of the world. I used to always say, like, I want to see how I feel like the bill of a celebrity
5:13
but I didn't think, I didn't want to wrap, but I just, I want to see how I feel to be a
5:17
celebrity, but like, I love this side of the world, like, to be honest
5:22
I love it. How many labels were hitting you? Over 30. Like, we was going to a different meeting every day
5:31
Over 30? I got tired. I was like, I don't want to do no more meetings
5:37
Like, I'm tired. The first people, we dropped out song. When they first started going viral, we still wasn't all the way barriced, like
5:47
no celebrities haven't done it, no nothing. Some out from QC hit us up
5:53
Her name is Claudia. She hit us up. Like, we dropped out song in June
5:57
She hit us up at the end of June. We had a meeting with her at QC label
6:03
I think like July the first, like the beginning of July, before July, we had a meeting with her
6:10
And then after that, I say like the end of July, this week just started going crazy
6:20
I love it. What made you go with Epic? We went with Epic because like every other label, like every other label that was coming to us
6:33
I don't know. I don't think they had their best interest in it. Like, they just only wanted, what's up, G-Way
6:38
You understand what I'm saying? Like, I don't know too much about it, but I just feel like, I mean, we did G-Way without no help, no nothing dead
6:47
Like, I feel like this is a career for us. So every other than one looking at it as a career
6:53
Like, I guess I just only wanted to silence for what's up, G-WA. And when we met with Z, Zee didn't ask us like, do we think we can do it
7:03
another song like what's such you way he asked to hear some of our rules we already have he was like he loved this for us for this to just like for us to just start
7:11
reffing made a and we got all these songs and some of them sound good he's like he loved it for us he was telling like what he can do what they can do what they can't do for us like he was just really giving us real and that's what I love and after that I didn't have my mindset on meeting nobody else I didn't care about meeting another label none of nothing because that's what I'm
7:33
I love that. That's awesome. We can't still agree me. And we just said we're going to go with Epic
7:42
I love it. Talk about, I know you guys just released what your name is
7:50
What inspired that record? The video looks super fun. Yes, I had fun
8:02
With that record, We were actually working with Trinidad. And he just said, like, I got these hooks
8:08
I want to try to listen to. So we liked that hook because it's like, I don't know
8:15
It's like it gives us our vibe. Like, with your name is. Like, who are you
8:20
Like, them type of vibe. I love it. What was the best memory from the video shoot I liked in the beginning like the whole video shoot to be honest the hallway scene in the classroom scene
8:36
I love it all. I love all our video scenes. Like, I'm not going to lie
8:42
Like, I have fun at the video. Hell yeah. He might be sad, but I be having fun
8:50

8:55
second is true. Yes, our EP is dropped in February every second. We named it the truth and our first song
9:04
on that it's going to be the truth. We call it the truth because we told a story about both of our lives like how we used to live with a photo wrap

11:11
We used to shoplift and sell clothes. This is what we used to do in our past days
11:17
But it's like years back. Then after that, I mean, I guess we just lived day by day to be under these lives
11:25
that's what I'm saying. Like we didn't go to the studio to be like, man, we need to see
11:30
Can we make a hit and make some money? No, we went to the studio just playing like
11:35
Also, we're bored. We boasting in the house. We're bored. Let's go to the studio. Crazy

12:10
That's funny. I love it. How was it opening for Little Dirk? Oh, I loved it
12:18
Like, I used to always say, like, this is why you want to be a celebrity because I love the flesh, like, the camera
12:24
Like, they made that feel so big there. Like, them kind of school made us feel so big
12:30
When we ran out, everybody had a flash on, like, I felt like I was big as dirt
12:38
For real. Everybody had a flashed on. I was like okay Were you nervous at all Were you nervous all Yeah I was nervous because I like I don know who going to be sitting at watching
12:52
And they like, they got dirty here. They got nudity here. They have a lot of people that they had to all see
12:58
DeMiko. I'm like, I don't know who's going to be seen me at watching this
13:01
But I'm a little nervous. So now I don't know, like they play the, okay, well, every time we walk up
13:09
like when we walk up, we like sit the crowd. we all would be like, what's such you way
13:13
Like, and then they'd be like, de ho's came up with me. And then we said again, what's up, gee way
13:18

We want to work with, like, different people, you know, like, not saying celebrity
14:29
Like, I want to work. I do want to work with celebrities, but I want to work with, like, people, like, that can help us without a rap thing
14:37
You know what I'm saying? Like, you know how most artists have writing. us like we need people like that like to let us know like this what we're doing wrong
14:45
this what we're not doing wrong like what's gonna catch the attention like because we've got
14:52
attention just by saying what's up gee way because that's what we sound normal like when we see
14:56
somebody who we know like instead of saying hey and then we be like what's a gway like
15:02
that's how we say hey but that's how we made that but i just want to keep it going like
15:10
I want to work with people, like, seriously, people who want to work with us, who want to see us win
15:15
Like, I want to do more openness for, like, big concerts. Like, you know, like, we had people have all these concerts in a little
15:27
And we've been trying to get on them so bad. Like, we've been trying to open so bad for a little baby
15:34
All these concerts they don't have in Atlanta, we've been trying to open so bad. And, of course, part of the bad
15:38
I love going to concerts. I go to the concert, and they all would be like
15:43
they couldn't add us because they line looks already. Sent in or however they be saying
15:50
But I just be here, they still be playing a lot of songs there, though. Like, without us performing, they still play all the songs at concerts
15:57
like big concerts. And I love it. But I want to be big, like me or they're rapping, like, ripping my song
16:05
