MAN!!!! These Boyz are doing it. But despite all the success, these are some of the humblest down to earth brothers there are. They sat down with Free, famous for the Ying Yang Twins video, “Shake it Like a Salt Shaker.”

They still regular guys from around the way,”we still go out with the paint gun in the woods and have fun.” They talk about how a lot of people said in the beginning they were not going to make it. Today they laugh it off, because now those same haters are asking for hooks.

Some of their funniest stories included impromptu visits to the family member of their manager. They also remember a lot of good food on the road.

On their creativity, Sheed broke it down and talked about their creative process. “Meenie he good for waking up and coming down here and putting a banger together…he real focused on the music part”.

Their new single
“Up Through There” promises to capture that same energy they are known for. The album hit stores in the middle of February, look for it, “Still Shop”. Because these Boyz are not going anywhere, except…to the top of the charts, with some FIYA.
