![]() How much has the “Rolex challenge” dance craze helped the song?Īyo: We know social media. If you have a song and turn it into a challenge, a lot of kids will want to compete. I feel like mainstream rappers are starting to pick up and understand that social media culture. ![]() What’s the deal with the masks you two are always seen wearing?Īyo: We started off as dancers in music videos for Usher’s “No Limit” and Chris Brown’s “Party.” When we were dancing without the masks, we got comments like, “Y’all facial expressions are funny.” So when I saw a model wearing a Bathing Ape mask on Instagram, I ordered two. It was perfect timing.ĭo you have formal training in dance or did you teach yourself?Īyo: We watched so many people growing up - Usher, Kida, Skitzo, Matt Chad - and all of the old-school and new dance movies like Breakin’ and Step Up. Then we just taught ourselves with a lot of practicing. Is it difficult to do a dance sequence backwards? Teo, you started The Reverse - the idea of doing dance moves in reverse. Teo: I could do almost any dance move in reverse, but to other people it’s real difficult. I made The Reverse way before we blew up, our first time ever doing a promo, dancing to somebody’s song. I think we got paid like $40 to dance to this dude’s song. I did the Nae Nae and just reversed it, like, “Bro, this is gonna look cold on camera.” Nobody caught on until I did it to Lil Yachty‘s song “One Night.” That’s when it blew up. Then you recorded “In Reverse” as a theme song for the dance last year.Īyo: Yeah, that was with Jazze. We met him in the studio and instantly started vibing. He knew that we were big dancers on the internet, so he asked us, “Would y’all like to do music? It don’t hurt to try.” At the time, “Broccoli” by Lil Yachty and D.R.A.M. He had the beat playing and switched it up right in front of us. What’s it like being in school while your career is taking off? He was like, ‘We gotta make an official Reverse song.’ He gave us confidence to record. I had to get out of public school because I’d get stalked and distracted. People were asking for pictures - I’d say no because I’m in school, and then get in trouble because they’d be crying.Īyo: It was my first year in college. I knew going to college at that time wasn’t the move. I was like, we need to keep doing these videos. My dad didn’t understand the social media stuff at first, but now he does.Īyo: Probably the Migos. We’ve been into the Migos for so long, they’re crazy. ![]() We were at the Lil Yachty “Minnesota” shoot and they were there. We didn’t meet them, but they knew who we were.
