Their work has inspired a new generation of artists to embrace fluidity in sound and structure, encouraging listeners to venture beyond the familiar confines of mainstream rap.
The duo's process involves an instinctive interplay between production and lyrical flow, where beats often feature unconventional rhythms and textures that evoke a sense of spontaneity. They embrace a DIY ethos, crafting their music in ways that feel both intimate and expansive, allowing for an authentic representation of their artistic vision while pushing sonic boundaries.
