Does your heart not overflow? They’re four best friends who are also in a band, repping their experiences as “people with different backgrounds and nationalities, coming together to create a sound that kids growing up hopefully can relate to.”

They’re the perfect combo of punchy and party, infusing their heavy-hitting beats and blistering brag raps with a massive amount of energy and enthusiasm.

“It’s the kind of music we wanted to hear,” says Beluga, one of the group's members. “We wanted to make it as contemporary and different as [we] can, and also connect to people going through the same struggles as we did. Our parents are all immigrants, and we all came from ethnic struggles, if that’s a way to say it.”

“It’s cool to be able to show people what it’s like for us,” they say. “People don’t get to hear that as much, [so] that’s what we try to do.”
