24: What makes you Unique as a artist and different from other rappers out now?

2wop: We got our own style, we don’t steal rappers swag, rhyme styles or patterns and etc. Most music today is catering to the Chief Keef lane and swag. Which isn’t for everyone, and its actually on fitting the OTF, GBE, 3hunna movement. S/O to they movement to I listen to Chief Keef and Lil Durk the most out there camps.

24: Are you happy with the feedback you have been getting from people on material you have released?

24: In today’s free download age, what do you need to do to make your self a household name?

2wop: You need to find you a method or strategy and stick to it. We gon just continue to produce and produce more music, to build our buzz up more, and shoot more videos to put on all these sites as this and WorldStarHipHop.com.

24: How do you feel about the current state of the Hip-Hop scene?

2wop: I feel it’s changed since I was a kid, its like dance music, skinny jeans, and skateboarding, as opposed to battle rapping, break dancing, and being real lyrical.

24: Outside of the music, what else are you currently working on?

2wop: I’m working on a Non-Profit Organization to help at risk kids in my community, studying at Marshall University for Business Management, and trying to stay on the straight and narrow path. As well as trying to give a better outlook to the world of West Virginia than the Buck Wild show. Its more to West Virginia than jumping into garbage trucks, and the crazy things they were doing. So we speaking up as rappers in this state and plan to lead a good example and represent our state in our best availability.

24: Where do you see yourself going in 2013 and how do you plan to separate yourself from the other artist out today to get the recognition you feel you deserve?

2wop: I see myself rich, doing show, with a label, and reaching Billboard Charts. We plan to separate us from other artists by doing the things they will not do, like invest in themselves out of pocket. “With No INVESTORS” getting more features, and continue to proceed with more opportunities like this instead of letting them pass me by.
