Robert: The 99 cent store
Robert: jk ; )

gangsters or that we have emotional problems our songs are just like our moods

hop with an almost tired relaxed groove, did that just come about as chemistry
or was the style intentional and strived to?
Robert: I told them to do that
PRP: Haha
Jacob: Yeah in the
beginning we made mello songs and we still do just not as much hip hop in it we
try and stay away from it because I feel it is a big fad and its probably not
