Within two years of emerging on the scene they had already signed a record deal with Sony Music, a publishing deal with Universal, and played a handful of major festivals.

They are part of the hip hop collective One Day, alongside Spit Syndicate, Horrorshow and Joyride and their 2014 album,* Mainline*, debuted at number 2 on the ARIA charts.

In late 2016 the rap duo came under fire for creating a little mischief on Twitter.

When they were granted the coveted blue checkmark, they couldn't help but pose as the deceased Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, except they were a bit more crude and favored communism a little more.

It was all fun and games until someone brought attention to a tweet that said: "If I had diplomatic immunity the first thing I'd probably do is shoot a cop".

People erupted in fury that not only was there mention of cop-killing, but also that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was having her name besmirched.

Breitbart News's Ariana Rowlands complained to Twitter and the account was eventually suspended.
