One of these is a lyric video at Clueless is apparently unlikely to feature among the songs on “UR,” Usher’s forthcoming eighth studio album. The song can at least be heard via any of several postings on YouTube. It also excludes those who have no access to the special packs of ‘Honey Nut Cheerios’ which are only being sold at Walmart supermarkets in America. Unfortunately, the track can only be downloaded so this excludes anyone who doesn’t have a digital music device. Unlike U2’s marketing campaign for their latest album, “Songs of Innocence,” which simply appeared in the music library of all iTunes customers, Clueless will just be available to those who actually want the song. Usher’s new single, Clueless, is being given away via specially marked packages of ‘Honey Nut Cheerios’ breakfast cereal. It will come out when everything feels right.” “We’re looking to probably release it in January but no date is set at the moment. “The EP is just a stepping stone to our debut album,” Khalif stated. They deal with liking all types of girls from a physical sense but not those who are only interested in a guy for his money.”īoth songs are taken from their “SremmLife” EP. But the beat is slower and the lyrics are more serious.
“ No Type follows a similar pattern in that it’s still about having a good time. “ No Flex Zone was like a party song,” Aaquil explained.
But their success with that track pales in comparison to the enormous hit they are currently enjoying with No Type. There wasn’t much of an audience at our stage when we began performing but the place was jam packed by the time we finished.”Īmerica was ready to hear Rae Sremmurd and responded positively to No Flex Zone. “So too did our appearance at the South by Southwest Music Festival. “That helped to get us noticed on a national scale,” Khalif remarked. EarDrummers boss, Mike WiLL Made-It, took a personal interest in them and included their track, We, on his “MikeWiLLBeenTriLL” mixtape. We’re still friends with them but after being left on our own for the second time, we decided to just perform as a duo rather than try to recruit another third member.”Ĭhanging to their current name, splitting Ear Drummers and spelling the words backwards, Khalif and Aaquil dutifully moved to the production company’s home city of Atlanta and began working in the recording studio. We had two different third members, Lil’ Pantz and Dre Boy. Executives from Sony and Def Jam expressed an interest in signing them but no recording contract ever materialised. Under their original name of Dem Outta St8 Boyz, and with a third member, Lil’ Pantz, they landed a slot on Black Entertainment Television’s 106 and Park show. The boys could have been forgiven for disbelieving P-Nasty’s apparent enthusiasm. Then P-Nasty tells us to quit our jobs, sign with EarDrummers and move to Atlanta because we were going to be doing our music real heavy.” We had regular jobs, the music was done in our spare time. “P-Nasty came to see us,” continued Aaquil, also known as Slim Jimmy. But his cousin was P-Nasty, one of the six in-house producers employed by EarDrummers Entertainment. The person in question was not even in the music business. We had confidence in our ability but we know how lucky we were to be heard by the right person.”
“We also performed in other states around the south but it’s not like our stuff was going viral online. “We were pretty big among the people back in Tupelo,” Aaquil smiled. Prior to this, the boys had been a big fish in a small pond. This song established 19-year-old Khalif and his brother Aaquil, older by 18 months, on America’s national music scene. Nicki Minaj, Pusha-T and Lil’ Kim are just some of the artists who appear on various remixes of their summer smash, No Flex Zone. “He’s the most famous person from our home town of Tupelo, Mississippi, so it would be great if we could add his voice to one of our tracks.” Elvis Presley is the guy we’d most like to have on a remix of our songs,” said Khalif ‘Swae Lee’ Brown, one half of US hip hop duo Rae Sremmurd.
