Out of a clip of the 1970s, the two friends of Papooz were already part 2015 of the revelations in music with Ann Wants to Dance , from their first album too little noticed. When the two meet, they come to leave the high school and participate in the mad project to mount a log.

I. G. and Tupac. It is our dream to be samplable by a rapper because like all musicians, we aim for the timeless can be reached only by trying to make quality.”
