17-year-old rap, twins and their producer fill MEFeater in on their plan for World Domination.

If you walked past the trio on the streets of Brooklyn, you might think they are normal teens. They hang out with their friends, go to Bishop Loughlin High School, and play video games, but unlike the average teen the trio make music. Inspired by New York rapper Big L, the twins (BG Fire and Fresh Costello) and Nick FRSH talk musical inspirations, their upcoming mixtape and more.

Q. Gabrielle Amani:  “How did you guys meet?”

A. BG Fire: “Fresh Costello & I always knew each other of course (they are twin brothers). It’s a funny story to tell but, Nick and us first met through Xbox live & then the following year we ironically went to the same high school. And we a took the train one day and Fresh Costello(Brent) asked Nick what was his gamertag and then that’s how we found out who each other were and then we became cool ever since.”

Q. Gabrielle Amani: “I know you guys are from Brooklyn, but what part?”

A. BG Fire:  “A 17-year-old discovers big l, though the internet. We’re big fans of the boom bap ear. We love that & Big L just became one of our favorites due to his gritty sound, impeccable flow and delivery.”

 

Q. Gabrielle Amani: “How would you describe your sound?”

A. BG Fire: “We can describe our sound as lost. We feel as we can make any kind of music, whether it’s turn up, mellow, real life situations or for the females. We don’t really go by genres because we try to make music for every crowd, so there’s no title for that.”

Q. Gabrielle Amani: “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

A. BG Fire: “If God spares our lives, in the next five years we can see ourselves performing on stage with the greats. Selling out venues, shows, arenas………. Everything.”

Q. Gabrielle Amani: “You guys are pretty young. When did you guys start rapping and what made you start?”
