And I'm like, okay, cool.
Make a next album.
first thing was called get free it's just like reggae song like not even anything interesting for them they were like this sucks where's the dubstep bang we got dropped i was like it i bought the rights back from downtown and we put that album out ourselves get free was on it um watch out for this was on it some records that just started to get big in europe like america just forgot about without without a major label here it's like it's like impossible back then 2010.
We go to Europe.
I'm like, damn, people like this song.
We go to Africa.
It was like the song that people played at like the Kenyan football team, national team.
Australia fucked with us.
And so I'm like, okay, let's just work on these markets.
Next album, Lean On is the first single.
We put it out.
There's a couple other songs like lighted up on there.
Australia Radio starts picking this record up on Triple J. It's a really cool like kind of radio.
We don't have that kind of radio in America, like kind of hipster radio.
It just gets number one Australia, like after a couple months.
Europe starts picking the record up because, because the small label that we have there, they started like putting money into it.
Eventually America's like, we start charting on Spotify back then.
Like it was like starting to get like top 10.
I was like, well, what the fuck America finally like radio plugs it a little bit, but we're independent.
So everything we're doing is like me putting money in the video, me paying our team at the time.
