And it sounded so good.

It sounded real.

It sounded like this kid is from California and he sounds like Eminem.

I liked the song so much that I took it to a party.

My friend Brian was throwing this big party, and he used to throw really cool parties where he'd have DJs and everyone who was into hip hop in the area would be there.

And so I go into the party, and I gave our DJ at the time, Skinny, I gave him the CD, and I was like, I'll play this.

It's a new American rapper I just heard play this.

And he played it right after an Eminem song.

And everyone was dancing and loving the Eminem track, and then he played that song, and nobody

They were like, is this the new Eminem track or something?

Like they just thought it was Eminem or they thought it was an American rapper.

And so I'm watching the room and I look at Billy and he looks over to me because he knows they're my lyrics and he's just like mind blown.

He's like, oh my God, it sounds real.

We'd beaten every single rock band, every single folk act, every pop act.

We won it.

And the song was getting airplay.

And Billy finally kind of turned around and said, OK, let's do this for Brian.

And so we were on our way.

So we had two weeks to perfect the accent.

And so we made this agreement that we would speak to each other all the time in American accent.
