Thoughts:  I've heard this name before, because the individuals in the group have been here separately on their own.  Deezie Brown in 2021 and Jake Lloyd in 2022.

Deezie happened to see Jake doing a sound-check one time. Impressed, Deezie reached out.  Jake was surprised. He had admired Deezie’s work online as well, but they had never spoken.  They soon realized that they functioned well together and both loved Outkast.  They loved the way that the guys in Outkast never fell into a traditional pattern - sometimes one guy would doing the singing, the other the rapping, but then it could all flip, even within the same song.  So they have tried to emulate that somewhat.  They also love sports and weave references to sport in their rhymes all the time.  Part of why their new album is called Major League.

Before that album, they had (sort of?) two albums - 2021's Geto Gala and 2021's Geto Gala (Chopped and Slowed).  I kinda like the DJ Screw version.  Their top song by streams is from the regular version, "Sumn' to Say" has 18k streams.

Not sure which if them is which in the raps, but the one who starts out sounds just like Drake to me.  Fine, but that track doesn't really just grab my attention.  On the new 2024 disc - most of the songs have no recorded stream count.  The top one is "Homerun Derby" with 5k.

I just really can't get very excited about any of this as I have listened through it.  Not terrible, but also not very exciting.
