Two-9

The rowdy Atlanta hip-hop collective Two-9 was founded in 2009 by anime- and skateboard-culture-loving Curtis Williams, Maurice "Reese" Williams, and Key. Originally dubbed Pilot Music, their group name -- chosen by Key -- simply reflected their year of formation. The trio later incorporated FatKidsBrotha rappers Lightskin Mac11 and Cartier Dave, Retro Su$h! duo Jace and CeeJ, and DJ Osh Kosh. Like Odd Future and A$AP Mob, individual members continued to release their own material concurrently with the collective. FRVR, their first official full-length for EarDruma/Interscope arrived in 2017. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
