History

The group consist of two Urdu-language rappers, Talha Anjum and Talhah Yunus.[9][10][11] Both were born and raised in Karachi.

In July 2020, they collaborated with Asim Azhar, Shamoon Ismail, and Raamis on the track "Tum Tum".[17] In September 2021, they released the track "Why Not" as part of a promotional campaign for Pepsi.[7] In March 2022, they collaborated with Faisal Kapadia on the final track of Coke Studio (Season 14) titled "Phir Milenge".[18][19]
