Zephanyer was born June 6 1999 in a New York hospital, at the age of 6 he moved to east Atlanta and got exposed to the street life.  Shortly after, he began to take an interest in music at the age of 12 and start taking it more serious as he got older. At the age of 18, he started to rap about everything he had experienced in the streets of Atlanta. Shortly after he would begin to make music with his homie Kenny…

As for yaya he was always a strange guy as a kid he sat in his room and watched a lot of anime and spongebob. As a teen, he moved to Wisconsin and quickly was introduced to the streets trying to follow in his bigger brothers footsteps, his mother quickly put an end to that and moved him out of the neighborhood. To a more quiet one where him and his brother Kenny would make music under the supervisor of his step dad. Now him and Kenny and zephanyer make all types of music and they’re only looking to get better in this field!
