ATL’s hip-hop group Two-9 has made a name for themselves within the underground scene with tracks like “Where The Money At?” and “Scottie 2 Hottie.” After years of doing shows and tours, Two-9 has landed a deal with Mike Will Made It’s imprint Eardruma on Interscope records.
The group has collaborated with Mike Will Made It a few times since 2012, most recently on the song “Everything,” and he seems excited to work with the young emcees.
“There hasn’t been a collective of creative coming out of Atlanta like Two-9 since Outkast,” he said. “They have great energy, make dope music, and they’re always trying to push things forward, not box themselves in. I respect their art, their grind, and their whole movement, and I’m excited to help them take their brand to the next level.”
Also from the Atlanta area, Mike Will Made It is known for producing trap beats for several Southern hip hop artists and has also produced the hit singles “Mercy” by GOOD Music, “No Lie” by 2 Chainz, “Bandz a Make Her Dance” by Juicy J, “Pour It Up” by Rihanna, “Love Me” by Lil Wayne, “Body Party” by Ciara and “We Can’t Stop” by Miley Cyrus.
Apparently in the past, the group had received offers from labels but decided to hold out.
“We’d been entertaining offers from other labels, but it didn’t feel right until now,” Jace explained. “We have a personal relationship with Mike WiLL already, and Eardruma, along with Interscope feels like the perfect place for us to take the next step in our career.”
Two-9 will start working on their first official album. Mike Will will executive produce the project.
“I’m really excited to start the next stage in this video game called Two-9,” explained member Curtis Williams .
