SOB x RBE are back.
Slimmy B, Yhung T.O. and DaBoii sit down with Jeff Weiss and Free on The Truth Hurts to discuss blowing up as teenagers, the pressure of sudden success, what eventually pulled them apart, and how they linked back together and recorded nearly 80 new songs.
The group also gets into the stories behind “Anti” and “Different,” how a DM from Dave Free led to “Paramedic!” landing on the Black Panther soundtrack executive produced by Kendrick Lamar, their Oakland reunion performance, E-40’s appearance in the “10 Summers” video, independence in the music industry, and the influence of Vallejo and the Bay Area.

My group finally back 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They fina fumble quick if they don’t actually develop they craft and learn how to articulate themselves better. They can’t even answer a question properly. I been fans of them since 10 summers ago but it seems like they falling into the same bad habits from back then. I’ll give them some time tho cause they just got back together and tryna catch the wave.
T.O needa be that shining light again🙂↕️🌊
