The group gained their most popularity after spinning a dance craze online with a viral video from their song Scoot Ova, which has been copied and featured across the web[1] from YouTube viewers[2] posting their versions,[3] to MTV.com and also Soul Train's website[4] where the trio was interviewed in March 2015. They also came out with another single called "No Time to Waste FT Wale". That music video was shot in the Los Angeles area.
The group made appearances at the B.E.T. Experience, the Verizon Center, My Fox DC[5] and WPCG CBS Local,[6] as well as at the Washington Wizards game.
