[edit] Biography
When they were six, the twins' father abandoned them, which was followed closely by their mother being diagnosed with terminal cancer (tumors were discovered in 2004 and 2006). The boys were expelled from school and essentially had to rely on each other to survive. Having been involved in music since they were ten years old, they have used it as a tool to help get through their struggles.
Eventually, they were discovered by Tommy Boy Records, and they scored a major deal through them and management company Monopoly Music. Today, 2XL realizes that music can help them get past the struggles they have already endured. Laze says, "We're at a point in our lives where we had two paths. You can go the right way or the wrong way, but right now we're being home-schooled and getting straight As, and we have our mom. We're not looking to go the wrong way - we're obligated to take care of her. That makes us work twice as hard."
