2. Yeah, they have opened up for...

....they have played with Aerosmith, The Eagles, Stevie Nicks, Linkin Park, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Kanye West, Nas, Fabolous, Ciara, Fat Joe, Lil' Wayne, just to name a few.

They used their musical talents to earn a scholarship to college, and are amazing at what they have achieved. They help middle and high school students get exposed to arts and music and get the same chances they got, and push them to succeed; and they have been given an award by the Brooklyn Center for Performing Arts for that awesome work.

3. Annoying over all, but nice to see an actual musician on a rap stage.

4. I am now too old...

because it sounds like a bunch of noise to me.
I am glad that the younger generation seems to like them.

5. Maybe not too old for THIS bit of violin playing...
