2-Hype don't need an introduction. What u c..is what u get. 2 girls simply elegant and gorgeous doing their own thing...with no boundaries. Writin their own songs, producing their music, working creatively with producers to compose their music to their lyrics. Markey the oldest of the group brings that soulful church voice that is just unstoppable and Princess-Hype the baby of the duo, just hypes and runs all over the stage doing her thang, complimenting her big sis, while spittn sum rap and holdin down the chorus and hook melodies, while hyping Markey. To see them is fresh, new, and tiiiight. The girls are working with some wonderful people and plan to SHATTERTHEBOX...managed by SHATTERBOXENTERTAINMENT.
Why this name?
Our band name wuz the Dymond Girls with three members at first, but the other group members only wanted Diamomds, Fame and Money with no hard work, they had pyscho moms running them and our Mgr. is a kick ass mgr., so she booted them before she would have to catch a charge in Cali...LOL. So it was 2 of us left, she saw the vision of just hyping the crowds, no bootylicious gimmicks, just command the audience with your elegance and style, no need to be half dressed...just do da damn thing, hype it , keep it movn is her phiosphy, so she came up with the name. 2 girls hyping the crowd and thus 2-Hype was born...LOL!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet changes the music industry because your growth as a professional artist has no boundaries. It is a free marketing tool to not only build your fan base but to travel all over the world reaching people without leaving the comfort of your home. It is a mass media cyberworld. As for the mp3, that is "huge", artists can use this feature to collab with other artist across the world for mix tapes, shows, etc. It is the ultimate way of doing business without really "doing" business. Ya feel me..LOL
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, however, it would be in partnership with my own record label 2-hype records. It is always about building a partnership people. It is not always about you...lol
Your influences?
Our musical influences consist of some of todays top much loved influential genuises such as Ludacris for Telling it like it is...Luda is like the Godfather of Hip Hop right now. Luda just spits straight from the heart, leaves no stones unturned and he is true to his art, that is what a real trie artist is. Alicia Keys for showing us yung people how to live our dreams and help one another. Jamie Foxx for instilling in me that you need tools to be in this industry, always wear your tool belt. Terrance Howard for showing me how to perform from the heart and telling me as my mentor to do every job as if it was your last. Will Smith for being just who he is..wonderful. Brian Cox, Scott Storch, and Timberland for showing me success and for dropping those crazy beats that made me want to succeed in this industry. And of course some of the worlds best female rappers and singer ever for opening the door for me: MC Lyte, TLC, Salt & Peppa, Queen Latifah, Shareefa, Lil Kim, Beyonce, Monica, Lauren Hill, Ciera and more. These people are DA BOMB...LOL
Favorite spot?
City Walk, Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, Hollywood Blvd. - it's Halloween Everyday. The ATL where I was born, Chitown, and Washington, DC. Now my fav spot is in Hollywood...West Coast Connections...Luvn Life on the West Coast. as Snoop Dogg would say...It's off the Hizzy....
