Starting out writing just to write lyrics, these two emcees were not always where they consider themselves artist wise today. Both KOFFEE & MC Sum'n Sweet have more so enjoyed making music rather than promoting it, recording it, and selling it. A lot of emcees claim to have been influenced by hip hop and rapping at a young age. Both Koffee and MC Sum'n Sweet fall right into that category. These two emcees can remember writing lyrics at the age of around 8 or 9 years old. Given the time to expand and lyrically grow, these to emcees have grown up writing and recording together. After 5 to 6 years of lyrical growth, open minded maturing, and setting their goals higher. They have gained a lyrical knowledge unlike many 16 year olds in the hip hop game.
From memories of first trying to record from an old digital camera mic. To taking mattresses and building a sound booth using a computer mic. These two emcees and long time friends have been through it all just to make original hip hop music. After years of writing music, cheaply recording it, and doing nothing after that. They have finally began to promote and distribute their music. As to the message coming across in every one of their bars, it is up to you the listener to understand their point of view.
