An Interview with TFT
TFT are identical twins from Brooklyn, New York. They were introduced to hip hop at a young age by our mother who was a DJ, who got them into acts like Nas, Biggie, Jay Z, and A Tribe Called Quest, among others. These influences shaped their own rapping style. TFT just released a new single, Glue, through Bentley Records. We sat down with them to discuss their influences, who they’re listening to now, and more.
