Anyone know the sales count?

Very cool

Awesome EP

Good for them, I'm really enjoying this EP

Where are they on the BET 106th in the park top 20 countdown.

Loved the EP cant wait for more!

I've been listening to this EP on repeat all week. "When I Was Young" and "Pretty Little Girl" are my favorites.

The EP is great!! My least favorite song was the title track. "When I Was Young" is my favorite. They should release a non rap version of "Pretty Little Girl" in the future though..its not that I don't like that part but it would be cool to have the song without that!

So the EP is officially dogs eating dogs all in lowercase?
