Hotlanta newcomers B Boi and B Town are two young MC’s living the life of their dreams. Signed to Jive Records via From The Ground Up Records, the Atlanta natives have set the country on fire with their melodic summer anthem dedicated to the have and the have not’s, “Trick’n.”

Though only new comers to the music business, the duo has already experienced some of the issues that have made and broken careers, with one of the most important of such instances stemming from none other than their first and biggest hit to date. Speaking exclusively to Hip-Hop Wired before their performance at Atlanta’s famed Tabernacle Concert Hall, the duo shed light on the issue surrounding their blazing hot single.

“I really didn’t want to change it,” said B Town, “but we were having some issues and the higher ups felt that ultimately it would be a good move to change the song.”

Originally the song featured vocals from fellow ATLien TI, on hook. But as the group grew, another version of the track surfaced, this one replacing the King of the South with none other than the “Mad Hatter of R&B,” T-Pain. The duo alluded to legal problems surrounding the track, but were not able to elaborate on them. Rather, they offered a more novel and lofty reasoning as their main motivation for the change.

“It was a move that was ultimately made to reach a wider audience,” added B Boi. “T.I. had added a different feel to the track. He brought more of a street savvy feel to it. Pain allowed us to reach a wider market. You hear him on 95.5 The Beat (crossover station) a lot, and that is the market that we hope to each with him on the track.”

Riding a wave of success, Mullage will be coming to millions of homes worldwide as they are set to perform on BET’s 106 & Park on September the 14th. Their first studio album has yet to be named and does not currently have a release date.
