We wanted to present a positive message though rap, this is what we settled on.
- Michael Martin
After releasing their debut album earlier this year, the duo have been the featured artists on digital radio station Kinderling this week.
“We've been planning this for a number of years,” Mr Martin said.
“No-one has really done anything like this, so it had been on the backburner for a while but when I had kids it started to become a real priority.
“We want to make it as big as possible.
“Cade and I just sat down one day, wrote some lyrics and beats and took it from there.
“We wanted to present a positive message through rap, this is what we settled on.
“Hopefully we can create a new generation of hip-hop stars.”
The duo have released a single from their first album, 'Glitter'.
Their songs are for kids aged between two and 12.
