Anticipation is a funny thing. In the right scenario, it’ll have you all over the place, clamoring to get what’s coming to you, provided it be something truly desired. In this new exclusive, there’s most definitely a strong factor of anticipation in the air. We sat down nearly two months ago to connect with The Bettie Gang Twinz. These ladies are absolutely no joke in this game. When you talk talent, charisma, and that pure fire we all look for in hip-hop, they’ve got it all, plus more. There’s so many reasons why this piece has been anticipated. For starters, it’s one of their premiere features as they step into this game of music. These beautiful ladies have been working, grinding, working, and grinding some more; to make it to the top, and they’re finally arriving. They’ve got a world of fans already bouncing, looking for their projects to hit. They represent that honesty you look for in a new artist. Their music is just that; honest, raw, gritty, and genuine. They made a strong impression on many, including us. It’s a true pleasure to connect with these ladies as they make their way through the doors of the game.

U.G. Digital: I really appreciate you girls taking the time. You have something strong and viable, and the world needs to see and hear it. Talk about the motivation to be here in this industry? I know you see the difficulties and the nature of the game. What motivates you to pursue this?


The Bettie Gang Twinz: I feel like to make it in this game, you have to strive to make a difference. Anytime you love to do something, you’re always going to rise to the top. We love to do music.


U.G. Digital: I agree. That love has to be there. What factor within you both makes you different?


The Bettie Gang Twinz:We’re glad that you asked that question. What makes us different, especially from females who are always talking about the cookie, we don’t talk about that. We’re talking about ourselves and expressing our lives.


U.G. Digital: It’s dope because there’s not a lot of what you’re bringing. Honestly, I look for your type of artistry in music. More people are looking for those who are talking about something. The ones who talk about more are the ones who don’t necessarily sell as much. So why that conscious decision to go against the norm?

The Bettie Gang Twinz:Our goal is not to blend in. We want to stand out. Once you blend in, you get overlooked.

U.G. Digital: I agree, and love that you say it. When people talk about that aspect of music, and how people are talking the same thing, many are in agreement. It’s funny because you have Jermaine Dupri who spoke out on that in reference to female artists, and het got blasted for it. What are your thoughts there? Are you ladies mixing things up with you music and its content?


The Bettie Gang Twinz:When you say mixing it up, do you also mean doing what the others are doing?


U.G. Digital: Not at all, because just being one hundred, if I wanted what they had, I’d listen to them. Many artists today are why I don’t listen to a lot of what’s out there. So what are YOU bringing to the table?

The Bettie Gang Twinz:We definitely do any style, and it’s basically what we did on our EP. We have different skills we’re pulling out. We show different genres, and switch it up a bit.


U.G. Digital: Which is also dope. So many are stuck on hip-hop, and don’t want to deviate, but you do so much better when you show a variety. I’ve heard so much about all that you’re doing. What’s the impact you look to make?

The Bettie Gang Twinz:Just that you can make it and make a statement without only talking about sex.


U.G. Digital: So before we talk about your projects, I want to go a different direction. I’m so heavy into music because I grew up around a lot of entertainment. I’ve been surrounded by a lot of it, and it’s therapeutic in many ways. I can relate music to many things in my life, and I know that’s what people will look for with you. How will you make music that not only speaks to your fans, but also to your own lives?


The Bettie Gang Twinz:Our music will definitely speak to listeners. Everything we rap about is real in our lives. A lot of people will feel where we are coming from because they may have been in our situation, or vice versa. They will see they can make it.


U.G. Digital: It’s crazy dope. So talk about the project. I know you have a couple of singles, and a full length is coming. Talk about the singles…


The Bettie Gang Twinz:“Lifestyle” is truly about our lives. We show people the lives we are currently living. “Drip A Lot” is another way of saying bouncing thing up.


U.G. Digital: I’m really excited for what you ladies have to offer and what so many people are going to get from your projects. Talk a little about what people will take away from this project as they listen?


The Bettie Gang Twinz:I think people will gain hope. A lot of people know who we are, while a lot are still getting to know us. The people who do know us know that we didn’t come from gold spoons and forks, and we didn’t have what we have now. It’ll be motivation.


U.G. Digital: For those who are getting to know you, what’s the one thing they should know going into your project?


The Bettie Gang Twinz:We’d like people to know that regardless of what’s going on, never give up. There’s always a light shining at the end of the tunnel.

U.G. Digital: I think you’re providing people with real life. I see two young women ho have had their struggles, and they’ve fought the grind to make it. You have a lot to offer, and the world will certainly take notice. They will really relate to you.





The Bettie Gang Twinz:We definitely agree.





U.G Digital: How can people find you online and learn more?
