"The Reach", which was sponsored by popular college music blog Good Music All Day, has amassed over 50,000 downloads since its May 9th 2011 release. Their latest release, EP "What You Need," rose to the #1 album on the iTunes hip-hop charts, and also made it in the top ten on the iTunes overall album charts. Their iTunes single "Feel I Bring" made the front of the Reggae page when iTunes placed the song in their "New & Noteworthy" section and one of their latest singles, "Slow Down" was featured on prolific hip-hop blog 2dopeboyz.

SkyBlew
Mario Farrow grew up in Auburn, Alabama; a city polluted with drugs, gangs and violence. Surrounded by negativity and transitioning into various foster homes, it would have been easy for him to choose the wrong path. But rather than succumbing to his environment and dire circumstances, Mario instead chose to use music to soothe his soul and provide an escape. He would freestyle and rhyme to himself, eventually starting to pen his lyrics in 2004 under the name "Young Millionaire."
