His music blends Southern hip hop, bounce, and crunk, often featuring playful lyrics and commanding beats designed for choreographed routines. Songs like “Kangaroo Booty,” “Booty Hopscotch,” and “Hands Up Get Low” became fan favorites for their high energy and dance-instruction formats, gaining traction through platforms like Vine, YouTube, and DJ sets across college parties and clubs.
