The group also sat down for an in-depth interview for CRWN with Elliott Wilson on Tidal and were featured as emoji’s in an Apple Musiccommercial also featuring “Stir Fry.” The first single from CULTURE II ‘MotorSport‘ featuring reigning first ladies of hip-hop Nicki Minaj and Cardi B showcases the two female sensations making their first official appearance on a song together and currently holds the #1 spot at Urban Radio.
