You best bet we saw our homeboys in Wallpaper. eventually get mega popular. I mean, it was only a matter of time these phat beats and orgasm inducing lyrics would infest the ears of the world via MTV and Jersey Shore (seriously). With a sharp edged and fun-tastic eight-song #STUPiDFACEDD EP (listen to the stream ) scheduled to be released July 26 (with guests Too Short and K. Flay), Wallpaper. can’t be stopped.
