THEMXXNLIGHT, Indian-Born US Duo, To Collaborate With Rapper Wiz Khalifa
Popular Indian-American pop collective, ‘THEMXXNLIGHT, is gearing up for the global premiere of their second independent release, “Naughty Or Nice”.
This track marks the maiden feature of the identical twin brother duo Luv (Krish Chandani) and Kush (Akash Chandani) of ‘THEMXXNLIGHT’ (pronounced as moonlight) with American rapper Wiz Khalifa, making them the first Indian-born US artistes to collaborate with the rap royalty.
The 25-year-old twin brothers have been a key component of Khalifa‘s earlier releases, but this track marks the duo’s maiden feature with the American rapper on their independent release.
The track’s central theme revolves around a classic teenage love saga, with both the twins taking turns crooning about raging emotions and mixed signals centred around a love interest.
The accompanying cinematic video projects an ominously edgy vibe, blurring the lines between illusion and reality. For the number, the duo has also collaborated with revered Taylor Gang camp producer Sledgren.
Elaborating on how Wiz Khalifa was roped in for the project, Akash Chandani told IANS, “We had actually completed the song without Wiz Khalifa’s verse a few years ago when we started working with Sledgren. At that time, we had no idea that we would collaborate with a legend like Wiz Khalifa. After our feature on Wiz Khalifa’s ‘Rolling Papers 2’, we met multiple major labels to discuss our career and to show them our unreleased music.”
