THE SAUNA STUDIO "WHERE WE MAKE THAT HEAT"

The studio is less like work and more like fun. We actually enjoy what we do. The perfect job is doing what you enjoy and getting paid for it. Even on vacation we still work! We cant help it, either jotting down ideas in the CrackBerry, or humming melodies and singing hooks in mini recorders. Never forget a great idea, have a way to remember it so we can lay down when we get back. Inspiration can strike at anytime. It is incredible to have your own lab and be able to record great ideas while they are fresh and vibrant.

THE WRITING PROCESS

Some would say great lyrics is the single most important component to making a hit record. Therefore, when we write we like to go in with that mentality. Great writing is a non- stop process. We jot down methaphors, ideas and ways to use them whenever something pops in our heads. Then when we hit the studio, the music influences our creativity from a writing standpoint with whatever sound we produce that day. We study other people's sounds and write tailor-made songs that's conducive to their style with an "UGLY" twist to it.

BRAZIL

This record is the vacation song. We like to try to take 

you somewhere different in your mind with a song. Its 

funny that its named BRAZIL and we don't say Brazil 

anywhere in the whole song. Usually you name the 

song after what's repeated in the hook. We like to 

break the rules a bit. Its easy to make a regional record 

like down south, west coast, east cost but to make a 

record that can play in Europe, South America, Japan 

and still be hot in the U.S is the challenge. Thats what 

we shot for in this song.

SNOOP DOGG "IM FLY"

-Snoop Dogg Teddy Riley & UGLY-

Teddy took our records to Snoop & he loved them. Snoop says we

"sound like him in the new millennium"... We made 5 songs for Snoop

in one day! The Game wrote on it and wanted to use it as well.

Its still for sell, Holl@ us!

CIROC VODKA

Ciroc is our drink of choice. Have a few sips and loosen ya swag up. Don't have too many 'cause it will knock you on your a** quick. We keep a bottle around the studio 'cause they don't always have it in the clubs! Catch up people...

P.S We was drinkin' this way before Diddy signed a deal with them. He put us up on the lemonade mix though!

CLUB HOP

"Sometimes we start off in the studio all day and make the tracks. Then, we step out to a few clubs at night to get inspired on the hook/song subject ideas. So, if you see us out and about and we're just walking through the club scoping people and bobbin' to the music... we are studying. You never know, you could be the inspiration for our next song."
