First there was the buzz about their music video,“Sing For Me Baby” when it received more than a half million views in just a few days on YouTube, then their live appearance on NBC’s America’s Got Talent and now, their Grammy nomination for their single, “GO”.

“Go” is dynamic, sarcastic, fun and full of energy. It is nominated for the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. It is given for quality songs where singers and rappers collaborate. It just happens that the singer is John Russo and the rap is done by his brother Cruise Russo. The brothers are honored to receive the nomination that great artists like Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park and Usher have won.

The song comes from their newly released album, “Right Now”. “Right Now” is filled with catchy hooks and infectious melodies. Each song has its own uniqueness, while still coming together to give you a solid album you want to turn up and blast on volume 11.
