The duo achieved a breakthrough with their 2013 mixtape "Young Kingz," receiving widespread acclaim and even breaking a world record for highest-charting UK rap album at the time. They continued to build on their momentum with a string of successful releases culminating in their debut album "The Long Way Home" in 2015, which featured prominent artists and hit the top of the UK Albums Chart.
