With a smooth-R&B infused hip-hop base sparked by a desire to challenge rap’s boundaries, the duo Mullage echo the Outkast model, creating prismatic music through the yin-yang clash of contrasting hip-hop minds. While Braelon “B Town” McMullen and Marquez “B Boi” Hutchinson grew up mere miles from one another, the two Atlanta natives didn’t come together as a duo until they were stationed together in the U.S. Navy in the late-‘00s. After each secured his release from the military, the two began performing around their hometown. B Town citing Andre 3000 as a chief influence, B Boi, T.I., the duo’s slick collage of sound swiftly attracted the attention of the latter idol’s Grand Hustle label and Mullage found themselves in the musical majors by the decade's end.
