Two Years Later

April, 2014

Chanel's POV

Me and Nae just got home from school and after our homework we went straight to the studio. 

I went to the computer and pulled up "Or Nah" by Ty Dolla Sign. I really loved the beat and I wanted to remix it.

"The crew coming?" Nae asked.

"Yeah, Day said they just finished their homework. They on the way." I said.

Okay, hold up let me catch y'all up. It's been two years since my parents finally let us release the music. It was a slow build but we finally got noticed for having more than the Carter name. It did help that we had a crew backing us up. 

It consisted of Day or Dasia, she's a lil taller than me. A bit of a tomboy but we have a similar style. She cool as shit. She's the videographer of the group with KP, he's my bla-asian brother. Look a lil like Tyga actually. They do our videos and vlogs. We got Reggie, he a lil on the short side but make up for it with his swag, he does the beats and is our DJ and Cal, he a pretty like skin boy who sings, writes, and produces. Of course Nae and I rap. Well I sing too but mostly rap. Yeah, our crew been rocking since we started high school, that's where we met.

Now, because of our mixtape and remixes we do get booked but, yeah a but, all of our parents collectively agreed that we can only do shows Friday night through Sunday and in the summers. If our grades drop we won't be allowed in the studio or perform. I get it but I think it sucks. So far so good though.

I'm sixteen now and no I didn't have a sweet sixteen, honestly I didn't want one and my parents were fine with that. Instead my dad signed us to Roc Nation Management. Yeah, not the label just management. Shit, I take what I can get. Uncle Ty Ty is our crews manager. We call ourselves District 98. Yeah I know, District 98, but it stuck. Sue me.

I kept replaying "Or Nah" and Nae went to get the door for everybody. 

They finally came in and of course Day was dancing.

"What up! What up!" Reggie said as he sat his backpack down.

"What up?" I said.

Everyone sat down and started doing their own thing. I was vibing out when I heard the door open. I looked and it was my mom and Blue ran over towards me. I picked her up smiling. That's my heart right there.

"Hi Ms. Bey." Everybody else said and I laughed to myself and turned the music down.

"Hey District." She said as she walked in.

She's so corny.

"So Ty Ty's on his way over, he said y'all have a show this weekend." She said.

We was geeked.

"Oh, where?" Cal asked.

"I don't know yet but y'all need to figure out a set list and make sure all your homework is done." She said.

"Ma, our homework is always done." I said. "Ain't that right Blue?"

She nodded. 

"Ma, I got a mix Nae and I did for Flawless. I want you to hear it later." I said.

She just nodded and eyed me.

"Auntie, you gonna come to our show?" Nae asked.

"Nope." I answered for her.
