Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. What up? You're on set for the Far East Movement video for "Like a G6".
My name is Prohgress and uh Young Hollywood, that's how we do it. Like a G6, we stay fly.
Tell me more about the single "Like a G6" and the whole concept behind it.
We went to the Cataracs cool house and we said, "Let's do a song together." He started making some beats. We're like, "Nah, we don't like that." "Yeah, we like that." Next thing you know, the song just kind of came and we wanted to represent just, you know, how we live, a lifestyle. Sober girls around us acting like they're drunk. Three fingers up. Feeling fly. Sober girls around me, they be acting like they drunk.
It's all about being in the club, poppin' champagne, right?
Yes. If the club owner supplies it, then we're there popping bottles all night.
You look like a champagne popper.
I'd like to actually spray it on people and get it all on girls' backs and all that. You know, they hate me for it, but someone's got to do it, right?
So tell us more about the few scenes you guys have planned for today.
We're going to be uh running around all all around LA. Over here, the Social Trust, also the Transparent Agency where we do a lot of our work. We'll be at the Cataracs loft, doing some party scenes over there. We're going to take y'all for the first time, whoever takes anybody at a music video to Korean barbecue. You love Korean barbecue. You're more than welcome to come. We might pop some bottles of Soju. I know right. We want to showcase Downtown LA because this is where we're from and we believe this is the New LA, so. Downtown LA, here it is.
Now I have to say that the whole dance movement is really taking over right now. Pop, hip-hop, everything's kind of fusing together. How do you guys feel about the evolution of dance music here in the US and how it's become really big?
I think it's cool that that, especially a lot of the new artists, LMFAO, Cataracs, us, uh a lot of great artists are are fusing the two. Music is changing as far as even what's played on the radio now. That is really good for artists like us cuz it helps us get our music familiar. They'll be like, "Oh, I heard that on the radio." Then, "Oh, I heard that last night at the club." Then I heard that online.
Well, you guys just got off tour on a very big tour with Lady Gaga out in Japan. So what was it like working with Lady Gaga? I'm sure it was pretty insane.
She is actually, we were just really blessed to be a part of that tour. And uh if we learned anything, we learned about just how much you really have to care for every detail in your craft. Like when you saw her stage, the way that she performs, like every every note she's hitting perfectly for shows in a row and there wasn't one mistake the whole time.
You definitely seem to have very unique style. So how would you describe it to the viewers?
We like to say we're Free Wired. That means we're free to be exactly who we want to be and uh we stay wired all night. So you know, this this is the perfect outfit to last you the whole day. You can you can go, let's say to a meeting in the afternoon, then you go to a club, do a performance all night, wake up at 7:00 AM, go to a meeting the next day. We're in the exact same clothing. And play for basketball, you know what I'm saying? You can do it all. And and we wear the shades so you cannot see how how deep the bags are under your eyes with no sleep. Because we do not sleep. We work and we party. Yo, what up International Secret Agents? We are chillin' out with Young Hollywood and we are the Far East Movement, FM on your dial. Feeling fly like a G6 in Downtown LA.
