kon’s convict-ternt-sanga success and T-Pain’s rappa-ternt-auto-tune specialist prowess have made Konvict Muzik a bondafied record label. And while ‘Kon and Pain having been smacking asses on the dance floor, buying dranks and falling in love with bartenders, all while recording enough hooks to put Nate Dogg out of business, Konvict’s R. City (also known as Rock City) has been patiently waiting. As they’ve waited their turn, these two brothers from the Virgin Islands (Timothy “Don’t Talk Much” and Theron “Da Spokesman”) have penned songs for everyone from Usher to Mario to Enrique Iglesias and made a name for themselves through energetic live performances throughout the Southeast.
