- '(beep) Your Expectations,'
we first started working on this project in March of 2020.
We don't really just want to be, like,
a specific genre of artists, you know?
So, with our projects,
we try to show a bunch of different sides.
Like, throughout the course, you know,
we had "Memphis," but we also had "Hngover."
We had "Last Year," but we had "Fight!!!," you know?
Like, we try to just show all those different,
like, ways we can, we can move.
And for this album, it was just, like, alright,
we want to make a longer project, but we want to do that,
like, in a way better way, like, more polished way.
Show all these different lanes.
So, I feel like that's what this is. A more developed take on,
kind of, that same formula, which is, you know, like,
show 'em everything you can bring to the table
within one project.
Hey MTV News, we're AG Club and here are the top five things
you should know about us.
[Laughs]
- The first thing you need to know about AG Club is
we live with 14 people.
I think that's important because
who else do you know that lives with 14 people?
[Laughs]
- I feel like we're all just, like, connected from
the town that we came from and we kinda were all, like,
the best at what we do, maybe?
So, it was just natural for us to all come together.
And honestly, it's chaos at the house.
- Yeah, our neighbors don't like us at all, they hate us.
[Laughs]
We try our best, but, I mean, come on now, what can you expect?
The second thing you should know about AG Club is
the band consists of Jody Fontaine and Baby Boy.
That's it.
That's all.
I feel like there's a lot of ambiguity when it comes to
who is a part of the band and, you know,
like, people see passion versus past whatever.
And it's like, you know, all this stuff, you know,
like, the change of your members and, like, trying to
to figure out, like, who is a part of the band
was all just a part of the development process that
led us up to this next project, you know?
And, like, this next project is our, really our debut, you know?
So, it was, like, we were just ironing out the kinks
before we got to this debut.
Now, we're at this debut,
we know what it is, like, we know what AG Club is,
and we're moving forward like that, you feel me?
- The third thing that you needed to know about AG Club is that.
We don't give a (beep) what you think.
[Laughs]
I feel like there's just always some white kid
in the comments, like, saying some (beep), like,
"Uh, this person did this too, like," and it's like,
bro, like, who the (beep) are they, like,
we never seen that (beep), like.
I mean, like, it's, like, other, other than, like,
obviously, the (beep) that we pay homage to,
like, Spike Jones and 'The Far Side' and (beep) like
that was purposeful, bro.
- It's, like, the comparisons are fine,
like, we get the comparisons.
But, they be making just like, random comparisons
that only make sense 'cause me and Baby Boy are Black.
Like, come on, bro, like, we sound nothing like them.
And they just like, you know, anytime we got an idea
you know, you got, like, the little white teenager
that does the Bandcamp saying that he invented water.
You know, just because, like, something that we've done, like,
rips, like, something that he's had a dream about.
Like, bro, get out of here, like, you know,
we just trying to live for me.
So, that speaks back to, like,
the whole '(beep) Your Expectations' stuff.
'Cause it's just like, we just trying to do us,
have fun, make music, kick it with our dudes,
and maybe, you know, change the world.
That's all we here for.
We not here to, you know, to be what you want us to be.
We here to do us.
- The fourth thing you need to know about AG Club is,
at some point, we're gonna have a TV show
coming to a streaming service near you.
- Yeah, it'll be titled, 'Dooda and the Bandman.'
Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow.
There's gonna be a huge series aspect with it, like,
we're, we're trying to get our acting chops off.
A lot of people might expect it to be, like, just, like,
some funny, goofy (beep), you know, stuff just 'cause, like,
that's what we be doing a lot of time.
But, we're really trying to take it very seriously, so.
That's about all I can say, I don't wanna spoil it, but yeah.
- We're coming hard.
We're coming hard, for sure.
- Finally, the last thing you should know about AG Club is
we love Nicki Minaj.
[Laughs]
We're Barbz, bro.
Yeah, everybody's a Barb.
If we could get a remix verse from Nicki Minaj
on any song on '(beep) Your Expectations,'
it would probably be "NOHO" with ICECOLDBISHOP.
We'd just add a third verse and have her go crazy,
that would be fire, that'd be -
- Oh, that'd be.
- Oh, that'd be stupid, that'd be, that'd be, yeah, yeah.
For sure, that's solid, solid, solid, Ivan, solid.
Like, the most dope verse from Nicki would be, like,
if she, like, wrote some 'Pink Friday' or, like,
'Roman's Revenge' type, type Nicki.
Like, when she does, like, the
[imitates rapping],
that would be dope, that would be crazy.
Like, all the voices, that'd be fire, that'd be fire.
On some, like, theatrical shit. Yeah.
