Their March single "#SELFIE" has been certified Platinum, selling over 1,00,000 digital copies. It's music video is the sixth most-watched on YouTube this year.
Its success landed them a nice, multi-album deal, too.

Now they've returned with a hard to classify, meme-able follow-up single, "Kanye." It's streaming exclusively on BuzzFeed today, before hitting iTunes tomorrow, August 5.
(Weirdly, this isn't even the first song named for Kanye — Minnesota rap group Atmosphere also released a Yeezy name-checking single back in April.)
