Joe Flizzow's '16 BARIS' has inspired many rappers to post videos of themselves online, including two upcoming stars in Singaporean hip-hop, Fariz Jabba and Yung Raja
Hailing from Geylang and Tekka respectively, Singaporean BFFs Fariz Rashid (a.k.a. Fariz Jabba) and Rajid Ahamed (a.k.a. Yung Raja) wooed the Internet with their '16 BARIS' videos back in December and January.
The BFFs continued making rap videos on Twitter, and their covers of Lil Pump's 'Gucci Gang' shot them to fame
Fariz and Raja each uploaded their own versions of Lil Pump's 'Gucci Gang' onto Twitter, and both received overwhelming support and admiration for their talents.
Fariz's 'Kunci Gang' was retweeted over 12,000 times to date, while Raja's 'Poori Gang' has close to 60,000 views on YouTube!
It doesn't come as a surprise that Joe Flizzow picked up on the duo's rising fame, and invited them to the latest episode of '16 BARIS'
