The New Boyz stopped by the GlobalGrind offices back in March to talk about their new album "Too Cool to Care," which hits stores and online retailers today (May 17). The follow-up to their debut "Skinny Jeanz and a Mic," "Too Cool to Care" was spawned from the duo's realization that many people may have slept on their first effort, but with a host of guests on their new album ― including Chris Brown, Iyaz, Tyga, YG, Big Sean and more ― Legacy and Ben J mean business.
Also, check out the video interview below where we play charades with the New Boyz!
GlobalGrind: Tell us more about your musical progression from “You're a Jerk” to “Backseat.” It sounds very different. How did you guys go from there to here?
Legacy: On “Too Cool to Care,” we just really wanted to experiment and do different stuff because we felt like we didnʼt show the world what we were really capable of and what we were about in our first album. A lot of the songs were rushed and a lot of them were old songs. We just really wanted to try a bunch of different stuff and at the same time show everyone our lyrics so thatʼs what we did on “Too Cool to Care.” We just really showed our creative side.
Ben J: I mean we were leaning more onto the girls, ya know. Because the girls were like, 'You guys were mean to the girls on the album with "You're a Jerk" and "You Canʼt Tie Me Down.”' But honestly, we were just being real!
Legacy: We were being real because we were young kids in high school and no we werenʼt faithful! You canʼt tie me down! We werenʼt looking for no relationship. But for this new album, we turned a little bit and just had to do something for the ladies.
