(Radio.com) Pop/hip-hop duo Timeflies made a pit stop at the 92.3 NOW studios after playing a sold out show at the Highline Ballroom in NYC to discuss the group's past, present and future with Toro who recently featured them in his Battle of The Beats feature against Emblem3.

New York and New Jersey natives, vocalist/freestyler Cal Shapiro and beat mastermind Rob 'Rez' Resnick received recognition for their music via YouTube for their Timeflies Tuesday track covers.

Although the duo both attended Tufts University in Boston, they met at a party over a couple of beers while Cal was drunkenly spiting some rhymes to Rez's beat boxing.

"He's like, 'yo I got this six piece funk band with no singer. Why don't you come down and kick it?' So I came down we played a little 'Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City' and 'I Got Hoes,'" said Cal. "Next thing I know he's like, 'look at this beat, why don't you kick something over that?' We did that, put it on a blog and then started calling ourselves Timeflies� and here we are."

Despite being a bit tipsy, Rez's intuition was spot on. "When he was free styling at the party I was like dude we have something right now," said Rez. more.
