Rappers Ra'chard "Young T" Tucker and Doyin "Bugsey" Julius had modest success in their native England when their Don't Rush Challenge on TikTok went viral. It remains to be seen how they follow that up. Young and Julius are from Nottingham, England. They started creating music with the help of the non profit Community Recording Studios. After releasing a couple of singles, they scored a top ten hit in England with the 2019 single Strike A Pose. After releasing their debut mixtape Plead the 5th, They decided to do the Don't Rush Challenge on TikTok. When YouTube became a home for more longform videos, TikTok filled a void by creating a home for viral videos of a minute or less. It's not something that old folks like me are interested in but young people seem to enjoy it. The Don't Rush Challenge is a glammed up before and after. You'll see what I am talking about in the video which is a collection of TikTok videos with a funny appearance by Martin Lawrence at the end. The result is that Don't Rush became an international hit mostly through streaming. It's been certified Gold. The obvious question is how do they follow it up. This got them a record deal with Sony but now they have to do something with it. Time will tell. Here's the video for Don't Rush by Young T & Bugsey featuring Headie One.
