American sibling duo Ayo & Teo scored a viral hit in 2017 with their single “Rolex.” Born Ayleo and Mateo Bowles in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the pair grew up with the sounds of Michael Jackson, Usher, Missy Elliot, and Chris Brown. They honed their dancing skills in elementary school, later establishing a popular social media page that issued viral dance challenges. “Rolex” happened to be one of these hits, eventually racking up over 30 million streams on YouTube and storming the Billboard Hot 100. Wearing their trademark bear facemasks, they issued their first single, “In Reverse,” in 2016. They danced in Usher’s video for “No Limit” and at the 2016 BET Awards, later signing with Columbia Records. “Lit Right Now” arrived in early 2017, but was soon eclipsed by the infectious anthem “Rolex,” which echoed similar trap-influenced pop hits like Migos’ “Bad and Boujee,” Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles,” and D.R.A.M.’s “Broccoli.” ~ Neil Z.
