We recently caught up with the the ultra-busy California crew known as The Pack who told us about what they’ve been up to lately.

Despite, or maybe because of, the banning, the counter culture teens have grown tremendously popular in a unique way.

“It’s funny and its kind of ironic,” Stunnaman told HiphopRnbSoul.com, “but I think we represent the losers and the underdogs.”
