After serving, they regrouped in Texas, swapped missions for music, and started building something real. What started as a bond in uniform turned into a collective pushing boundaries in the underground scene—and they’re only just getting started.

We also dive into a wild backstory—Fatal (aka Bert), one of the crew, met our very own Rollin overseas through video games in Japan. That connection turned into real-life energy when they linked up in Osaka for Halloween, just before the world shut down. Now, years later, the vibes are still strong and the vision is even clearer.

With a showcase coming up June 21st, The Working Party is stepping into the spotlight and showing the city what real teamwork looks like off the battlefield and in the booth.
