BL: We performed a song for my sister. That was beautiful.
What projects do you have out right now?

What’s next for y’all?
BL: The world. This is our beginning. We virgins to stuff like this. This is our second day at this as you can tell, yesterday was our first. We will be doing a lot more of this and more stuff like this. Hopefully, if the Lord says so.
