In this exclusive interview, we sit down with the dynamic hip hop duo Loyalty Is Timeless, comprised of brothers Controversy and Big D. Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, the two reflect on their early musical roots—from singing in church to performing for family—and how those experiences shaped their identity as artists. Their church background shines through in their ability to seamlessly blend rapping and soulful singing, giving them a versatile sound that sets them apart in today’s music scene.

Family and authenticity lie at the heart of Loyalty Is Timeless’s music. The brothers emphasize the importance of staying true to who they are, resisting industry pressure to conform, and involving loved ones in their creative process. Their message is clear: loyalty, both to family and to self-expression, is the foundation of their journey and their success.
