J.Cola, 1/3 of CBC, teams up with Forestville, MD native Dutch Sponge Sweetz to form a Pimpin’, Playin’ and Mackin’ super group.

Teaming up 3 years ago, they had an almost instant chemistry which would lead you to believe they have been working together for years on end. These two are able to stand out due to their creative and complex compositions about love, lust and the hard life of women on the street. Using real life experiences combined with compelling stories, Sponge and Cola have managed to find the perfect combination that excites the interest of both males and females.
