Ascendant boundary-pushing duo ET Boys are back to shake things up with their latest release, “Metroid Freestyle” out March 7th. Fusing underground hip-hop, nu-metal grit, and trap-infused beats this electrifying single showcases the signature chemistry between Tacboy (vocals) and Sharkeyes (producer), two Latino brothers whose “Nu Pop Melodic Rap” sound continues to defy expectations. “Metroid Freestyle” delivers an unfiltered, raw intensity—melancholic synth melodies intertwining with distorted, lo-fi guitar textures. Paired with Tacboy’s dynamic flow, seamlessly shifting between rapid-fire verses and haunting melodic hooks, the duo has conjured up an undeniable earworm poised for heavy rotation.
Adding to the track’s heavyweight production, ET Boys enlisted GRAMMY-winning producer Drew Correa (Lil Wayne, Pitbull, Rick Ross, Trina, Swizz Beatz). The resident Young Money Entertainment/Cash Money Records engineer behind Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter II and Birdman and Lil Wayne’s Like Father Like Son, Correa reunites with ET Boys after producing “Love Me If You Must” and “Hell of a Night,” bringing his signature polish to their ever-evolving sound.
With Tacboy describing the track as an embodiment of “beautiful production and pure power,” “Metroid Freestyle” is poised to fuel ET Boys’ unstoppable momentum and add to their remarkable run of successes. The pair has already made a splash in the indie music scene, achieving three #1 hits on the Digital Radio Tracker Independent Charts with tracks like “Bong Bong,” “This Is Us,” and “Until Forever”—the latter also claiming the top spot on the Untapped KAZI Austin chart. Several of their songs, including “Love Me If You Must,” continue to climb the DRT Global, Independent, and Hip Hop Charts. Their debut single “Sober” amassed over 1 million streams on Spotify, and their first album, Forever Night, has crossed the 3 million-stream mark. Their 2024 EP Paopu quickly hit 1 million streams on Spotify, helping them grow to over 117k monthly listeners.
Hailing from South Florida’s Miami-Broward scene, ET Boys’ Tacboy leads as the vocalist and lyricist, crafting melodies and lyrics for songs written and performed by his brother, Sharkeyes. Both trained in piano from a young age—Tacboy also on guitar, Sharkeyes on drums—they performed in church and school before heading to college. There, an unexpected collaboration emerged: Sharkeyes shared his compositions, and Tacboy added vocals and lyrics. In under two years, they created over 30 songs, catching the attention of Pepper Gomez, who signed them to Wake Up! Music in 2021.
Tacboy, a signed model, embodies the spirit of Jim Morrison with a magnetic presence, effortlessly weaving poetry into music—often in a single take. As the frontman of ET Boys, he captivates with his voice, lyrics, and striking look while also exploring solo projects in Nu House and Alt genres. Behind the scenes, Sharkeyes crafts the tracks Tacboy brings to life, blending diverse influences with signature drum beats and layered melodies. A composer, producer, classical pianist, and live drummer, Sharkeyes remains the enigmatic force behind the mask, his Megaman physique, Virgin Mary tattoo, and intense style adding to his mystique.
With “Metroid Freestyle,” Tacboy and Sharkeyes further shape the ET Boys’ dynamic sound. Their deep bond fuels a seamless fusion of genres, pushing musical boundaries with each release. As they carve their own lane, ET Boys stand as a testament to artistic connection and brotherhood, delivering bold and innovative music as they gear up for their next full-length album in 2025.
