They started DJing and gaining a name at Dallas clubs. After creating a makeshift recording studio in their mother's cramped two-bedroom apartment, Play ditched his college plans and rented out a space with his brother with plans to build a professional studio and soon, their company, Prime Time Productions was born. PTP was originated during their highschool years; this was a lame attempt at creating a rap group. They released 3 albums before of getting their major deal with Universal Records.
