Audio Push is an American hip hop duo from Inland Empire, California, known for the West Coast hip hop dance, Jerkin'. The group consists of Oktane (Julian Brown) and Pricetag (LJ). In 2009, the duo were signed to Interscope Records.[1] The duo had their first hit single with "Teach Me How to Jerk".
In August 2010, Audio Push released a second single, "Up n Down", which showcases the group's softer side. On this offering, the song has much more of an R&B feel to it as the beat consists of soft piano chords blended with sporadic finger-snaps, and a simple bass line. The song was composed by Boston-based production team, Kadis and Sean. The track became available for digital download on iTunes on August 17, 2010, and the music video was released in September 2010. In November 2010, Audio Push released two singles: "It's Going Up" (ft. Soulja Boy) and "Body Rock" by Mann (ft. Audio Push), In 2012 they released via BLKDMNDS, the singles "Extras" and "Wassup" off of their mixtape Truth Be Told. In 2013, they released a mixtape Come As You Are and signed to producer Hit-Boy's Hits Since '87 record label.[2]
In 2012, they signed with Hit-Boy's record label "Hits Since 87 Inc" a part of Interscope records, run independently by Hit Boy himself.
