99 Percent Go Behind the Scenes of 'Cake' Video, Talk Viral Success: Exclusive Premiere

99 Percent are currently riding high with their new "Cake" single featuring party starter Flo Rida, and today we're excited to bring you the behind-the-scenes look inside the making of the fun video. 

Premiering exclusively on Fuse, the clip shows the Bay Area duo (comprised of Camo and Jay B) fooling around on huge trucks and hanging out with a crowd of teens on a football field. While 99 Percent have been making twerk-worthy dance tunes for years, their "Cake" collaboration finally propels them into the mainstream pop world. The longtime friends, who are prepping the release of their sophomore EP this spring, opened up to Fuse about their journey and where their musical road will lead them.

"It’s crazy because we had the song for about a year and a half before we even released it," Camo tells us about making "Cake." "We were saying in the studio that it would be perfect to get Flo Rida on it. The label made it happen." Jay B continues, "The producers didn’t believe us, that we were gonna get him on the song. And we didn’t meet him until the video shoot and he was super cool. We recorded separately and when we heard his verse we called everybody we knew."

The guys were inspired by their California hometown to kickstart their music career, as almost everyone around them were rappers. Yet things didn't start out so smoothly. "[We met] in middle school. I didn’t really like him that much, to be honest," Camo jokes. "We weren’t friends or anything. He had broke my phone and then I was going to make him pay for it out of his lunch money." Jay B quickly perks up, "That’s his side of the story. But we ended up letting it go and became friends after that." That little rift blossomed into a friendship and later recording songs together.
