for a delightful project that has him trading in his dance skills for rap bars. Now, ET is exclusively premiering the funky music video for"Growing Pains," which is Coffey's first-ever single, and the lead track off his upcoming debut EP,Coffey and Chmerkovskiy shared the story of how the collaboration came to be in an exclusive chat with ET last week.
"I'm excited for the world to see Teddy do his thing as a musician; it's been a long time coming," Chmerkovskiy added. "I'm grateful to have been a small part of his project, and hopefully it excites my fans to check it out." "Fast-forward maybe a year later, he's really doing it!" he continued. "He sent this song over and was like, 'Hey, check this out, tell me what you think.' And I was like, 'This is actually a really dope sound. I wrote a little something to it, you know, just vibing to it. If you like it, cool.' I had no intentions of actually recording anything for this song, but he loved it. And he was like, 'Yo, let's do it.
"Hip hop was the sound of the streets that I grew up in, and obviously Biggie [Smalls] was the Jesus of that era," he recalled."I grew up listening to Biggie, I grew up listening to New York City sounds. But I love all genres of hip hop. I like storytelling, and the New York poets kinda told the best stories, for me, at least. So Biggie, Nas, Big L, Wu-Tang Clan. These are some of the artists I grew up listening to.
