craze had grown in popularity over 2009, groups such as the New Boyz
and Audio Push
were securing deals with label giants like Warner Bros.
and Interscope
. Romeo had watched this movement evolve, saying "When I was in high school all the kids were jerking". As a result, Romeo
and the College Boyys recorded their first single "FootWork" and released it in late 2009 on the Spring Break
album. But it did not gain success until early 2010, eventually making it onto BET
