Black Caviar is a Grammy-nominated, double platinum dance music duo from New York City, made up of producers Troy Hinson and Jared Piccone. The two met while working as mall Santas and bonded over grindcore metal, al pastor tacos, and ways of coping with seasonal depression. After a few failed ventures—including a lasagna food truck—they turned to music as a last resort. 

Since 2015, Black Caviar has become known for their bold, genre-blending sound—fusing electro-funk, house, disco, hip-hop, booty bass, and Latin rhythms. Their breakout single “Coco” earned over 20 million Spotify streams, followed by “What’s Up Danger” with Blackway, featured on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, earning them a Grammy nomination and Double Platinum certification. 

With over 500 million Spotify streams, they’ve released music on Republic, Toolroom, Spinnin’, Defected, Dim Mak, and Heldeep. In 2024, they launched Yes Chef Records to house their own releases and creative collaborations. 

They expanded their sonic world with Prince Street Bodega —a live-instrument collaborative project with NYC producer DOMENICO and Dublin-based songwriter Rion S. The project brings their genre-bending energy into soulful, organic territory through live instrumentation. 

Black Caviar’s music has landed major syncs across NBC, Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, ESPN, Hulu, NFL, McDonald’s, eBay, Coach, Sonos, and more—cementing their status as musical shapeshifters with global reach.

Experience the moment. Don’t record it. This Never Happened.

According to the Zodiac, the Ox is attributed with traits of strength and familial loyalty. Nevertheless, they can be stubborn with their ideals and quick to snap on anybody who might violate tradition. Hailing from Virginia, Lyricks and JL exemplify these characteristics as artists who regularly speak on the struggles of the Everyman, yet quick to welcome any challengers, only to treat them like the bonus stage in Street Fighter. It’s a breath of fresh air in an era when rappers spit freestyles off their phones and mumble from the bottom of styrofoam cups. In 2016, the tag team released “Seven Rings,” garnering 10+ million views while definitely answering the question ‘can Asians rap? YEAR OF THE OX is set to debut their “YOX EP” and will be joining Dumbfoundead on a national tour.
