In addition to Jamaal&#8217;s Caribbean upbringing, Mustafa&#8217;s life has been one of winning beatboxing contests, while rappers Ashley and Myles have been making grime and trap music since their mid teens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking of the EP, Rak-Su said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">People don\u2019t realise that before X Factor we were together as a band making music we loved &amp; were inspired by.\u00a0This EP allowed us to show some of the other sides to us&#8230; you get R&amp;B, electronic, Afro-Caribbean Rak-Su.
