Minus 2

Minus 2 is the retro-futuristic hip-hop/electronic duo formed by former Iowa State University football players, Collin Charles and J. Black. After forging close bonds as teammates on the field and brotherhood as roommates off the field, Collin and J. Black went on to pursue NFL roster slots with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys, respectively. The journey of a professional football player is seldom linear and each of them had to face their fair share of adversity. Though it’s a team sport on the screen, each player sheds their own blood to fight for a spot. At the conclusions of their athletic careers, each of them found themselves at the crossroads between the “pinnacle of success” and “what’s next?”. In 2017, the two reunited under the California sun to share another mutual passion.
