The album\u2019s title is an alternate idiom for a one-in-a-million shot, reflecting a record that sprouted from the type of hybrid online\/IRL miracle that only makes sense in a post-pandemic context. <\/p>\n<p>            All three artists found each other on the internet: Dorian has been a fan of Polo since the late 2010s, when he began to gather clout as a core member of Surf Gang; Polo was acquainted with Dorian\u2019s work around the same time, while the younger artist was going viral as a dancer on the TikTok precursor Triller. Their first in-person meeting almost happened in 2020, when Dorian tried to attend an ill-advised COVID show Polo was playing in Atlanta. <\/p>\n<p>            \u201cI was probably like 13, pulling up to that,\u201d Dorian remembers. \u201cMy mom drove me, and we were looking for it for a minute; we just couldn\u2019t find the place.

In just his first few active years, he\u2019s offered his prodigious talents to countless digital rap darlings; his collaborators have ranged from d0llywood1 to Duwap Kaine, dazegxd to xaviersobased, and midwxst to Moh Baretta. <\/p>\n<p>            Even beyond his seemingly boundless beatmaking capacities, he\u2019s a producer in the classical sense: connecting disparate sectors of his now-vast network, cross-pollinating the scenes he wants to see in the world, and, in the most <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> sense, making shit happen. \u201cOne of my purposes in making music is to be a bridge between everything and everyone I\u2019m interested in,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p>            \u201cDorian showed me how many amazing artists have connections to me or were influenced by me,\u201d Polo adds. \u201cWhen he put me on to quinn, I was like, \u2018There\u2019s not gonna be music like this for 40 years.

The creative process took on a fever dream quality during this time, revolving around each artist\u2019s distinct proclivities and sleep cycles. \u201cI don\u2019t think me and Polo ever did sessions where we were both like, \u2018I\u2019m finna do this right now,\u2019\u201d Lii remembers. \u201cIt was more like, \u2018He\u2019s in the mode, I\u2019m sleepy as fuck, so he\u2019ll go knock it out and then I\u2019ll wake up and do my thing.\u2019 It was on some whenever-we-feel-like-it-type shit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            The sole exception to this approach, Polo clarifies, is \u201cPaperPlanesSoulja,\u201d one of only four songs in which Polo and Lii share the spotlight. \u201cI think he was smoking a blunt on the balcony, and when he came back, I was like, \u2018Bro, get on this,\u2019 Polo remembers. \u201cHe didn\u2019t even hear the beat or nothing. He was just like, \u2018Yeah, aight.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-262628\" class=\"content_block diptych triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper half_gutter_right gutter_btm\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_760,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/DFP08329_ah5r57\/the-crowd-at-substance-skatepark-photos-by-patrick-okun.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw\" alt=\"A rap trio too fun to fail\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n      The crowd at Substance Skatepark.

Outside the venue afterward, the consensus is indisputable: Events that draw crowds as simultaneously online, diverse (in age, gender, race, and style), and enthusiastic as the show we\u2019ve just witnessed are one in a million.<\/p>\n<p>            Even as the summer heat encroaches on The FADER\u2019s office the following week and tech difficulties cause the interview to drag, Dorian, Polo, and Lii still seem to be enjoying each other\u2019s company \u2014 sharing inside jokes, cracking up to videos on Lii\u2019s phones, playfully shit-talking <i>XXL<\/i>\u2018s newly released freshman class (but paying respect to Cash Cobain). <\/p>\n<p>            When I ask, prompted by their publicist, if they\u2019re working on <i>A Dog\u2019s Chance<\/i>\u2019s sequel, they snap into a choreographed gag they\u2019ve now repeated in several interviews: \u201cFuck no,\u201d Dorian and Lii reply, almost in unison. \u201cWe\u2019re all falling out after this PR run,\u201d Polo adds automatically. \u201cWe\u2019re beefing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Other than this brief, harmless moment of feigned animosity, though, nothing about their chaotic, carefree routine seems rehearsed or contrived.
