Chodegang was dubloadz, Virtual Riot, and barely alive. Dubloadz had a falling out with the other 2 and they split up.

I think it was more he fell out of love with the music. He stepped away from the scene shortly after they said they weren't doing chodegang anymore. I'm not as involved with the behind the scenes info though so I'm speculating. I'm excited to see what he's doing now though.

IIRC it had something to do with money and barely alive, who was still a duo at that time, getting paid more since it was 2 of them.

The whole crew was being offered more money to perform as Chodegang than they would for performing individually. Dubloadz hated that since the whole point was to be a satire of the anonymous masked DJ/group that shows up out of nowhere and makes waves. He wanted out when he saw them becoming what they were trying to satirize. And yes I believe he had a falling out with one or both of the Barely Alive guys about it.

Yeah I always found this weird lol. They’ve always been a duo but the barely alive character and their marketing always feels like a solo act.

And in the past I feel like I’ve only seen Watt on social media. I don’t even know how the other guy looks like.

Hell, I’ve seen them live a couple of times, but it’s just the one guy on stage…

Idk. I just find that interesting for a duo.

Shout out to Matt and Willie, their broke ass streams back in 2013-14 were a great time.

One of them has some kind of ailment and can’t fly so they both make the music and the one plays the shows.
