The Double Dose Twins (@doubledose_twins) came to slay, not play. Shorty Roc (@shortyrocnyc) caught them on the red carpet at the 2026 NXT Awards (@thenxtawards) at Coca-Cola Roxy (@cocacolaroxy) in Atlanta, and the camera did the rest.

Dressed to Match

They stepped onto the carpet in coordinated looks: fitted burnt-orange satin gowns with beaded, jeweled bodices, next to a draped gold gown. They posed together at the foot of the stage steps, then turned and walked the carpet in step.

A Big Night at the Roxy

The 2nd Annual NXT Awards took over Coca-Cola Roxy at The Battery Atlanta on Sunday, October 25, 2026, with Tia Kemp back as host for year two, according to the event's press release. Shorty Roc worked the red carpet, and his reel closes with a look around the arena floor.

DJ Scream and Shorty Roc

“ATL royalty right here, straight up.” That's how Shorty Roc (@shortyrocnyc) brought the legendary DJ Scream (@djscream) onto the carpet for We Run The City TV (@werunthecitytv). “This is We Run The City TV, back like we never left,” he opened. “We're in the building with a legend.”

The interview was shot in front of the ELITE step-and-repeat, the same backdrop from The Cult album release party in Mableton, where the flyers billed DJ Scream as a special guest. His on-screen title said it plainly: ATL Legend | Big Facts.

Those T.I. Collabs

Shorty Roc came in as a fan. “We've been listening to your mixtapes,” he told him. “We've been listening to your collaborations with T.I. and a ton of other artists.”

DJ Scream kept it humble. “I feel like T.I. said it all,” he said. “I had a lot of good ones with a lot of good brothers.”

“Their Own Story, Their Own Flavor”

Then Shorty Roc asked the question on the screen: how is he feeling about the new artists on the scene? DJ Scream gave a big shout-out to 29 Skyy Ent (@29skyy_ent). “They came and did a radio interview with me,” he said.

What sold him was the authenticity. “I love the fact that they got their own story, their own flavor,” he said. “They ain't trying to sound like nobody, look like nobody. So I think the sky is… beyond the sky is the limit for them.”
