The Palmer Squares were born Ronald Matt Brands and Seth Zamost and both grew up in Wheeling, IL, a northwest suburb of Chicago.

In 2011, they gained notoriety on YouTube by uploading long-form one-take rap videos and participating in various cyphers with artists such as Wax and Dumbfoundead.

Spooky Language was produced by Nate Kiz and is heavily influenced by comedian George Carlin, containing numerous vocal samples and borrowing its name from one of his comedy routines.

Over the course of the next year they added fellow Chicago rappers Will is Chillin', Rebel Legato, Vantablac Sol, Loud Mouth, and producer Irineo to the Stank Face collective.

A year later in May 2016 they released their second studio album titled Planet of The Shapes, boasting features from Watsky and fellow Chicago emcee Psalm One.

On June 12, 2017, The Palmer Squares released the EP, NaPalm with producer Nate Kiz, as a follow-up to Spooky Language.
