After
putting in several years of work down south the Atlanta-based
duo of Kaine (left) and D-Roc (Right) have had two
hit albums (2000’s Thug Walkin and 2002’s
Alley: The Return of the Ying Yang Twins) and a string
of hit radio and club singles ("Whistle While
You Twurk", "Ying Yang In This Thang",
"Say I Yi Yi" and "By Myself")
to their credit.
After
striking it big this year on Lil Jon & The Eastside
Boyz' "Get Low," as well as their own single
"Naggin," group members D-Rock and Kaine
have released their 3rd album Me & My Brother.
They also recorded a single with Britney Spears, hoping
the track will dramatically raise their rising profiles.
The single, "I Got That Boom Boom," is earmarked
for Spears' latest album Get In The Zone.
Offthechain.com - Ying
Yang Twinz
Whats behind the name Ying Yang
Twinz?
Well Basically we are oppsites D-Roc is a party animal
while Kaine is the party pooper you just won't know
what to expect. Our styles are both different, its
nothing alike but balances out together on a track.
We have a unique original sound with soul and we go
back deep to the old school and want to bring that
feeling out.
How did you guys get started
in the business?
We got started from the Hard Boys a group that put
ATL on the map in the early 90's before Outkast &
Goodie Mobb. They were much older than us but we were
able to get a start through them. We eventually got
to be heard on a So So Def Bass Allstars compilation
album. The Bass music game kind of died & then
we came out with "Whistle While You Twurk.
How
do you feel about the success of "Get Low"
?
Well
everyone thought it was an overnight success but we
were determinded, that track was written from years
ago, me and my brother wrote that when we were 17...
but we waited and it seems we hit it just the right
time for it to come out.
So
what do see in the future for your careers?
More
collaborations, you can find us on the new Nappy Roots
CD Wooden Leather, we did a couple of remixes and
we did a strip club song with Britney Spears called
"I got that Boom Boom" we didn't have to
change or try and crossover we kept it real and true.
Have
you guys been able to tour outside the U.S.?
Yeah
we perfomed in Jamaica and loved it down there, we
are also getting ready to start the Me & My Brother
Tour to promote this new album.
Whats
Your Favorite Track on the new album?
The
Nerve Calmer
Ying
Yang Twins album "Me & My Brother" hit
the charts! The album debuted #11 on Billboard's Top
200 and #3 on Billboard's Rap chart!
