About Ying Yang Twins
Ying Yang Twins is a hip-hop band from Atlanta, GA, formed in 2000.
Ying Yang Twins are the Atlanta duo of Kaine (Eric Jackson) and D-Roc (Deongelo Holmes), who are not related despite the name. Their debut album, Whistle While You Twurk, arrived in 2000, and they became one of the defining acts of crunk, the chant-driven Southern club music that Lil Jon helped popularise.
Their songs are built on call-and-response hooks, heavy 808s and shouted or whispered party instructions, and they recorded several albums for TVT Records in the mid-2000s, including Me & My Brother and U.S.A. (United State of Atlanta). Their own "Badd", with Mike Jones and Mr. Collipark, and the whispered hook on Lil Jon's "Get Low" kept them on radio through the mid-2000s.
