| Atlanta's Ying Yang Twins follow up their platinum breakthrough TVT Records cd, Me & My Brother and its massive hit "Salt Shaker", with the album of their career, United State Of Atlanta. Kaine and D-Roc's latest smash, "Wait (The Whisper Song)," dominated clubs, radio and TV music video countdowns throughout the spring of 2005. A second single, "Badd" featuring Mike Jones looks just as strong, even as fans can't get enough of the "Wait" remix featuring Lil Scrappy, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot and 106 & Park's Free. No longer just a Dirty South phenomenon, Ying Yang Twins have enlisted the help of guest stars Anthony Hamilton, Pitbull, Maroon 5 (yes that Maroon 5), Bun B, BG, Avant, Jacki-O and r&b singer Teedra Moses to present their most diverse and surprising album yet. Once again, DJ Smurf handles a lot of the production duties, and Lil Jon oversaw a track for his homies as well.

For starters, the wide variety of guests popping up throughout this 70-minute-plus project adds a feeling of randomness, recklessness, and fun. Neo-soul crooner Anthony Hamilton provides some honeyed vocals on the gospel-flavored "Long Time," and Maroon 5's Adam Levine holds his own on the electro-funk of "Live Again," with its nod to the travails of exotic dancers. There's also plenty of support from Dirty South brethren such as Mike Jones & Mr. Collipark (on "Badd"), and tough gal Jacki-O (on the DMX-flavored "Hoes"). The interspersed skits comment on a range of topics: "We at War" touches on the seriousness of America's foreign policy, while things get quite a bit raunchier on bits like "Sex Therapy 101," "102" and "103." |

| | Artist Overview | | Dirty South duo the Ying Yang Twins wallowed in obscurity for some time before the turn-of-the-century Crunk explosion pushed them into the limelight. The duo, with production from Beats-In-Azz, crank out frenetic, hands-in-the-air party jams; their 2005 full-length UNITED STATES OF ATLANTA is nearly a hip-hop epic, featuring guest shots from Anthony Hamilton, Missy Elliot, Bun-B, and Adam Levine of Maroon Five, among many others. |
