Atlanta’s own club-banging duo consisting of D-Roc and Kaine, the Ying Yang Twins, is performing at 8 p.m. on Sept. 17 at UTM’s very own Elam Center.

The rappers’ full length debut album, Thug Walkin, was released in 2000. “Whistle While You Twurk” was the group’s first radio hit. After teaming up with Lil’ Jon, better known as the King of Crunk, in 2003 for the massive club smash, “Salt Shaker,” the Ying Yang Twins were immediately signed to TVT Records.

Their first album under the TVT label, Me & My Brother, sold over 1million copies. Popular songs from this platinum-certified album include “What’s Happenin” “Georgia Dome” and “Naggin.” In 2004, the Atlanta natives released the remix album My Brother & Me to satisfy the cravings of their loyal fans.

The Ying Yang Twins latest album, United State of Atlanta, currently holds the number 22 spot on the Billboard Top 100 Albums list. United State of Atlanta debuted at number 1 on the charts and is the duos’ most popular album to date. The first single from United State of Atlanta, “Wait,” also debuted at number 1 on the charts. The latest single from the album, “Badd” featuring Mike Jones, currently holds the number seven spot on Billboard’s Hot Rap Tracks list.

Such acclaimed artists performing at UTM is almost like a dream come true to some fans. Natasha Chatman, a sophomore elementary education major, could not be any more excited. “I’ve been a huge fan of the [Ying Yang] Twins for years, even when nobody knew who they were. Having them come to UTM is great.” The Atlanta duo will be accompanied by Nappy Roots, a Kentucky based group whose musical styles are likened to Outkast, Raphael Saadiq, and Anthony Hamilton, just to name a few.

Tickets for the upcoming concert are still on sale at the Information Desk in the University Center for $20. It is certain that D-Roc and Kaine will have fans screaming “HANH!” long after the concert is over.
