Ying Yang Twins Bio:

Feel-good party songs often make people dance and have a good time. But music means much more when there's another dimension. As kings of the club circuit, the Ying Yang Twins have ridden their zany personas, witty lyrics and Grade-A production to the top of the charts. Sure, they make classic party cuts, but a closer look at their immensely popular work reveals an unrivaled level of humor, sophistication and outlandishness that has helped the Ying Yang Twins earn legions of fans from Los Angeles to the Midwest to their native region, the South.

The Atlanta-based duo of Kaine and D-Roc have 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. The instant success of both "Whistle While You Twurk" and "Ying Yang In This Thang" made Ying Yang Twins immediate players in the hip-hop field. Subsequent hits "Say I Yi YI" and "By Myself" established Kaine and D-Roc as hip-hop's premier party-starters and earned them guest spots on albums from Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz and Kizzy Rock.

Having recently signed to Epic Records, the Ying Yang Twins have released a new single, "Fist Pump, Jump Jump," which can be heard below along with the hit collaboration "Get Low" with Lil Jon.

Classic Williams Bio:

It is time for Nashville to turn their eyes and ears to the skies, where you will find Nashville native & hip-hop enigmatic Classic Williams.

Dropping consecutive Mixtapes in 2010 & 2011 as well as feature appearances on several local projects, the buzz around Williams has steadily grown throughout the Southeast Region. Recently graduated from Middle Tennessee State University's Music Business program, Williams's passion for music started at an early age, and as he remembers music has always been a part of his life... recalling his early years: "I have always been an entertainer and music has always been my passion, I was an only child so I loved a crowd, always putting on shows for my mom and her friends." A very famous family connection would soon help a young Williams unleash and expand his creative drive by affording him the opportunity to travel the world.

Classic's Great aunt is Oprah Winfrey's Godmother. Ms. Winfrey took an interest in a young Williams and personally funded his travels to destinations such as: Australia, France & England. "To travel like that at such a young age was a privilege and an amazing experience. It wasn't all vacation though, they were designed as learning opportunities, it really opened my mind to the world, in turn expanding my songwriting."
