Ying Yang Twins play at Dunnkirk

Rap duo the Ying Yang Twins played at Kilroy’s Dunnkirk bar last night.

Members Eric Jackson and De’Angelo, also known as Kaine and D-Roc, rose to mainstream popularity in 2003 after collaborating with rapper Lil Jon on his hit “Get Low.”

In 2004 they produced party singles such as “Badd” and “Shake.”

Their song “Halftime” is said to be the unofficial anthem of the New Orleans Saints.
According to Dunnkirk’s website, the Ying Yang Twin’s influences include Mike Jones, OutKast and Three 6 Mafia.

In 2012, the group released “Fist Pump, Jump Jump,” their new single off their untitled album.

Before the show, Dunnkirk bartender Mike Crump said he was excited for the night.
“I think it’s going to be crazy,” he said.

He said he remembers listening to the Ying Yang Twins years ago, when their song  “Whistle While You Twurk” was popular.

“Its just good to hear music that was popular back in the day,” he said.

He said when the Twins came to the bar last summer, the show was sold out. He said it was a great show then, and he expected them to deliver again.

He predicts acts with larger names like the Ying Yang Twins will increase in number as the weather gets warmer.

“They’ve showed us a list of possibilities and they look pretty good,” Crump said.
