 ATLANTA, GA. (TVT Records) - Roc, of the Ying Yang Twins (YYT), and his younger brothers, Mr. Ball and Da Birthday Boy are Da Muzicianz. Having pursued their obsessive love for music southern hip-hop particularly with songs like 'The Walk,' which appears on the YYT¹s platinum-selling (U.S.A.) United State of Atlanta and 'Get Yern,' the hard-hitting crunkadelic groove featured on Still United, the Twins¹ U.S.A. bridge CD/DVD release, these East Atlantans are prepared to release their self-titled debut album on May 23, 2006. The objective of the PUNNN!!! Entertainment/Collipark/TVT Records release is to keep people dancing and having fun while simultaneously morphing the hip-hop game into its next phase. Quite naturally, Da Muzicianz have a unique proposition. 'You gonna have fun when you messin¹ wit us,' laughs Mr. Ball. 'We the people who liven up the party, you know. We ain¹t gonna tear da club up. Instead,' he continues, 'We gon¹ have fun in da club. We gonna go crazy in da club.' Lead by the Mr. Collipark produced single 'Camera Phone', Da Muzicianz take it back to the early 90¹s when girls were sweating in the club instead of snappin' their fingers. The companion video for 'Camera Phone' is in rotation at MTV Jams and a recent 'New Joint' on BET¹s 106 & Park. The group has performed on Showtime at the Apollo (aired 4/29 and re-airs 10/2), BET¹s Spring Bling (aired 4/15) and Direct TV¹s CD USA (aired 4/22). They will also grace the June 2006 cover of Ozone Magazine. This album is reminiscent of 2 Live Crew music. Songs like 'On Me', 'Girls I Know' featuring D4L¹s Fa-bo, 'Gyrate', and 'Stripleader' make a perfect soundtrack for a bachelor party. 'Til Yo Back Get So¹ is dance-centric and offers a central groove for leaning and rocking around syncopated techno keys. 'Go Dumb Remix' is a tribute to the Bay Area¹s hyphy movement. This is one of the songs that show that Da Muzicianz are very much in tune with their hip-hop environment outside of Atlanta. The track, produced by Cheesy, contains a galactic flute over a hard-hitting 808 drop.
