LOS ANGELES (www.yingyangmusic.com/dangerous/) - Longtime Ying Yang
Twins producer Michael "Mr. Collipark" Crooms has teamed with rapper/producer
Wyclef Jean and his cousin Jerry "Wonda" Duplessis to executive produce the newly renamed fifth Ying Yang
Twins album entitled, CHEMICALLY IMBALANCED to be released late November.
The Atlanta based rap duo - Ying Yang Twins' (D-Roc and Kaine) have changed the album title to CHEMICALLY IMBALANCED. "We renamed it [that] because we're totally opposite, we are never on the same page but we wind up in the same place. It has everything to do with chemistry and how we interact with each other - individually we are imbalanced but together we equal each other out," clarifies Kaine.
The album's first single, "Dangerous" co-produced by Wyclef, Jerry Wonder & Mr. Collipark has been released to radio and a Sin City-styled video was shot in Los Angeles last week. "I wanted to do a Ying Yang record that takes the elements of where we come from and add lyric melody to it. This will enable the Ying Yang Twins to reach an audience that normally don't listen to them," foresees Mr. Collipark. A teaser single, "1st Booty On Duty" has already been serviced to clubs and mixshow formats. The Mr. Collipark-produced "1st Booty on Duty" is a record about strip club DJs, whose job is not only to play music, but to get onlookers to spend money on the girls. Kaine acts as the DJ on this song, talking on the microphone to the patrons in the club. "1st Booty On Duty" is the first girl to hit the stage when the club opens.
CHEMICALLY IMBALANCED is the follow-up to the Twins' 2005 platinum Collipark Music/TVT Records release United State of Atlanta (U.S.A.), which bowed at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 with over 200,000 units sold. The disc was the Twins' second consecutive platinum album and spawned the Grammy-nominated single "Wait (The Whisper Song)," which peaked at No. 3 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
"Working with Wyclef and Jerry Wonder has pushed Ying Yang Twins and our sound to a whole another level," states Mr. Collipark.
As a producer, Mr. Collipark has churned out hit singles for Bubba Sparxxx, Young Jeezy, David Banner, Twista and the Ying Yang Twins.
Wyclef Jean and Jerry "Wonda" Duplessis are also enjoying worldwide chart success as producers of Shakira's international chart hit "Hips Don't Lie," which also features Jean's vocals. The song has hit No 1 in 14 countries, including the United States.
