New Jersey's Twin Hype released a pair of albums during a short career that spawned one undeniably brilliant single in the form of "Do It to the Crowd." Twin brothers Sly (Glennis Brown) and Slick (Lennis Brown) were joined by DJ King Shameek (Jose Matos) for a self-titled 1989 album and Double Barrel, a 1991 follow-up -- both of which were released on Profile. Each album had its fair share of filler, and neither Slick nor Sly were exemplary rappers, but singles like "Do It to the Crowd" and "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" provided thrills. The trio presumably split after the second album.
TWIN HYPE IS BACK
The year was 1989 when Twin Hype released their first self titled
album and two singles with videos for "Do It To The Crowd" and "For
Those Who Like To Groove" on Profile Records. Then in 1990 they
released an EP called "Double Barrel" with a video for "Nothing Can
Save Ya" also on Profile Records. Twin Hype toured the world till the
twins were incarcerated. Now the twins are back and ready to attack.
Twin Hype is currently in the studio with DJ King Shameek working on
their new album. "Being away from the seen since 93 has not stooped
the twins from doing their homework, the rhymes are more clever" said
Shameek. After being incarcerated for 5 years, and seeing where the
state of Hip Hop has gone and is going, the twins hooked back up with
Shameek to "Do It To The Crowd" once again. But this time more focus
then ever.
"We were like 18 years old with money and little knowledge about the
biz or investing" said Slick (one of the twins). Twin Hype is not
officially singed to a label just yet, but has a few offers on the
table. "We've seen about 20% of the world so far and can't wait to
pick up where we left off" said Sly (the other twin). Twin Hype is
available for bookings drop them a line at keepitrawrec@yahoo.com
