New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "The concept of the song is, you can't judge a book by its cover. Regardless of who you really are in real life, there will always be this outward perception of you. No matter what struggles you may encounter in life, you never give up," commented
Twang and Round's Vernon Roach.
Kentucky based country/AmeriFlow duo
Twang And
Round are back with another brand new single and video for "Dope Boy" The track is the latest single from
Twang and Round's upcoming new album, which is scheduled to be released in early 2018 via Thirteen Skulls Entertainment.
"The concept of the song is, you can't judge a book by its cover. Regardless of who you really are in real life, there will always be this outward perception of you. No matter what struggles you may encounter in life, you never give up. We co-wrote the song with Taylor Thompson 'Taylor James', a great musician from Kentucky, at The Hideaway at our personal studio. The song and concept originated as a freestyle that
Twang spit and that developed into the full song. The song became a great mixture of gritty delivery mixed with an upbeat melody that resonated throughout the record," commented
Twang and Round's Vernon Roach about the track. "For the video, we love rich storylines and the treatment was created by Jon Conner and
David Ray from I4NI, our label mates at Thirteen Skulls. The video depicts a teenager overhearing his parents struggling with bills. He then takes it upon himself to go out and hustle music. The video subliminally portrays us as kingpins pushing music and we felt this was a brilliant way to show the concept visually of what we had done musically."
Take a couple of Kentucky boys - Vernon Roach (a.k.a "Kuntry Twang") and Brad Davis (a.k.a "Lil Round") - who share a musical palette that ranges from Credence Clearwater, The
Black Crowes, and
Lynyrd Skynyrd to UGK, OutKast, and Beastie Boys, then mix in a little moonshine and you get
Twang And Round. With a unique sound that bridges the gaps between country and hip-hop,
Twang And
Round immediately began to warm the hearts of fans who love to have fun, share a couple drinks, and roll through the heartland with the windows rolled down.

Sarah Ross (from American Idol), and Jawga Boyz.
Twang And
Round mix together a unique blend of country, hip-hop, and southern rock, which has been dubbed "AmeriFlow".
