ARLINGTON, VA. (Top 40 Charts/ USO) - Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Marine General
James E. Cartwright, is slated to bring a group of celebrity entertainers with him on an eight-day, five-country USO tour.
Among those invited to trek overseas are Atlanta-based rap duo, The Ying Yang Twins, former UFC champion, Chuck 'The Iceman' Liddell, model/singer Mayra Veronica, and comedians Gabriel Iglesias and Edwin San Juan. As part of the whirlwind visit, the group will spend time with troops and stage a host of hi-energy appearances and shows as they extend America's gratitude.
During many of the stops, the Ying Yang Twins will treat troops to a special performance featuring their lead single 'Wild Out,' which will soon be available on i-Tunes. All the proceeds from the single 'Wild Out' will be donated to the Brooke Army Medical Center. The Brooke Army Medical Center is a health care facility that provides level-one trauma and prosthetic limbs for soldiers and offers graduate medical education.
Rappers Kaine and D-Roc, best known as the Ying Yang Twins, burst onto the music scene in 2000 with their hit single 'Whistle While You Twurk'. Often lumped into a group of southern rappers who personified a party or "crunk" style of rap, the duo met in East Atlanta at age 16.
Following a successful career underground, the Ying Yang Twins went main stream in 2002, appearing on Lil Jon's 'Kings of Crunk' album. Currently working on their sixth studio album, the duo has yielded such hits as 'Get Low', 'Salt Shaker', and 'Wait (The Whisper Song)'.
The Ying Yang Twins latest project titled 'Karma', is slated to be released in mid February, 2009.
