MIAMI, FL. (TVT Records) - Collipark/TVT Records has set August 9th for the release of Ying Yang
Twins U.S.A. (UNITED STATE OF ATLANTA): CHOPPED AND SCREWED, an entirely remixed version of the Atlanta duo's current smash album. With the approaching certified RIAA gold in 5 weeks, the album has been completely retooled by acclaimed underground mixmaster Michael Watts, incorporating the psychedelic sound of "screw" to create an all-new musical experience.
"Screw music" was born out of Houston's alternative hip-hop scene, fueled by the use of codeine as a recreational drug – aka "syrup sippin'." Screw simulates the drug's trademark hallucinatory effects, producing an innovative, trance-like new hip-hop groove, a slower pace crafted by pitching down the mix until a lumbering, often eerie, tone is achieved. Pioneered by the infamous DJ Screw, screw has become a cult sensation in Southern rap circles, with "screwed" remixes of popular hip-hop anthems circulating via widely traded mix tapes as well as throughout the Internet music sharing community.
The original U.S.A. (UNITED STATE OF ATLANTA) – the duo's fourth album made an explosive chart debut at No 1 on Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart and entering in the No 2 spot on the Billboard 200.
"U.S.A. (UNITED STATE OF ATLANTA)"" features the smash Mr. Collipark-produced single, "Wait" which peaked at No 3 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. "Wait" has been nominated in 'Best Rap Video' category for the upcoming MTV Video Music Award. The album's second single, "Badd" featuring Mike Jones is currently No 11 with-a-bullet at Rhythmic Airplay, as well as No 37 with-a-bullet on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
U.S.A. (UNITED STATE OF ATLANTA), the Collipark/TVT Records release hosts a diverse lineup of guest appearances from Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Anthony Hamilton, Mike Jones, and labelmates Teedra Moses, Pitbull & Jacki-O.
