Twinz is a musical duo out of the Long Beach, California, the Twinz consist of Deon "Trip Loc" and Dewayne "Wayniac" Williams. After working with Warren G on his debut "G-Funk Era", the Twinz released their debut album Conversation in 1995, during which they found modest hits with "Round & Round" and "Eastside LB". This album is now considered an overlooked classic. On Tha Eastsidaz debut album, "Snoop Dogg Presents Tha Eastsidaz", The Twinz were featured on the track "Dogghouse" under the name Tha Locs.

She made #4 in the U.K. at the end of 1964 with her self-penned debut "Terry," a maudlin disc about the death of a (fictional) biker boyfriend.

There at least two different representatives of the name Twine. 1) Baltimore, Maryland's Greg Malcolm and San Diego, California's Chad Mossholder comprise a unique musical entity. Twine is the culmination of their extended history, which includes their acclaimed 2002 LP Recorder for France's Bip-Hop and their distinguished catalogue for Chicago's Hefty Records and Sweden's Komplott. Their sound contains a mysterious and unresolved quality, the result of the musical relationship which the group's two main practitioners share. Making music together from across the country, their collaborations are exercises in postmodern abstraction. Songs become experimentations in the virtual realm, with files bounced...
