The “Stir it Up” Series, is the brain child of identical twins Patrick “Curly Lox” and Paul “Tu-Lox” Gaynor, professionally known as “Twin of Twins.” After spending the past decade as Jamaica’s best kept secret, they are now getting the recognition they deserve as two of the Islands most talented individuals. With an array of skills, the brothers have written over a dozen hit songs for their friend Bounty Killer. Songs such as “Warlord Nuh Business,” “Likkle Dread Boy,” “Oh Come on Now,” “Uptown Boy,” and his current #1 hit “It’s Ok.” They have also penned lyrics for many of Jamaica’s top talent including Beenieman, Elephant man, and Luciano. “Stir it Up’s” popularity clearly comes as a result of the Twin’s ability to relate with ordinary people, at the same time as they demonstrate a complex understanding of the intricate political and social structure of Jamaica. The brothers do all this and still manage to be extremely funny, and at times reflective and poignant. The past ten years have been a long journey for Curly Lox and Tu Lox and now they have achieved major stardom in Jamaica and the world. Although Stir it up Vol. 4 was never officially released, it manage to be the #1 burned CD in Jamaica and thousands of copies have been made from the unreleased original. In response for this demand “Twin of Twins” released Stir it up vol.5, “Crucifiction of the Ghetto” in December, 2004. The critical and commercial success of the CD, has been uncontrollable, and the Twins are now in the studio working on songs and material for their next CD. They have formed their own record label to produce/distribute their catalogue, and even though bootleggers continue to benefit from the hard work of the Twins, the album is still a best seller at many of the legitimate record shops. As a result of their mother’s determination and their older brothers encouragement The Twins were able to endure the violent cycle of ghetto life and pursue their god given talent to entertain. Even after being turned down by 28 different record producers and labels, they continue blazing their own path to stardom. Although they speak with ‘many voices,’ the reason Twins connect with such large audiences is because they speak with ‘one voice.’ Their true voice is the voice of the common man on the street asking honest questions and just wanting the dignity of a truthful answer. |
