Twin of Twins
After their first “Stir it Up” CD started bubbling underground; the ‘twins’
Patrick “Curly Lox” and Paul “Tu Lox” Gaynor finally achieved the mainstream
recognition that they have been diligently striving for their entire career.
Their last Volume 8 in the series perfected their formula of combining
well-crafted music from songwriters alongside biting social commentary and
comical interpretations of real life situations and people. 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.
Scratchy B
Scratchy B is the DJ/Selector/Entrepreneur behind Cash Money sound system. Cash
Money mixes are said to be some of the most popular dancehall mixes in the
Caribbean, United States, Canada and numerous European and Asian countries where
one would least expect to hear dancehall music. Since his big break back in
2000, Scratchy B has not looked back. He managed to maintain his popularity
despite the invasion of many other mixes circulating on the market by simply
staying ‘focused and persistent’. From humble beginnings Scratchy B started out
in this business with only a drive and passion along with strong motivation from
his late mother who was gunned down at her gate in Portmore, St. Catherine in
2006.
