TWIN G BORN DONALD O'PASHUNE WALLACE AT CHARITY HOSPITAL IN MONROE LOUSINA IN 19** CAME TO SEATTLE AT THE AGE OF 3. HE STAYED IN HIGH POINT UNTIL HE WAS ABOUT 6. THEN MOVED TO THE CENTRAL DISTRICT AREA WERE HE WAS REMOVED FROM HIS FAMILY DUE TO HIS MOTHER'S ADDICTION TO DRUGS.



HE WAS IN AND OUT OF FOSTER HOMES, SO AT THE AGE OF 12 HE STARTED TAKING THE LIKES OF RAP MUSIC LISTENING TO RAPPERS LIKE LL COOL, J KOOL MOE D, HEAVY D, NWA, AN SO ON, AT THE AGE OF 14 HE LEFT THE GROUP HOME HE STAYED IN AND WAS TAKEN IN BY A SMALL FAMILY WHO HAPPENED TO STAY IN HIGH POINT WERE HE FIRST SURFACED ON WASHINGTON SOIL AT A YOUNGER AGE.



IN 1990 IS WHEN HE BEGAN FREE STYLING ANS TAKING A RADIO TO A ANOTHER RADIO ANS BEGAN RECORDING HIMSELF AS MC DONNIE D.HE HOOKED UP WITH A GUY NAME CREEPLOW AND RECORDED HIS FIRST DEMO THAT BECAME 4 TO 5 SONGS, AS TIME WENT ON HE CHANGED HIS NAME TO TWIN G.,HE DID HIS FIRST SHOW IN 1991 DECEMBER 27 IN MARSVILLE WA, WITH D-SANE CREEPLOW MAFIA AN A HOST OF OTHERS AS TIME PAST HE WASN'T DOING ANY MORE RECORDINGS UNTIL 1993 WHEN HE HOOKED UP WITH A GUY NAME HIGHTOWER OUT OF HIS NEIGHBORHOOD IN HIGH POINT.



THE TWO HIT IT OFF AND STARTED MAKING LOTS OF DEMOS FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS.TWIN G WAS GETTING A BUZZ FROM THE LOCALS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH SONGS LIKE ''COPY THE COPPER'' SPEAKING ON THE WAY THE POLICE TREATED PEOPLE IN THE AREA HE STAYED IN, AND ''STOP LISTEN WHATS THAT SOUND'', AN WHITE ROCKS'',BUT WHAT PEOPLE DIDNT KNOW IS TWIN G DID NOT WRITE HIS SONGS AT THAT TIME IT WAS ALL OFF THE TOP OF HIS HEAD.



IN 1997 TWIN G GOT INTO SOME TROUBLE AN WAS INCARCERATED FOR 6 MONTHS THAT'S WHEN HE WROTE HIS FIRST FEW SONGS AND IT CHANGED HIM LITERALLY OVER NIGHT. WHEN HE GOT OUT HE WAS DETERMINED TO TAKE HIS RAP CAREER TO THE NEXT LEVEL.



TWIN G STARTED RECORDING IN A PROFESSIONAL STUDIO, AND RECORDED NUMEROUS SONGS. NOT SURE WHAT HE WAS GONNA DO WITH HIS RECORDINGS. IT WAS THEN HE CONNECTED WITH A GUY NAME ED DUMAS AT THE REST WAS HISTORY.



ED TOOK A LIKING TO TWIN G MUSIC HIS STYLE, HIS RASPY VOICE, AND TOLD HIM ''HEA YOU GOT A OK SONG'', BUT IT COULD BE ALOT BETTER''TWIN DIDN'T LIKE THE IDEA OF SOME ONE TELLING HIM WHATS NICE, AND NOT NICE ABOUT HIS SONGS. BUT LATER DOWN THE ROAD HE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IT WOULD PAY OFF.



THEY RECORDED A WHOLE NEW ALBUM CALLED IN THE NAME OF GAME RELEASED IN 2001 ON SEPTEMBER 25. HOWEVER THE ORIGINAL DATE WAS SET FOR SEPT 11 2001 BUT DUE TO THE ATTACKS ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER IT WAS DELAYED.



IN THE NAME OF GAME WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT DUE TO THE LACK OF PROMOTION, AND MARKETING THE ALBUM WAS VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER WITH GUEST SUCH AS. SIR MIX ALOT,C-BO, SPICE 1, YUK MOUTH, AND MORE UNFORTUNATELY THE ALBUM ONLY SOLD 2000 COPY TILL THIS DAY.



IN 2003 TWIN G DECIDED TO WORK ON NEW ALBUM ONLY THIS TIME WITHOUT THE EARS OF ED DUMAS. AND IT WOULD TURN OUT TO BE A MASTER PIECE. TAKING WHAT HE LEARNED FROM ED, TWIN G FOCUSED ON SUBJECT MATTERS RATHER THAN PUNCHLINES.



HOWEVER HE PUT HIS ALBUM ON HOLD AS HIM AND HIS TWIN BROTHER, MAFIA AKA SKUNTDUNANA ALONG WITH 151, AND A-TRAIN PUT TOGETHER THE SUPER GROUP LAC OF RESPECT AN BEGAN RECORDING THE ALBUM TITLED GANG MEMBERS. IT WAS RELEASED APRIL 2004 AND WAS VOTED THE NUMBER 1 ALBUM BY SEASPOT MAGAZINE.

THAT ALBUM HAS SOLD OVER 4500 COPYS TO DATE.AN IN THE NORTHWEST THAT'S GOOD.



TWIN G KNEW HE HAD TO JUMP ON THE BAND WAGON AND FINISH UP THE ALBUM TITLED IN THA NAME OF GAME VOL 2. WITH REMIXES FROM THE FIRST LP HE ADDED LAC OF RESPECT, BIG SIKE, AND MAC MALL TO THE ROSTER IN MAY 1ST 2005 THAT ALBUM BECAME THE FASTEST SELLING ALBUM IN THE STREETS OF SEATTLE SELLING OVER 7,000 COPY'S THAT PUT TWIN G ON THE MAP.



TWO YEARS LATER TWIN G DECIDED TO DO AN ALBUM WITH HIS CHILD HOOD FRIEND GANGSTA NUTT, WHO ALSO AS SOLD OVER 10,000 COPYS WITH SEVERAL ALBUMS PUT TOGETHER. THEY CALLED THE GROUP THE STATUS WITH THE ALBUM TITLE ''ACTIVE'' AND AS THEY WERE RECORDING THAT ALBUM TWIN G WAS WORKING ON ANOTHER SOLO ALBUM TITLED, "I SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE",HE PROMOTED BOTH ALBUMS TO BE OUT ON THE SAME DAY HOWEVER TWIN CHANGED HIS MIND AT THE LAST MINUTE AN HELD BACK THE SOLO ALBUM, NOT WANTING TO DISAPPOINT HIS FANS HE PUT TOGETHER A MIXTAPE CALLED "THE CHARITY PROJECT" THAT WOULD FOREVER CHANGE THE GAME.
