Twin of Twins
W
hile growing up in abject poverty the twins developed an avid interest in dancehall and reggae music. The music confirmed while it simultaneously took them away from the negativity of their situation. Paul (tu lox) Gaynor by the time he was 14 years old was a full-fledged fashion designer who would sew everything as long as it was made from fabric he even sewed their school uniforms at the time. The twins were inseparable as they went everywhere and did almost everything together. Patrick ( curly lox) Gaynor from a very early age started writing songs and singing them at school while his brother Paul would knock the benches to provide the beats. Patrick had an upbeat happy go lucky personality and was always the more outgoing of the twins who could very much relate to Professor Nuts his mentor who at the time was the innovator of dancehall comedy. The duo is best known for The Stir It Up series from Volumes 4 to 8; Volume 4 was never officially released, but bootleggers helped to make it available to the public, thus sparking a demand for official releases of the Twins' work. As a result, Volume 5, "Crucifiction of the Ghetto," was released in December 2004, to much critical and commercial success. Volume 6, "Resurrection of the Ghetto," was released in 2006, followed by Volume 7, "Til Death Do Us Part," a year later. Volume 8, "Trial and Crosses,".
