They are best known for their 1993 single \"Whoomp! (There It Is)\", which has been featured in a number of advertisements, films, and TV shows. The duo is made up of Cecil Glenn (DC the Brain Supreme) and Steve Gibson (Steve Rolln).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1990s, Tag Team broke stereotypes about the hip-hop genre by demonstrating that there is more to hip-hop than inflammatory lyrics. The success of \"Whoomp! (There It Is)\" represented a milestone in the history of hip-hop because it has been enjoyed by culturally and generationally diverse audiences.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDC Glenn was born in Chicago, Illinois, and Steve Gibson was born in Omaha, Nebraska. Both moved to Denver, Colorado, as young children. They met at Manual High School in 1982, where both pursued their musical interests. Gibson played drums in the jazz band and attended audio engineering classes at an early college education program, while Glenn sang as a tenor in Manual High School's Bolt Vibrations Chorus.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey began to develop as hip-hop artists in their youth, but the musical style of Tag Team originated with an alchemy of influences that took place after they moved to Georgia and were exposed to Southern bass. In 1988, Gibson enrolled in the Art Institute of Atlanta to study studio engineering. Glenn followed shortly after, leaving Sacramento, California, where he had been attending Sacramento State University. It was in the South that the two were inspired by artists such as Success N Effect and Kilo Ali as they explored the roots of the Southern hip-hop genre. In 1990, Gibson and Glenn released their first 12-inch single, \"Strictly Political,\" as Tag Team Crew.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Tag+Team","playStationPath":"/stations/113288369/play","stationId":113288369,"bioPath":"/music/Tag+Team/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Da+Brat","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bf4/bf4dc8b1eac4401ce80c065730ec3a69_md.jpg","artistName":"Da Brat","artistId":9757,"station_id":113340529},{"musicPath":"/music/Whodini","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2c2/2c2ee847db24fbceb95152a74ddeca3c_md.jpg","artistName":"Whodini","artistId":3937,"station_id":113481116},{"musicPath":"/music/Next","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9e8/9e8a7d13e64e924bdfa48bf2b6acff4f_md.jpg","artistName":"Next","artistId":3739,"station_id":113273623},{"musicPath":"/music/Akinyele","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b40/b400b5ce67b45cfc2fe485a6ff79420f_md.jpg","artistName":"Akinyele","artistId":9194,"station_id":114373420},{"musicPath":"/music/Puff+Daddy","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/42c/42cff2834c525bdd71a618f9f9a3aff2_md.jpg","artistName":"Puff Daddy","artistId":3740,"station_id":113276599},{"musicPath":"/music/Skee+Lo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c08/c08edfe21f778aedd9fb528d911234a7_md.jpg","artistName":"Skee-Lo","artistId":2261,"station_id":113545242},{"musicPath":"/music/Chingy","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/dbc/dbc1c21502d15d41ebe55e7a1118275c_md.jpg","artistName":"Chingy","artistId":2479,"station_id":113278270},{"musicPath":"/music/Black+Sheep","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0e0/0e0658ed1661fd2ca6d522c7c3b623b8_md.jpg","artistName":"Black Sheep","artistId":8407,"station_id":113403391},{"musicPath":"/music/Fat+Joe","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4d8/4d8a415b8eb70823340362d7262db363_md.jpg","artistName":"Fat Joe","artistId":2492,"station_id":113274003},{"musicPath":"/music/The+D+O+C+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9dd/9ddda24077a01d007d50ee490b30b2aa_md.jpg","artistName":"The D.O.C.","artistId":6881,"station_id":113280213},{"musicPath":"/music/Boogie+Down+Productions","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/db6/db6f64251a7ebb4c7077ac7c633cae06_md.jpg","artistName":"Boogie Down Productions","artistId":2662,"station_id":113332427},{"musicPath":"/music/Busta+Rhymes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3a5/3a5fe9eee621ce9dbc9080a00f49beb9_md.jpg","artistName":"Busta Rhymes","artistId":235,"station_id":113265983},{"musicPath":"/music/Nicki+French","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b8c/b8cbd31c5e4da5293cf354861cbcac5c_md.jpg","artistName":"Nicki French","artistId":9928,"station_id":113460125},{"musicPath":"/music/Fugees","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/509/509fdeb8703a269fc5ac1dc8314e2296_md.jpg","artistName":"Fugees","artistId":9639,"station_id":113265867},{"musicPath":"/music/Ghost+Town+DJs","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/156/1563bd0d20538e3c6a6aa2afd3912925_md.jpg","artistName":"Ghost Town DJs","artistId":10112,"station_id":113377466},{"musicPath":"/music/Los+del+Rio","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/992/992e79507b5efc8f94227081799a66ea_md.jpg","artistName":"Los del Río","artistId":6037,"station_id":113302034},{"musicPath":"/music/Camp+Lo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b32/b32ad2106c9c3e5c8ad6712fc9d3429c_md.jpg","artistName":"Camp Lo","artistId":244,"station_id":113537746},{"musicPath":"/music/Pretty+Ricky","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/109/109834e413e645a1284425ec5ffc1673_md.jpg","artistName":"Pretty Ricky","artistId":1741,"station_id":113262822}]}
