Tag Team is an American hip-hop/pop-rap duo residing in Atlanta, Georgia. They are known almost solely for their 1993 single "Whoomp! (There It Is)", which appeared in numerous advertisements, films, and television series.[1][2] The duo is made up of Cecil Glenn (DC, the Brain Supreme) and Steve Gibson (Steve Rolln).[1]
In 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.[1][3][4]
