Chingy, Ginuwine, and Ying Yang Twins Join the 2025 Northwest Washington Fair Concert Lineup for a Night of Hip Hop Throwbacks

The Northwest Washington Fair is excited to present Hip Hop Throwback Night featuring artists Chingy, Ginuwine and Ying Yang Twins on Friday, August 15, 2025, at 7:00 PM. They join the 2025 Bank of the Pacific Grandstand Entertainment Series. Presented by Rhema Electric Inc.

Chingy is a GRAMMY® nominated multiplatinum entertainer who has ascended to the Billboard Hot 100 chart eight times and achieved rapid mainstream success with the release of his double-Platinum RIAA certified debut album, Jackpot, and smash hits "Right Thurr,” “Holidae In,” “One Call Away,” “Pullin’ Me Back,” “I Do,” “Dem Jeans,” and many more. He’s also acted in small screen roles in television comedy series "My Wife and Kids," "One on One," "George Lopez," "Yo Momma," as well as cameos in several films, including "Scary Movie 4" and "Speed Dating." 

Ginuwine has released a number of multi-platinum and platinum-selling albums and singles, becoming one of R&B's top artists during the 1990s heyday of hip-hop soul. His stardom continued into the 2000s. In 2001, Ginuwine had a number-four hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single " Differences", which also peaked at number-one on the Billboard Hot R&B/HipHop Singles & Tracks chart. Other hits include his single “Pony” and album Back II Da Basics, which debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, selling close to 100,000 copies. Ginuwine stated on BET's Top 100 countdown that the album went Gold with sales of 500,000 copies. 

Atlanta's party rap duo, Ying Yang Twins, have many songs that are massive hits. “Salt Shaker,” “What’s Happenin!,” “Wait (The Whisper Song),” and more were extremely successful tracks. Their nationwide success launched after their 2003 team-up with Lil Jon -- "the King of Crunk" - - and followed for years to come.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
