As adopted twin sisters, we knew nothing of our biological parents, except that our mom was white and our dad was Black. So, we imagined - to the beat of the bongo drum - a crazy fling conceived out of a smoky jazz club.

And one egg…splitting into TWO.

Aaaand, we found out we didn’t lay an egg with our story - it was close to the truth!

THE EGG, written and performed by The Jones Twins, produced by T-Bo for the spoken word compilation album, “Giants in the Dirt,” curated and produced by Elizabeth Hardwick.
