How an Actor Created a "Get Low" and "Just the Two of Us" Trend on TikTok

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, "Get Low" was recorded by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz in 2002, first appearing on the album King of Crunk. The song also featured the hip hop group Yin Yang Twins, and considered one of the first songs to officially usher in the crunk movement of the 2000s. If you were a kid at the time, than the version that you are probably most familiar with the radio edit, but the dirty version of the song has become more popular in recent years, most famously making an appearance in the 2009 movie The Proposal where Sandra Bullock's character raps it.

"Get Low" reached number five on the top Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs of 2003, number two on on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 20 on the Hot Digital Songs Chart. Outside of the US, "Get Low" reached the top ten of the charts in the United Kingdom, the top twenty of the charts in Germany and the top forty of the charts in Australia, Austria, and New Zealand.

"Just the Two of Us" is one of those classic R&B joints written by Bill Withers, and recorded by Grover Washington Jr./Withers. Originally appearing on Washington's 1980 album Winelight, the song was officially released in February 1981 via Elektra Records where it reached number two on the US Billboard hot 100. The following year the song would win a Grammy for Best R&B song.

The creator of this mash-up and trend is Heath Allyn, an actor, musician, voice actor, and self described "shenanigangster." Allyn has appeared in the television series Adventures in Zeroworld, Music's Greatest Mysteries as a narrator and more along with being a professional musician. Allyn's music can be found on his official website, where he also blogs regularly about his music experiences.
