LOS ANGELES, CA — The music world is reeling with shock and sorrow following the sudden passing of China, one half of the beloved twin sister rap duo Cam & China, known for their high-energy tracks and fierce presence that helped define the jerkin era of the early 2010s.

A Twin Bond and a Cultural Legacy
China, along with her identical twin sister Cam, rose to prominence in Los Angeles during the explosive jerkin movement, carving out a space for themselves with bold lyricism, undeniable charisma, and unapologetic West Coast swagger.
