Tag Team is a hip-hop duo from Atlanta, Georgia, consisting of members Cecil Glenn (DC the Brain Supreme) and Steve Gibson (Steve Rolln). They are best known for their 1993 hit single "Whoomp! (There It Is)," which became an iconic party anthem and a staple of 1990s pop culture.

Formed in the early 1990s, Tag Team quickly gained recognition for their energetic and catchy musical style. "Whoomp! (There It Is)" was released on July 20, 1993, and its infectious beat and memorable hook propelled it to the top of the charts. The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained on the chart for an impressive 45 weeks. Its popularity was not limited to the United States; it also became a global hit, receiving widespread airplay and making Tag Team a household name.

The success of "Whoomp! (There It Is)" was further solidified by its presence in numerous movies, TV shows, and commercials. The track's enduring appeal can be attributed to its high-energy vibe and universal party appeal. Even decades after its release, the song continues to be a favorite at sporting events, weddings, and parties.

In 2020, Tag Team experienced a resurgence in popularity thanks to a Geico commercial that featured a humorous twist on their famous song. The commercial, titled "Scoop! There It Is," debuted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and quickly became a viral sensation. In the ad, DC the Brain Supreme and Steve Rolln are seen in a suburban kitchen, helping a family make ice cream. Instead of "Whoomp! (There It Is)," they sing "Scoop! (There It Is)," cleverly replacing the original lyrics with ice cream-related terms. The commercial's playful tone and nostalgic nod to the 1990s struck a chord with viewers, leading to widespread acclaim and renewed interest in Tag Team.

The Geico commercial not only reintroduced Tag Team to a new generation of fans but also showcased the duo's enduring charisma and sense of humor. Their willingness to embrace their past success and adapt it to a modern context demonstrated their versatility and relevance in the ever-evolving music and entertainment industry.
