Spank Rock :: DTF DADT

dir: Scott & Karl (with Spank Rock)

I knew Spank Rock (aka Naeem Juwan) was a dirty talking, smooth spitting MC when I first heard him on his debut YoYoYoYoYo in 2006, produced by XXXChange (aka Alex Epton). Now, four years after his EP with Benny Blanco, Spank Rock is dropping his second full length album -Everything is Boring and Everyone is a Fucking Liar-which promises to be MASSIVE. XXXChange is back producing some tracks, as well as some guest appearances from Diplo, Pharrell, Boys Noize, and Santigold, just to name a few. The Baltimore born rapper has definitely come a long way and this track, produced by Zeb Malik of weird-rock act Po Po, just goes to show how far his musical style, knowledge, and expertise has come. This is one of his less verile tracks (not to say that the emphasis on pussy popping isn’t present) and sounds like a crossroads of Black Dice and Busta Rhymes. The video is very cool, featuring some interesting dance choreography, killer cinematography, and some choice set and costume design.

This album is going to be the big one of 2011, mark my words.
