Synopsis

Album Description

Despite the incredible creativity of hip hop, its ability to throw up new styles, to morph and reinvent itself, it's not every day that something genuinely fresh drops in front of you. Welcome, then, to "YoYoYoYoYo", the debut album from Spank Rock. Drawing on the music of their hometown, Baltimore, Spank Rock make something genuinely unlike any record you've heard before. Of course there are antecedents, but at just under forty two minutes, Spank Rock have managed to reconfigure the musical landscape around them by being funny, catchy, clever, fearless and most of all, innovative.

Blew my head up.

Millie Rim Job Dee | On Top, Mo Mo | 04/24/2006

"No joke, this hit me outta the blue. A hip hop record that has a great rebellious energy and a refreshing escape from the pampered and decadant styles so prevalent right now in the rap game.

Spank Rock is hungry! Not to be slept on, people."

Spank Rock - YoYoYoYoYo FIVE STARS!

Chris Reed | 08/20/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Spank Rock can rap and has incorporated some of the most amazing Breaks and Hip Hop beats together with a little UK Garage sound. It is the album I have been looking for. If you are all tired out of all the mainstream Hip Hop and Rap out right now, BUY THIS ALBUM!!!"

Genius.

Daniel Choe | Baltimore | 03/19/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I read that someone reviewed the lyrics as immature. Let me correct that by saying that it's overly misogynistic. Like over the top. And because it one-ups the likes of Little Jon, think on the level of 2livecrew and dj assault, AND the fact that each song is really smart ("Rick Rubin" is a great example of how smart the lyrics are), Spank Rock becomes straight genius.

The production is out of this world! The Baltimore club influence is strong, but with a funk and edge all its own. This album is in my top 5 all time, namely because it took me by surprise. Even those who don't generally like hiphop can appreciate this new genre that Spank Rock is creating, a electro-indie-rap-mash up. You could say that a fan of Girl Talk could easily transition to Spank Rock. Then maybe move on to Plastic Little."
