The over the top but down in the gutter attitude of that album is also felt on Beat'n Down Yo Block, but this is a much slicker affair and unfortunately overstuffed. Oomp is the man behind Baby D and his Off Da Chain album, a Dirty South cult favorite.
DJ UNK WALK IT OUT MP3 DOWNLOAD PLUS
Unk has the charisma and swagger to deliver it all, plus the ability to write amusing rhymes, but more than anything he's got the executive producer to pull this kind of hardcore Southern party record off, Big Oomp. With plenty of punkish, thuggish street music and a convincing, reverent track devoted to those no longer with us ("Thinking of You"), the album skillfully covers a lot more ground than expected.
In 2017, Unk finally delivered his long-awaited third full-length album, Fresh Off Dem Papers.Īfter attacking urban radio with his club track and dance craze "Walk It Out," DJ/rapper Unk made the usual mixtape and BET appearances that built up to the big album, but he did it in such an incredibly compressed time that there's every reason to worry his full-length debut is a rushed dud. He eventually recovered and began touring again, releasing a handful of singles over the next few years. On the heels of the album's release, Unk suffered a heart attack, which resulted in a slowdown in his career and a reduced profile. The album fell just short of the Billboard 200's upper half and reached the Top Ten of the rap chart. Unk's sophomore album, 2econd Season, followed two years later and featured guest spots from Sean Kingston, Ray J, Three 6 Mafia, and others. Unk became a regular in Atlanta's mixtape circuit, appearing on his own as well as on other DJs' material.Īfter his first hit record and a guest spot on the LP On Top of Our Game by Dem Franchize Boyz (Unk's old high-school classmates), he pushed for his debut album, Beat'n Down Yo Block, which was released in October 2006 on Oomp's Big Oomp Records and distributed via Koch Entertainment.
In 2000, an impressed Big Oomp took Unk under his wing to develop his rhyming skills and incorporated the DJ/rapper into his Oomp Camp.
After crossing paths with DJ Jelly and DJ Montay, he joined their DJ entourage, the Southern Style DJs, performing for high-school parties, proms, pep rallies, and other events around the state of Georgia. Known in Georgia as DJ Unk, Anthony Platt began spinning records in 1998. Atlanta DJ and rapper Unk entered the spotlight in 2006 with the hit single "Walk It Out." Under the guidance of Atlanta underground impresario Big Oomp, he turned the local Atlanta hit into a national one, enjoying rotation on MTV2 and BET as well as some radio outlets around the country.
