Dj Unk From
The Atlanta Oomp Camp
Walk It Out
Has Takin djunk to the top
If you are not from the Atlanta area then you
may or may not know dj
unk from the big
oomp camp. But that has not stopped you from listening to
your radio and going to the club and jamming this song. The
funny thing about the whole story is the click he is part of
is a local ATL crew, an independent lable to be exact. Kinda
like Jim Jones and the entire Dip Set crew.
Djunk has been grinding for a minute around the
Atlanta area and now he is making major moves thanks to the
success of the single Walk It Out. Everybody around the world
is rockin' this song. I mean MP3 ipods and the actual itunes
website is sellssing crazy units. I am going to go out on a
limb here and say I think he went certified platinum with this
one track. Bands know that this is the best way to become a
millionaire in the music business. Lyrics don't have to be real
savvy anymore they just have to make you want to move in the
clubs.
The dirty south has mastered this with the
branding of Lil Jon Krunk Music, Rapper T.I. Hustle tracks and
certified platinum dance tracks like this one. Just to make
sure that people don't think he is a fluke the next song to
be released was 2 Step. Now you should know that Ciara killed her competition with a
similar music title of 1,2, step produced by Jazzy Pha.
So it looks like UNK is following in the right
path to get major dough. The remix to Walk It Out featuring Jim
Jones, Andre 3000 and Big Boi from Outkast is sick too. Who
would have ever thought powerhouse diamond album selling artist
like those guys would ever be on a remix for a dance track.
This is probably the main reason Down South artist have taken
over the Hip Hop rap community. It appears that the rappers
from the northern part of the states cannot get along. Eveybody
wants to be number one and it is killing the unity that they
use to have back when Public Enemy and elite rappers like Rakim
were making a bunch of noise.
With the help of the internet companies like
iTunes, Winamp and Rhapsody are making multi-millions of
dollars from the distribution of mp3s and playlist of all the
major artist you can name and even the ones you cannot. Music
share is huge and you probably have some friends you swap music
files with yourself. Something like walk it out and 2 step is
circulating the web by the thousands when it comes to digital
files. Even still the artist can manage to sell over a million
CDs. Now that is really special considering the amount of
people who have computers ipods and cell phone mp3 players.
