Boyz N Da Hood drop new album
“BACK UP N DA CHEVY” is the new album release from The ATL-based hip hop rap crew Boyz N Da Hood. The hip hop community has enthusiastically awaited this second collection from this phenomenal hip hop crew. The album which features the banging hit single, “Everybody Know Me” has already landed in stores and online.
Formed over three years ago by Block Ent. CEO Russell ‘Block’ Spencer, the hip hop gangsta rap artists Boyz N Da Hood earned instant stripes for its raw-edged recasting of classic gangsta rap.
Russell ‘Block’ Spencer says “I wanted to create something aggressive and hard-hitting, a group that could step up the game for the entire Block Ent. movement.”
Boyz N Da Hoods' self-titled 2005 debut album, which was certified gold by the RIAA; immediately established Duke, Big Gee, and Jody Breeze as the South’s most dangerous new hip hop rap group (original member Young Jeezy has since left the group and begun his own platinum-certified hip hop solo career).
The group’s newest enlistee is the one-and-only Gorilla Zoe, who has made a name for himself in recent months via his featured role on Block Ent./Bad Boy South labelmate Yung Joc’s hit single, “Coffee Shop,” as well as on his own just-released Block Ent./Bad Boy South solo debut, “WELCOME TO THE ZOO” (which features the current smash single, “Hood Figga”).
“Being in this situation is an honor,” Zoe says. “I’m a fan of Boyz N Da Hood. I love the music, and I love the movement of Block Entertainment. I respect the slick talk of Jody Breeze. I respect the gutter of Big Gee, the OG qualities in the play-calling of Duke, and the boss status of Block.”
“Everybody Know Me,” the first single from “BACK UP N DA CHEVY,” is currently blowing up at Urban radio outlets nationwide. The single was featured on the iTunes homepage upon its release earlier this year. In addition, the down-and-dirty album track, “Bite Down,” is shaping up as one of the year’s biggest street anthems.
“BACK UP N DA CHEVY” sees Boyz N Da Hood taking its cinematic street tales of guns, girls, and gangbanging to a whole new hardcore stratum. In addition to the aforementioned Yung Joc, the album is marked by guest appearances from a number of high-profile hip-hop luminaries, including T-Pain, Rick Ross, and the legendary hip hop gangsta rap notable Ice Cube. Among its producers are such top studio stars as Dee Jay Dana (Yung Joc, Gorilla Zoe) and Drumma Boy (Young Jeezy, Juvenile, Paul Wall).
