Spank Rock (Naeem Juwan), Philly's own "electro and dirty rap auteur" (NYTimes) and "harbinger of post-millenial rap" (FADER), has been building buzz this past year for his next release, an intense dose of club- and festival-ready rap. His six-track EP The Upside features production by New Orleans trap upstart Kid Kamillion, Philly hip-hop producer (& WKDU alumni) Noah Breakfast, Don Loemax, With You (Switch and Rick Trainor) and German techno producer Boys Noize. Fast, ghetto, provocative, and complex, The Upside is one of the most unique and creative dance records of 2014. Out December 9th on Naeem Juwan's own label Bad Blood Records and Boysnoize Records.
Tune into the Hot Mix Thursday night from 9-11 pm to hear him play some tracks from his new EP. Matpat (Exploited Records, Plant Music) is on opening duties.
After catching Spank Rock on the Hot Mix, be sure to catch him LIVE for Making Time this Saturday at Voyeur!
