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: Missy's first album, 2Live Crew, the Beastie Boys and Dizzee Rascal all spring to mind, but YoYoYoYoYo demands to be approached on its own terms.

Being all about bringing the newness in their own sweet (and not so sweet) way, Spank Rock decided to hook up their own remixes for the tune and consequently make sure that everything came out just how they liked it. The President Evil remix features Five Deez member Pase Rock, who trades lines with Spank over a slapping, swinging rhythm. Producer XXXchange then takes it even further into electro-territory on his own glistening and body-rockin' mix. The package is completed by bonus track Girls and Boys, which shows something of the more brutal, avant garde element to the Spank Rock sound.
