This time we have lucky to introduce the Baltimore’s MC Naeem Juwan, better known as Spank Rock<\/strong>, who joins the Highchart’s team with the following playlist.<\/p>\n

\"Spank_Rock_Highxtar\"<\/p>\n

He never wanted to be a rapper, is a lover of guitar stars, however the predominating Baltimore ecosystem in the summer of 1993 marked his\u00a0form of expression.<\/p>\n

After release numerous works full of good sound, his recognition will come with the launch of their album debut, YoYoYoYoYo<\/em><\/strong> (Big Dada UK) in 2006.\u00a0The album was produced by his friend XXXChange<\/a><\/strong>;\u00a0<\/strong>they conducted a deconstruction of a genre established itself as the hip-hop, creating a new world possibilities for this music style.<\/p>\n

In 2011\u00a0Spank Rock<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>published his second studio album: Everything Is Boring and Everyone Is a Fucking Liar<\/i>, this time under the umbrella of his own project:\u00a0Bad Blood Records<\/a><\/strong>. That same year Naem came into contact with the world of fashion and he became one of the faces of Alexander Wang’s campaign.<\/p>\n

Throughout his career Spank has been surrounded and has collaborated with artists like Boys Noize, XXXChange, Mark Ronson, Sam Spiegel, LE1F, Santigold<\/em> or Pharrell Williams<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It’s difficult to select just some works in the Spank Rock<\/strong> career, but we have three references we like especially: FabricLive #33<\/em><\/strong>, Everything Is Boring and Everyone is a Fucking Liar<\/em><\/strong> where collaborates with Lady G<\/em>, Alex Ridha<\/em>, Santigold<\/em> or Mark Ronson<\/em>.\u00a0Furthermore we are lovers of his “electronic-rap” hits Gully & Vertigo<\/strong><\/em> published just two years ago. Gully has one of the most underground videos we’ve seen to date.<\/strong><\/p>\n
