The Fresh Corporation along with Rensoul.com is adding a new twist to their already infamous party line-up this Memorial Day Weekend with the installment of “Shake it Down.” Highlighting this event will be the Spank Rock DJ’s, Devlin and Darko, making their Detroit debut as a pair. This dance party extraordinaire will be at the legendary Masonic Temple on May 27th, with Baltimore newcomer Tittsworth and resident DJ’s John Arnold and K-Fresh accompanying Devlin and Darko. Adriel, who is one of Detroit’s premiere event producers, will host this spanking new event.
Reflecting the party rap atmosphere of Baltimore's club scene, Spank Rock arrived as one of the best things to happen to both underground hip-hop and dirty rap, a pair of styles that rarely intermingle. Influenced by Baltimore's fertile but rarely exported club scene, Spank Rock tracks were influenced by the skeletal break beats of electro and bass, glitch and grime, while MC Spank Rock proved up to the task of conjuring the hypersexual rhymes necessary for a genuine Baltimore flavor. Signed to the British label Big Dada, the duo turned heads with early singles "Backyard Betty" and "Rick Rubin." Spank Rock's debut album, YoYoYoYoYo, appeared in April 2006. Their success has provided Spank Rock with a spot on Madden ’07, a gig on the Jimmy Kimmel show, as well as appearances spanning the entire world.
“Shake it Down” will be held on Sunday May 27th at the Masonic Temple with doors at 11 pm. The event will cost $10 and is an 18 + up show with valid identification.
