Roots Manuva - Witness (Modeselektor´s Troublemaker Remix) London/England

Bodyrox is the name for English house music DJ duo Jon Pearn and Nick Bridges. Pearn is also one half of the house duo Full Intention. The term "house music" may have its origin from a Chicago nightclub called The Warehouse which existed from 1977 to 1983.

NOW SUM FREEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! YELAWOLF!!!!



Who is Yelawolf? A shotgun-toting, trailer park-repping, redneck apologist? Or the most literary MC in years; a southern gothic answer to Wu-Tang Clan? Yes and yes. Because he's white and raps fast, he's often compared to Eminem, but a more fitting comparison would be with Ozarks novelist Daniel Woodrell (Winter's Bone), who similarly brings to life complex characters living amid meth labs, poverty and violence. "Two men stand, one's gotta go/One falls down to the ground, one walks down to the road," he raps on his breakout track "Pop the Trunk." "In the valley of the hollowed fields, in the valley of the hollowed till/This ain't a figment of my imagination buddy, this is where I live."

Despite his downright egg-headed eye for description, as an Interscope artist who has collaborated with Gucci Mane, Big Boi and Slim Thug, Yelawolf fits comfortably into the Southern rap mainstream. Born Michael Atha, with a nickname that reflects the Native American heritage of the father who abandoned him, he has been able to claw his way into an industry typically more concerned with image than insight. Not that Yelawolf's appearance doesn't turn heads; with his long, greasy hair, thin frame, and tats that creep out from his clothes (including the word "red" on his neck), he embodies the culture he represents.

Born in Gadsden, Ala. — two hours due west of Atlanta — he lived all over the country before returning home not long ago, and has no problem reconciling his love for hip-hop with his love for his hometown. "There's just something special about my state," he says. "You might see some guys with a big old rebel flag on their truck, but they'll be playing some Triple 6 Mafia, or UGK, or Lil Boosie. All they listen to is rap. It's intriguing, but it's also cool as fuck."
