Naeem Juwan AKA Spank Rock comes from the wall-sweating, pipe-bursting, hip-grinding basements of the Baltimore Bass movement. After spending some time at Drexel University in Philly he linked up with the Diplo-powered Hollertronix crew and began crafting the type of live performances that have become underground legend. Diplo introduced him to the cutting edge UK-based label Ninja Tune and in 2006 he released the seminal electro/rap/booty album YoYoYoYoYo with production partner Alex “XXXChange” Epton. The duo crafted a groundbreaking debut album that many credit as ground zero of the electro/rap movement. Along with Ronnie Darko, Chris Devlin and the sassy trash-talking MC Amanda Blank, the Spank Rock crew quickly set the blogs afire and become known for putting on some of the raunchiest, booty-shaking live shows in the world.

Spank Rock has toured with everyone from Beck to Bjork to the Beastie Boys, has made records with Kylie Minogue, Mos Def and Santigold, and remains one of the most enigmatic and electrifying performers in music today. This summer he was featured along with The View’s Kyle Falconer on “The Bike Song” by Mark Ronson, which was a single on Ronson’s 2010 album release Record Collection, and he toured with Ronson’s Business International US & UK tour. Spank Rock’s sophomore album, Everything is Boring and Everyone is a F***ing Liar, will be released in 2011 and has a renowned team of producers linking with the German dance producer Boys Noize. Juwan and Boys Noize both serve as executive producers of the LP, and Boys Noize produced most of the tracks. Santigold guests on "Car Song", and New Orleans bounce diva Big Freedia appears on another one, "Nasty". The album also includes production from Neptunes superstar Pharrell Williams and original Spank Rock producer XXXchange, as well as Sam Spiegel (aka Squeak E. Clean of N.A.S.A) and Chris Rockswell.
