DJ Unk has reportedly passed away at 42 years old.
Anthony “DJ Unk” Platt first skyrocketed to fame in 2006 with his breakout single “Walk It Out”— the song reached the top 10 on Billboard 100 and the dance quickly became a cultural phenomenon. His follow-up single “2 Step” also made it onto the charts.
After signing to Big Oomp Records, the Atlanta-native released two studio albums, Beat’n Down Yo Block! and 2econd Season—both of which further cemented him in the game as a snap music pioneer. Beyond his skillful DJing, he was a hypeman, rapper, and father.
