About the artist
Ghost Town DJ's are an American music duo best known for their 1996 single «My Boo», a Southern hip hop and Miami bass-influenced track built around a hypnotic bassline, sparse drum machine programming and interlocking male-female vocal exchanges. Emerging from Atlanta's bass and hip hop scene in the mid-1990s, the group's sound reflected the city's growing influence on Southern hip hop in that era.
«My Boo» found only modest attention on its original release but experienced a massive second life decades later, becoming a viral phenomenon in 2016 through the Running Man Challenge, which introduced the track to an entirely new generation and pushed it back onto charts worldwide. The song's stripped-down electro-bass groove and call-and-response vocals proved unusually durable, giving it a cultural footprint far beyond the group's original catalog.
While Ghost Town DJ's never achieved sustained mainstream visibility beyond this single, «My Boo» remains a touchstone of 1990s Southern bass music and a notable example of how a regional hip hop record can resurface as a global hit through internet culture, cementing the duo's place in dance and hip hop history.
