Decked Out Boys, an emerging rap group from Mississippi, has put out a fun new jam called “Boppin'” The video features some pretty dank, old school automobiles intercut with scenes of the group dancing(boppin’ presumably)with fans and friends in a park. The video production quality is very good, and the song itself is quite catchy. Probably my favorite component of this video is the guy who is randomly rocking the “meow we’re talking!” t-shirt with the giant cat on it.
My particular notion of boppin is based more along the lines of 1950’s sock hop nostalgia, as articulated in Elton John’s, Crocodile Rock. According to Urban Dictionary though, the term has several possible meanings in modern society. Decked Out Boys are a talented and energetic young group. If this single catches on, their version of Boppin’ could become a popular thing. The song is available on their website.
