Atlanta’s own Bad Boy, Yung Joc, burst on the scene with his debut single, “It’s Goin’ Down.” The song became BET’s Hip-Hop Track of the Year because of its catchy hook and accompanying dance.
New artists Shop Boyz made their mark with a track that may have caused serious damage to any house where there was a party going on. “Party Like a Rockstar” became the party anthem of the year, complete with a rock-inspired chorus and a beat made for smashing guitars.
