New Boyz

New Boyz was an American hip-hop duo that burst onto the music scene in the late 2000s, garnering attention for their fresh take on West Coast hip-hop and their contribution to the "jerkin'" movement—a dance style characterized by jerky arm and leg movements. Comprising rappers Earl "Ben J" Benjamin and Dominic "Legacy" Thomas, the New Boyz harnessed the power of viral internet exposure to catapult their debut single "You're a Jerk" into the spotlight in 2009. The song became a definitive anthem for the jerkin' subculture and helped the group establish a dedicated fanbase.

Following their breakout success, New Boyz released their debut album "Skinny Jeanz and a Mic" in September 2009, which was well-received for its catchy beats and youthful exuberance. The album’s title reflected the group's fashion sense, which was often likened to the skinny jeans trend popular amongst their fans. Continuing their musical journey, they released their sophomore album "Too Cool to Care" in 2011, showcasing a more mature sound and experimenting beyond their initial style. The duo collaborated with various artists, as reflected in tracks like "Spot Right There" featuring Teairra Mari, but despite their efforts to evolve and grow, the New Boyz eventually faded from the spotlight and have been relatively quiet since the early 2010s. Their influence, however, can still be felt in the realms of dance-centric hip-hop and youth culture.
