Backyard Band

Good Ol' BYB hittin I'm F&ckin you tonight in 2001... not 91....

[@jasonique]

Grew up in MD... and go-go is in my veins. People outside the DMV don't realize that this music comes from deep in the soul of DC. You can't touch that... and that's why go-go will never die.

[@davidrichards9834]

Til dis Day it invigorates my soul

[@TprShorttdogg]

Man dis jobt still kranx! Dam!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯

[@04cobra04]

You got b frm tha DMV t understand are Music real soul Music ilove my DMV rip Chuck brown

[@groovephigful]

I'm from Chicago and I love Gogo!! If it was marketed here correctly it would do well here as well😊

[@DCsWiseMan]

I live in Miami now, but DC in the 90's taught me so much about life.

[@thecaptaindmv]

1996 IBEX..they hit this SWV joint..shit got crazy on the balcony..back when ladies actually came to party not just to look cute

[@MustafaAhmadahmadmawia]

this joint still crank

[@mspatman]

I moved to MD in '92 from Ga, and now I'm back in GA. Still loving Back

[@poppyshoessp]

Our own music! Its a DC thang, they wouldn't understand. Rip Chuck.

[@DCsWiseMan]

This is when Go-Go, was real, everybody from BYB, had a special sound and flow....Big G, Weensy, and Los,,,,often imitated, but never duplicated...

[@jasonique]

Love it when that audio is clear like that. Grew up in the DMV and even tho I'm in Cali now, I can't get the DC gogo out of my soul. This brings back the memories.

[@kecialawanne4516]

Same here in the ATL and listen to Crank every day. It's a must. I'm a DC chick for life.

[@vicmason25]

and Big G....tha best 'Talker' ever as far as i'm concerned...but i am a 80's baby

[@ThinkinAboutSex]

I am 32, been listening to back since I was 12-13, since there begining. As long as Back keep crankin that real authntic GO-GO they will continue to be the best. How many bands still have just about all there original members. Back can do a show and play for 5 hours and you won't here the same song twice, and they all will crank...Hold It Sauce, UH!!!

[@kdub4262]

BYB for life ... I know you're busy, but I must intercede, Girl I know I don't deserve you, But still I do believe that... These are the greatest musicians ever. I remember LOS and Marcus Harrell composing melodies in the apartment (3500) before BYB blew up. Witness true musical genius first hand. BYB forever!!

[@Dariusmarius]

I was born this day. No wonder this my favorite byb song!!😂

[@digginlyfe32]

Just pure CRANK!!! BYB knows how to rock the crowd!

[@fausto412]

Slim Charles really was in a band! holy shit!

[@AngelicFloorCare]

Na he wasn’t just in a band he one of the legends in these parts

[@AngelicFloorCare]

Before the Wire he was Big G!

[@CrowdPleeza]

This song is hype and relaxing at the sametime.

[@MrDodge1911]

Man them Bamas Still Crankin!

[@sheilasmallwood3476]

[@racerx4life]

The song used to be called Your the ONE for me

[@ThaDopeShow]

UPT....we started the swag in the early 90's. Then EVERYBODY followed. That's real. We were the 1st to rock Jordan's and $160 Nikes (a week before they came out), white tee's, straight leg denim and fresh fitteds. For the past 10 years it's been the norm. Wale and the youth movement, you're welcome.

[@Rjack5150]

cold crankin!! byb 4ever

[@fnkdrmmr]

He is from The Wire. He also a Go-Go artist from DC. It's funny seeing him on stage singing Go-go.

[@krikit96]

He was definitely doing gogo FIRST...The Wire came waaaay later

[@albedaface22]

Definitely Gotta be the year 99 or 00

[@justjohn991]

Slim Charles a.k.a. BIg G! holdin' it down for the DMV

[@dlreed70s1]

back is most certainly one of the best of all time and as main man said if they continue to play real authentic gogo. lately theyve been doing that bounce beat thing which is okay for a little minute but i hope they don't forget that pocket and all the classic shit that got them to the top. please don't play for these youngins and that new style. play the old style even with a new twist.

[@DavidHunterVisual]

they cranked it

[@CharsWigg]

LMAO @ the Slim Charles reference...

[@bigshot202]

Yeah thats Slim CHarles xxxxtoy...where you been? Thats my man Big G..CHV stand up. Long ass way from La Pena and the Ibex to HBOs The Wire!!
