034: Behind the Music with Michael "Mr. ColliPark" Crooms

UNGENTRIFIED with Kent Johnson

On this episode, I am joined by Michael “Mr. ColliPark” Crooms (), super producer and DJ, and we sat down to chop it up about his career in music and the impact he’s had on the industry. We talk about the origins of “twerk,” how his first hit, the Ying Yang Twins’ “Wait (The Whisper Song),” almost didn’t happen, discovering Soulja Boy, and how he feels about being responsible for a song played at every Black function, “The Wobble.” Guest: Michael “Mr. ColliPark” Crooms () Website: Resources/People/Articles Mentioned in Podcast: Rich Dad, Poor Dad: The Tax Edition Check out ColliPark’s remixes on his website, Follow the conversation: @ungentrifiedpod on / @kentwjohnson on / #ungentrifiedpod Email us your questions/comments at .
