亞特蘭大饒舌歌手DJ Unk逝世，享年43歲
亞特蘭大饒舌歌手兼DJ DJ Unk，以其2006年的熱門歌曲《Walk It Out》和《2 Step》而聞名，已於43歲去世。他的去世由其妻子Sherkita Long-Platt及其前唱片公司Big Oomp Records確認。死因尚未公佈，儘管DJ Unk曾在2009年因壓力、不良飲食和忙碌的生活方式而心臟病發作。
原名Anthony Leonard Platt的DJ Unk在2000年代中期以南方嘻哈音樂風格中的snap音樂子流派中的關鍵人物而崛起。他的首張專輯《Beat’n Down Yo Block!》於2006年發行，其中收錄了突破性單曲《Walk It Out》和《2 Step》，這兩首歌都成為了文化上的經典。《Walk It Out》在Billboard熱門饒舌歌曲榜上排名第二，後來還由André 3000和Jim Jones參與了混音。這首歌的影響力超越了音樂本身，成為舞蹈比賽、病毒式視頻甚至電影《Stomp the Yard》中的經典元素。
DJ Unk的音樂對亞特蘭大嘻哈音樂場景及其他地區產生了深遠的影響。他的唱片公司Big Oomp Records稱他為「我們唱片公司的真正基石」，並讚揚了他的創造力和對音樂的承諾。粉絲和其他藝術家，包括亞特蘭大獵鷹隊，都在社交媒體上向他致敬，回憶他對snap時代的貢獻以及他在塑造亞特蘭大音樂文化中的角色。
DJ Unk留下了妻子和孩子。他的家人請求在這段困難時期保持隱私。他作為snap音樂的先驅和嘻哈音樂中的受人愛戴的人物，其遺產將繼續激勵未來的世代。
