知名饒舌歌手DJ Unk逝世，享年43歲
來自亞特蘭大的饒舌歌手兼DJ DJ Unk，以2006年的熱門單曲《Walk It Out》和《2 Step》聞名，已於43歲去世。他的妻子Sherkita Long-Platt及其前唱片公司Big Oomp Records證實了他的離世。目前尚未公布死因，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中的snap音樂風格崛起，成為該次流派的重要人物。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》，這兩首歌都成為文化經典。《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參與混音。這首歌的影響力超越了音樂領域，成為舞蹈比賽、病毒式影片甚至電影《Stomp the Yard》中的經典元素。
DJ Unk的音樂對亞特蘭大嘻哈場景及其他地區產生了深遠影響。他的唱片公司Big Oomp Records稱他為「我們廠牌的真正基石」，並讚揚他的創造力和對音樂的投入。粉絲和同行藝人，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音樂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。他的家人請求在此艱難時刻給予隱私。他作為snap音樂的先驅和嘻哈界深受喜愛的人物，其遺產將繼續激勵未來的世代。
