“Bang Bang Boogie” is a Detroit rap single credited to Champtown Introducing D’Phuzion, released on CD in 2000 through Champtown’s Detroit label, Straight Jacket Records.
The story
According to a 2004 Detroit Metro Times profile, Champtown (Brian Harmon) met D’Phuzion at an East Side open mic in 1997 and built the record around her. The single later came out in more than one edition, including a vinyl release titled Bang Bang Boogie / Da Da Song (The Collectors Edition) that pairs it with Champtown’s “Da Da Song.”
Sound and production
The Collectors Edition gives the song in explicit, clean, a cappella and instrumental versions, with D’Phuzion credited on rap. The B-side, “Da Da Song,” follows the same format with its own instrumental and a cappella mixes. That layout was standard for singles meant for DJs and radio.
Legacy
The Metro Times reported that the single spent months on Billboard’s R&B/rap singles chart, peaking at No. 21 in spring 2000, and that its video received rotation on BET and MuchMusic. It remains the release most closely tied to D’Phuzion’s name.
