Watch The Duck

Atlanta's Watch The Duck pull off some crazy dance moves featured in the video for their new single, "Poppin' Off." The DJ/instrumentalist trio's name comes from the adage that while ducks may look calm on the surface, they're always kicking like crazy beneath the water just to stay afloat. When things get tough, the group keeps it light by reminding each other to always watch the duck. Cool, yeah? Bow to your sensei.

Even if their trailblazing blend of dubstep and rap isn't your cup of tea, the video is worth checking out to get your fix of insane clubby dance offs. The whole vibe captures the band's commitment to bringing the party and giving it their all. Bassist Eddie Smith notes, "The VIP is the dance floor. That's how you prove your importance. You've got to bring something to the table. It's not about how much. It's about how unique."

Headlining their own sub genre of music, "Soul Dubstep," Watch the Duck is quickly gaining ground, even catching the eye of Linkin Parks Mike Shinoda. This is not your typical dubstep, and in fact transcends far beyond the Skrillex-like sounds everyone is used to. Watch the Duck embodies a few different musical genres including funk, soul, dubstep, and R&B. If Jimi Hendrix and Skrillex had a musical baby, "Poppin Off" would be their base-heavy, soulful child.

Make sure to grab their newish mix tape RUB-A-DUB (yep, that's R&B + Dub Step) out now.
