Ghost Town DJ's (often stylized as Ghostown DJs) was an American
Atlanta, Georgia
whose members consisted of
Dj DEMP, Rodney Terry, Greg Street and Kito, which recorded the 1996 Running Man Challenge", which first emerged on Vine
.
Formation and recording of My Boo
Rodney Terry founded the group, inspired by the
So So Def at the time and is noted as the executive producer of the song. Rodney Terry and Carl Mahone co-produced it, and it was the second version of the beat currently used in the song.[1]
Name
The name was based upon
Luther Campbell aka Luke Skyywalker's Ghetto Style DJs, a Miami based DJ crew that was popular in the 1980s. Taking his inspiration from them, Terry chose the name, Ghost Town DJ's, which implies the term "ghost town" meaning to be heard and not seen. It is the reason why the group's members are never seen, but are enjoying the group's music. A matter of contention has been the misspelling of the name Ghostown DJ's with one T vs Ghost Town DJs, which the group has been trying to correct for the past 22 years.[1]
