LA's New Boyz took an inner city dance and turned it into a national, and You Tube, sensation with their single "You're a Jerk." The song's based in part on the jerkin' dance craze on the streets of LA.
Rappers Ben J and Legacy, skinny jeans and all, bring jerkin' to town for a Labor Day Weekend concert Sept. 5 at Wet 'N' Wild Waterworld. Lloyd opens for the 17-year-old rappers.
Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door, on sale at Good Times stores.
