Blanco Brown to amerykański piosenkarz, autor tekstów i producent muzyczny, który współpracował z Chrisem Brownem i Pitbullem. Wychował się w Atlancie w stanie Georgia, słuchając artystów hip-hopowych, między innymi duetu OutKast, latem natomiast odwiedzał swoją babcię w Butler w stanie Georgia, gdzie słuchał gwiazd country, w tym Johnnego Casha. Oba gatunki muzyki miały na niego ogromny wpływ, czego dowodem jest debiutancki singiel Browna "The Git Up", będący połączeniem muzyki country z lat 80. XX w. i beatboxingu.

Blanco Brown - The Git Up (tekst piosenki)
Right now
I just need you to get real loose
Get comfortable
Grab your loved ones or grab your love partner
And if you're by yourself no worries
Just follow after me
Gon' and do the two step then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (whoo, whoo, whoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Gon' throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back, put your hips in it
(Whoo, whoo, whoo) let's have some fun
To the left, to the left now (to the left, to the left)
To the right to the right (to the right)
Now take your left hand and put it on your side (put it on your side)
Go on, roll your shoulders (roll your shoulders)
Do the slip and slide (do the slip and slide)
This next part's my favorite part 'cause it's time to shine
Gon' and do the two step then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (whoo, whoo, whoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Gon' throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back put your hips in it
It's simple, you can do it (whoo, whoo, whoo)
Slide to the left (left), slide to the right (right)
Now cool down, have a good time
Slide to the left, slide to the right
Do the butterfly and have a good time
'Round, 'round, 'round and 'round you go
It's time to show out right now and take it to the floor
Gon' and do the two step then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (whoo, whoo, whoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Gon' throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back put your hips in it (whoo, whoo, whoo)
Take it down now, take it, take it down now
Take it down now, take it, take it down now
(To the right) Bring it up now, bring it, bring it up now
Bring it up now, bring it, bring it up now
(To the front) Take it down and crisscross
Bring it up now crisscross
(To the back) Do whatever you like right here (get down)
Just have fun
Gon' and do the two step then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (whoo, whoo, whoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Gon' throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back put your hips in it (whoo, whoo, whoo)
That was not so bad, that was not so bad, was it?
That was not so bad, that was not so bad, was it?
That was not so bad, that was not so bad, was it?
That was not so bad, that was not so bad, was it?
Gon' and do the two step then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (whoo, whoo, whoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Gon' throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back put your hips in it (whoo, whoo, whoo)
