Hurricane Chris is stirring the South

There's a storm brewing in Shreveport, Louisiana. It is a storm that takes the form of a cultural movement destined to alter America's cultural landscape the same way the crunk movement led by Lil Jon altered pop culture a few years ago. This new movement is called the Ratchet movement and it is helmed by a dynamic artist aptly named Hurricane Chris. The eighteen year old Shreveport native is currently causing quite a commotion down South with his blazing hot Polo Grounds Music/J Records single, "A Bay Bay."
According to Hurricane Chris, "'A Bay Bay' has its genesis in the namesake of the Ratchet's movement cornerstone DJ, Hollyhood Bay Bay, who spins at a club called KoKo Pellis. Whenever the DJ would come in the club the crowd would start chanting 'hey Bay Bay, hey Bay Bay.' After a while the crowd would do the chant whenever the club got ratchet regardless of who was on the wheels of steel.
"That became so catchy that I changed it from somebody's name to a slang 'A Bay Bay,'" says Hurricane Chris. "Now it's a word, it means fa sho."
If you haven't heard Hurricane Chris' "A Bay Bay" then you're missing out on the hottest club single since Lil Jon's "Bia Bia" or E-40's "Tell Me When To Go". The song is literally sweeping the nation like an uncontrollable firestorm, reeking havoc on dance floors from the H Town (Houston, Texas) to the ATL (Atlanta, Georgia) and everywhere in between.
