He's definitely more known for It Wasn't Me.
Depends on how old you are
Edit: ... old or very old?
Indeed. I'm very old, and had to think twice to even remember It Wasn't Me.
I've never heard of that song, but definitely know Boombastic. Generational difference?
The "froggy voice"
DIs use it when they lose their normal voices in the first few weeks of training
Wait... Did he actually sing that song? I always thought it was a guest artist. Like how Gorillaz got Snoop Dog and Mos Def and what not.
