    "Damn!" is a song by the Atlanta rap duo YoungBloodZ. It was released as the second single from their second studio album Drankin' Patnaz, and was produced and guest performed by Lil Jon. A club mix appears on the duo's third studio album. It is their biggest hit song to date, peaking at number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and remaining YoungBloodZ's sole top ten single.

    Background[edit]

    While recording the album, the group didn’t feel like it had any singles so they contacted Jermaine Dupri who was executive producing the project, to go back into the recording studio. The duo's attorney, Vince Phillips, who also a business partner and friend of the producer Lil Jon called him in to produce the new track for the duo. "Instantly, man, we knew it was the one. You could tell by the energy in the room" says J-Bo. [1]

    Lil Jon's BME Recording artist, Bohagon was in attendance and wrote the hook for the song.[2]

    Reception[edit]

    Ranked #47 on Complex Magazines Best 100 Songs of 2000s, [3] the single won Single of the Year/Collaboration at the 2004 Source Awards.[4] The songwriters also won ASCAP and BMI awards for the song in the same year, [5] and was also nominated for Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles-Airplay and Hot Rap Tracks at the 2004 Hip-Hop/R&BBillboard Awards.[6]

    In 2018, the song was featured in an episode of the ABC TV series, Single Parents.[7]
