(September 26, 2008) - New York, NY - Big Oomp Records / KOCH Records is set to release UNK's highly-anticipated sophomore album, Second Season. Second Season is the follow up to 2006's Beat'n Down Yo Block, which contained the platinum smash hits, "Walk It Out,"and "2 Step," both approaching a whopping 6 million combined digital/mobile units.

"Show Out," the first single from Second Season was produced DJ Montay, who also produced "Get Low," the record breaking single from Flo-Rida featuring T-Pain. Montay also produced multi-platinum digital singles "Walk It Out" and "2 Step" for UNK, as well as Three 6 Mafia's "I'd Rather."

"Show Out" just went for Radio Adds this week with 50 stations coming on board, and was the #1 most added and urban and rhythmic. You can listen to it by clicking on the following link: http://kochent.edgeboss.net/download/kochent/radiohits/unk_showout.mp3

A video for "Show Out" was shot in Atlanta and directed by Raging Nation Films director Dale "Rage" Resteghini (Jim Jones, The Game, Three 6 Mafia). The video will be serviced everywhere shortly.

KOCH Records President Bob Frank states, "UNK has delivered another great album filled with hits! We are thrilled to be partners with Big Oomp and UNK and look forward to working this project throughout 2009."

UNK adds, "Second Season highlights the best beat makers in the country: Top Quality Productions, home of Big Oomp Records. We brought you the first album Beat'n Down Your Block and its hits "Walk It Out" and "2 Step." I'm back with my sophomore album Second Season. This album represents the world tour I've just come back from. I've been inspired by my fans and this record is for my fans."

Since the October 2006 release of his debut album Beat'n Down Yo Block, UNK catapulted into the spotlight as one of Atlanta's brightest new talents. With his inescapable hit "Walk It Out" (a #1 song at Urban radio nationwide, and a Platinum-certified single and ringtone), UNK quickly became a forced to be reckoned with.

Beat'n Down Yo Block went on to spend 74 consecutive weeks on the Billboard New Artist chart.

With Pro athletes and high profile hip-hop stars alike (OutKast and Jim Jones both appeared on the remix to "Walk It Out") latching on to the Atlanta phenom's dance craze, a second single, "2 Step," followed and also became a huge hit everywhere proving that UNK was no one hit wonder. The two singles sold 3 million ringtones and 2.6 million digital units combined. UNK was Billboard's #1 top new hip hop artist of 2007
