MUSICIAN
Spankrock, 26
(a.k.a. Naeem Juwan)

WHO HE IS: A smut-mouthed geek turned master MC addicted to cutting-edge electronica and frank discussions of booty-related issues.

WHY HE'S RADICAL: Having staked his rep on quirky odes to Lindsay Lohan's lady parts and Rick Rubin, Juwan decided to challenge himself with a concept album "concentrated only on sex" and based exclusively on 2 Live Crew samples. The result, coming out next year on Downtown Records, is packed thick with enough obscene club-bangers to fuel an entire night of filthy fun.

WHERE YOU'LL SEE HIM NEXT: In a New York studio, recording another album with XXXChange, his collaborator on 2006's YoYoYoYoYo.

WHY HIS SEX TALK ISN'T CONTROVERSIAL: "I think I'm pretty reasonable with the way I say things. The only people I might offend are my aunts or my mom. Other than that ... it's not like Lindsay Lohan has even heard my music."
