Here’s the Absolute Best of #TheGitUpChallenge

July 1, 2019

What has us feeling patriotic this Fourth of July week? #TheGitUpChallenge. Because only in the US of A could a country-meets-trap song inspire a viral dance craze. Bless you, Blanco Brown. Bless you, America.

For those who only understood about a third of the words in that first paragraph (hi, Mom!): “The Git Up” is a breakout hit song by Atlanta country/hip-hop artist Blanco Brown. Thanks to its instructional lyrics (“Do the 2 step, then cowboy boogie…”), which Brown illustrates in its official music video—and the fact that it’s a bona fide banger—the track has spawned #TheGitUpChallenge, in which fans try to recreate the choreo.

It’s one of the more delightful challenges we’ve seen in a bit. Here are a few of our favorite videos.
