It’s amazing how far a record can go with just a little help from your friends, and in J. Dash’s case, it was Disney sweetheart-turned-Hip-Hop-Twerk leader, Miley Cyrus. The “WOP” originally started as a dance Dash and his friends created in his Gainesville, Florida home, and eventually turned into a record that circulated the club scene, and soon landed into the living-rooms of America—with the latter being in thanks to Miley’s ground-shaking video of her twerking to Dash’s “WOP,” which has gone viral and gained over four million views on YouTube. Much like everyone else, Dash was somewhat blindsided by the sight of Billy Ray’s baby girl getting ratchet to his song while wearing a onesie.

“I didn’t know she can move like that,” Dash told HipHopDX during an exclusive interview. “Miley [Cyrus] had hit me up months ago out of love saying she really loved this record. I was like, ‘Oh, cool.’ We kept in touch since then. So when it dropped that night, I was in my bed…still sick. Somebody asked me if I had seen the video. I went and looked at it on Facebook. I hit her up immediately saying it’s crazy. She was like, ‘You dig it?’ But we had been talking about it for months before that. She loved the record and we joked about doing the dance to it. I just never knew she was going to drop that video on Facebook to 24 million people.” SOURCE
