"Party Up (Up in Here)" is a song by American rapper DMX, released as the second single from his third album ... And Then There Was X (1999) and was his most successful single (in the US). There are three versions of the song: an explicit/album version; a censored album version, and a radio/video edit version. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance but lost to Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady".
The song was voted number 56 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '00s.[1] It was listed at No. 388 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2021.[2]

The video premiered on the week of April 3, 2000.[3] It has over 180 million views on YouTube as of October 2024. The video was shot at the Frost Bank building on Market Street in Galveston, Texas.[4]
In media and sports
[edit]"Party Up" is used by Chilean wrestler Perfecto Bundy, as his entrance song.[5]
The 1999-2000 Los Angeles Lakers were seen singing the song’s hook after their series-clinching win over the Indiana Pacers in the 2000 NBA Finals.
The song is played at Lincoln Financial Field at every Philadelphia Eagles home game every time the Philadelphia Eagles score a touchdown, at Dodger Stadium at every Los Angeles Dodgers home game when they hit a home run, and at T-Mobile Park when the Seattle Mariners hit a home run.
Electronic Arts licensed the track for the 2003 sports video game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004, where it plays as an intro.[6][7]
