Backyard Dog Explained
Backyard Dog is a musical duo from Manchester,[1] consisting of Aniff Akinola and Lloyd Hanley.[2] The name "backyard dog" comes from when Akinola booted Hanley out of his recording studio, culminating in him saying "you can't treat me like this, you're treating me like a backyard dog".[3]
Their 2001 single, "Baddest Ruffest", reached No. 15 on the UK Singles Chart,[4] and was used as the 2002 FIFA World Cup theme, and in the films Ali G Indahouse and Bend It Like Beckham.[5]
