LMFAO is a grammy-nominated electro-hop group from Los Angeles, California that consists of DJ/rappers Redfoo (Stefan Gordy) and Sky Blu (Skyler Gordy). Both artists are related to Berry Gordy, with Redfoo the son of the Motown Records founder and Sky Blu his nephew. The group’s name comes from an Internet conversation that Sky Blu had with his grandmother. LMFAO is currently signed to Interscope Records. They have a single titled "I’m in Miami Bitch" (alternate title "I’m In Miami Trick") which peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100.

They released “Party Rock” in July 7, 2009 physically and digitally by Interscope Records. The album has prominent electronica characteristics with influences of hip hop, 80′s synthpop and dance with lyrics about partying, drinking, and sex. The album was nominated at the 52nd Grammy Awards for Best Electronic/Dance Album.

They released a debut single "I’m in Miami Bitch" (also known by the radio version, "I’m in Miami Trick"). It was officially released in early 2009. It peaked at #51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in July 2009. The song has also charted on the Canadian Hot 100, peaking at #37. This song is the theme song for the 2009 reality television program Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami. The song was also featured in a 2009 commercial on A&E Network advertising the show CSI: Miami.

Their second single, "La La La" debuted at #61 on the Billboard 100. Their third single "Shots" has currently peaked at 68 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Initial critical response to Party Rock was mixed. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 63, based on four reviews. Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times calls "Party Rock" a mixture of the "same pleasures as those remixes: thumping ’80s-inspired beats, instantly catchy synth hooks, shouty catchphrases about how "what happens at the party stays at the party". Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone calls Party Rock a mixture of sleazy jams, booty boasts and enough irony to clog your Jacuzzi.
