"Batter Up" is a song by American hip hop group
St. Lunatics, with member
Nelly credited as a featured artist. The track was produced by
Steve "Blast" Wills and first appeared on Nelly's debut solo album, Country Grammar (2000). It was later included on the group's album Free City (2001) as a bonus track. A remixed version of "Batter Up" appears on Nelly's album Da Derrty Versions: The Reinvention (2003).
The song's
hook interpolates "Movin' On Up", the
theme song of the television sitcom The Jeffersons.[1] The show's star
Sherman Hemsley appears in the music video for "Batter Up",[1] initially as a
sports announcer and later dancing with members of St. Lunatics.
