Biography of YD

YD, a Hip-Hop artist residing in Southwestern Pennsylvania, is the next big thing this genre will embrace. From his passion, which currently seems to be missing in the game, to how he carries himself on and off the mic, there is no better representation of Hip-Hop culture. Although he claims “I’m so east coast, down to my street clothes”, YD’s style transcends from coast to coast and every demographic. “I just have that flavor, that swag,” says YD. “I got people from the South, the Midwest, NY, so I guess all that just rubs off on me.”

It’s no longer breaking news that the state of Hip-Hop isn’t what it used to be. With record sales at an all time low, the numbers are forcing rappers to follow trends and compromise the art form. YD doesn’t see that as a problem at all boasting, “I’m someone America will fall in love with. I’m a Grammy Award Winning artist. I look good on a poster.” He definitely has the confidence it takes but at the same time very humble. “I’m the first one to say “I’m the illest!”, but I’m also the first one to say “Thank you, I appreciate it.”

As far as the music is concerned, YD’s attitude is “How you want it?” From showcasing the swagger on “On Point”, to appealing to the ladies on “Here For A While”, to depicting the youth living too fast on “Take It Slow”, which is like a short-film on wax with lines such as “her period was late, she aint say a word to mom/ test stick in her urine stream was her First Response/ seen the two pink lines and broke down”, YD proves to be one of the best overall, period. “To be honest, I’m just blessed. I say that because I just do me and it appeals.”

YD’s reasoning for striving to get on is different than most, he claims “I already live like a star. I already have a mean fan-base. I already have a successful career which includes albums, mixtapes, concerts, photo shoots, radio interviews, videos, etc.” He continues, “I would say personally, but many others feel this way too, I just feel the game and the people who truly love this would be missing out on something special.” All it’s going to take is one meeting for major record labels to lock the door and pull out the paper and pen.
