Lost in the music from time to time, these two young men flourishing with talent propose a new face for the record companies and a new smoother more comfortable feeling for the music industry. It’s not all about fun and games when it comes to J-Nova and Yung Prodi which are the headliners of this group that goes by the name of Y.B.R. They represent that name as if it were branded onto their souls. In their portable music devices you would find music from all over the United States and from all different genres. Open-minded but yet recluse and to themselves they respectfully make their advancement to the top. With a rapid growing fan base they are preparing to release their debut album called Elevated Heights to really portray their true talent. Yung, Black and Reckless, a new face for the Game, truly a new crew on the scene attacks the title with a force to be reckoned with.
J-Nova a 16 year old honor student encounters with a flourishing Yung Prodi that has a friendship that continues to grow from the beginning of their abnormal meeting. Yung Prodi who has been working on his rapping for about 4 years prior to Y.B.R. has songs that he wishes to present to J-Nova who has been writing for about the same amount of time as Prodi. Nova now becomes interested in creating a studio in which where the two can record their compilations after hearing the quality of Prodiâ’s music. They released their first track together at a home studio by an engineer by the name of Korrupto. The engineer becomes shocked that this is their first time on the microphone in a studio and has his fellow producer to continue making tracks with the young Y.B.R. They released their first demo for their newly gained audience of Santaluces High School students. Instant popularity and new group of friends was made since the demo was released.
The group took a new toll once it was reassembled in the August of 2008 where they took their rap game to another level with the release of their first track called “Cuz I Hustle” which had their community shell-shocked that the group was back together and they released such an amazing track with such good production.
Ever since then their team has grown from 4 to 9 and have assembled some very talented artists along the way. Y.B.R. was formed as a group to service the people with the stories, lyrics and emphasis of an excellent rap group. One listen of their music or them in the studio and it will portray to you that they indeed bleed music.
How did you get that name? People were always saying when we spit lyrics on the mic we would always recklessly attack a track.
For J-Nova-The first letter of his name is his first name and people always used to say he was hotter than the sun thats where he came about with the whole supernova thing.
For Prodi Da Kidd- He was the youngest out of the whole click and he always was a prodigy in the sense that his lyrics never slacked they always improved and became harder with each track.
What has been your biggest accomplishment? People relations in the sense that when we go out to the clubs or events and we either have to promote or just hang out we are known, get shout outs on the regular, DJs know us, club owners love us, its just the takeover.
What has been your most difficult challenge? Unifying the group due to the fact that the group is larger than the two people you see on the screen and pictures, we have other artists and people in the click.
