Read moreyU, the DMV emcee and member of Diamond District and The 1978ers, is preparing for the release of his follow up to last years critically acclaimed Before Taxes. On December 13th, yU will release his sophomore album The EARN. To kick off his campaign yU has decided to show off of his skills as a producer by giving away a free 23 track instrumental project humorously titled “A Garbage Beat Tape.” yU’s foray into production on “A Garbage Beat Tape” is nothing short of stellar. The wordsmith puts in work with ASR-XPro to produce a concept driven instrumental album on par with Prince Paul and Madlib productions. The project makes light of how seriously people can sometimes take things. “It’s a thin line between quality and garbage. It’s really up to each person to decide. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” says yU. Refuse recycled into royalty. A Garbage Beat Tape by yU Previously: Uptown XO & yU (of Diamond District) – I Mean Business (Live) [Video] yU feat.

Read moreyU | Disturbed feat B.Jamelle by yU yU has been busy getting his new album The EARN ready for it’s December 13th release. But not too busy to scare up a new joint for Halloween. The song is titled Disturbed and features B. Jamelle. Disturbed serves as a slight dosage of the mood you’ll find on the upcoming Killer project to be released thru Mello Music Group in of October 2012. The Song: Disturbed is the result of watching a whole lotta sci fi/horror joints and loving how the stories played on your senses. yU heard the beat (produced by Usef Dinero) and was reminded me of waking up from a dream that he didn’t quite understand, feeling all shook up. “Serial killer flick, watching.. Maybe I should turn / Or do I like the sight of blood, maybe i’m disturbed” The song is produced by Usef Dinero, a verry dope cat from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – who also produced a song on yU’s upcoming album The EARN, called “Write On”. Folks should stay on the lookout for an upcoming project from Usef & yU called “Flying High” down the road as well. Disturbed also features vocalist B.Jamelle – who was able to match the songs mood perfectly, with some haunting oohs & ahhs. She is also finishing up an EP w/ yU’s 1978ers’ partner Slimkat78.
