Synopsis

Product Description

"When it comes to creative, yU is the Native." yU began garnering attention after his group effort with Diamond District (Oddisee, yU, & XO) began to take over underground best of lists in 2009 - including itunes #2 Best of Independent Hiphop 2009 & DJ Premeire's Top 15 list, & Rolling Stone's "Hype Monitor". "Before Taxes" is yU's debut solo effort and brings his stoic philosophical style of artistic Hiphop to the table over solidly constructed production from Oddisee, Kev Brown, Slimkat78, and himself.

"Everything on this album is good. Lyrics are nice, production is AMAZING and the flow of the album as a whole is, to simply put it, smooth. yU delivers on all fronts, and I plead you buy this album."

"Finally an album that is concrete solid from start to finish! I bought this album because I felt Yu deserved my support. Usually I download albums but this album is a must have for my collection. This reminds me of the "bangers" of the 90's like Gangstarr's - Moment of Truth. Pure DOPENESS!!! Thanks Yu for not cutting corners and giving us a damn solid LP"
