In the midst of a hip-hop era cluttered by Southern crunk hits and surrounded by the West Coast gangster rap sound, there has arisen something new.
Something Different.
His name is Yuns, and his smoothly rhythmic delivery and articulate lyrics represent the new cutting edge in hip-hop. Refusing to follow any trends, Yuns slices his own path, telling personal stories and social observations in an honest yet positive manner. Part storyteller, part poet, Yuns - "The Verbal Architect" - narrates his stories with a flurry of hot beats behind his rhymes. His fluidic use of vocabulary and intensely vivid portrayal of the world make him an absolutely stunning lyricist. With each verse Yuns lays down the foundation of a hit. Each lyric seems to have been intricately placed in order to create vivid imagery in every song. Whether it is down the path of hip-hop; in the bedroom with a freak of the opposite sex; or at the bar of a nightclub, each track takes the listener on an eventful ride through the mind of Yuns and places you in the front row seat of the world through his eyes. The gloom and doom that often characterizes hip-hop has been ripped away; Yuns has torn open the curtains, letting the sunlit rays of optimism and good vibrations beam through. It's no surprise, then, that industry professionals have dubbed him "the Dave Matthews of hip-hop." Unmatched in his genre, he is the messiah of a long dead region in need of a representative.
With a genuine talent for writing catchy, radio-friendly hooks, and producing top quality songs, Yuns has transformed the stagnant state of Northwest hip-hop, setting it ablaze with his presence. Not since the early days of Nirvana has Seattle seen an artist with the charisma, poise, and star quality of Yuns.
Currently Yuns is receiving massive regional acclaim throughout the Northwest for his new album Storyteller. With a complete live band experience, Yuns stage show has been compared to that of the Roots or the Black Eyed Peas. Yuns first single “Radio” featuring Dante Thomas is currently in rotation on several commercial and non-commercial radio stations around the country including: KUBE/Seattle, KMIH/Seattle, KVTI/Tacoma, KFFM/Yakima, KHHK/Yakima, KWIN/Stockton, KZMG/Boise, WNOV/Milwaukee, KOHT/Tucson and XHTO/El Paso.
No nonsense, No garbage
His name is Yuns.
And he owns the Northwest!
