B. Yale is not your typical boastful rapper, though he likes the glamour as much as the next person does he uses his art to depict stories that the common listener can relate to. He infuses the old school feel of 90′s soul Hip-Hop with a blend of a new school flow while at times incorporating his voice. On top of being a potent MC he is also a writer, singer and just recently has been learning production and engineering. This past February he released a dedication mixtape/EP to celebrate the Life of the fallen legendary Hip Hop producer J. Dilla ,an artist he is highly influenced by, entitled “Long Live Jay Dee”. On the project he displays his skills over some of his favorite J. Dilla productions. The EP also marked his first solo release beyond demos and singles. He is currently working on his original debut EP due out in early December.
