(Oakland, California) To put it simply, ymtk pushes the envelope of musicality in Hip-Hop. He has always been more out-of-the-box than his East Oakland roots suggest, and his music reflects that he has a style that is uniquely his own. ymtk’s professional career began as a songwriter, but he has since demonstrated that his solo work fills a niche that hasn’t been tapped by other artists of this generation. His live performances alone consistently captivate fans and industry insiders alike.
Indisputable talent and continued rapport with rising stars have filled ymtk’s resume with collaborations with some of the most popular artists coming out of California, such as Nic Nac, Marc E Bassy, Too $hort, IAMSU!, Kool John, Clyde Carson, Bobby Brackins, Rexx Life Raj, Problem, and Nef The Pharaoh.. just to name a handful.
MTV and VH1 have cosigned ymtk heavily by featuring his songs in primetime programming. There has been consist interest from listeners all around the world for the unique sound that ymtk has crafted over the last few years, being booked in Canada, Australia, United Kingdom & United Arab Emirates. It is no small thing that ymtk has independently attracted hundreds of thousands of views/plays on the web, and there's no telling where he'll take his one of a kind sound next.
