Allow me introduce Mr. YBR(Youngbillyross). He hails from East Texas, Longview to be exact, a part of Texas unfamiliar to most people outside of the area. An area commonly referred to as the 903 rests between Dallas, TX and Shreveport, LA. Mr. YBR has been influenced by many Genres of music from variety of artists, but none more than two of the greatest MCs/Writers of all time, the late Tupac Shakur and The D.O.C, The “Icon” Prince, and what he calls “The greatest R&B group ever” New Edition. Early in his career he was labeled the R&B MC as a result of his love of using R&B tracks as opposed to the more traditional hip hop/rap tracks being used by most MC’S at the time. With a sharp tongue, quick wit, and country twang, Mr. YBR punishes tracks with his laid back almost hypnotic delivery. Acknowledging the lack of attention shown the East Texas area, he has taken a more aggressive approach to Hip Hop in East Texas, “Before Scarface put Houston on the map, before Nelly put St. Louis on the map, before No limit and Cash Money put New Orleans on the map, nobody cared what went on in those cities as far as Hip Hop was concerned. So Instead of waiting on someone to say they came here and put us on the map, we’re going to do it ourselves.” Not only Longview, but Tyler, Marshall, Texarkana, Palestine, Sulphur Springs, Paris, and the surrounding areas are ready to make their mark. With production by Kaoss Beats, P@Hix, and Legacy Music Group the sky is the limit. For interview requests, show dates or more information on Mr. YBR, please send inquiries to:
