Ya Boy- Chapter 1: The Rise

Ya Boy is an artist from the bay who used to be (maybe still is) affiliated with Black Wall Street way back when. Back when he was getting his name around he did a few tapes with DJ Skee that were really dope. I believe Chapter 1: The Rise was the first of them.
Off the strength of this tape, I acquired the rest of dude's discog and it proved to be much less impressive. There was a certain quality to Ya Boy that got lost in translation as his career grew. Chapter 1 captured that raw vibe and supplemented it with superb production. You'd do well to check this tape.
