peace to Yak

Yak Ballz – Blind Faith (Adept remix)

I’m thinkin it has something to do with the bitin’ theories regarding Yak Ballz’ cover art, but what do I know.

Some people forget that they’re known in the real world. No matter how much they reinvent themselves as big men talking loud with authority in the internet world to people who know no better, they’re still just little gimps in the real world and will get treated accordingly.

First leak from compilation album DJXP4. The artwork also just got posted, poor kid (guess it got taken down). Thanks Katy.

The homemade video for the song “Underrated” off of Scifentology II. This video aint very ambitious, but it was fun to make. None of the artists involved were too hype with the finished product, but ehhhh…it is what it is….HOMEMADE in Hoboken,NJ 2008

Yak Ballz live in the studio of the “Coffee Break For Heroes and Villains” Radio show on WFMU 91.1

Closeup heavy.

Haven’t heard about this new album coming out Oct 14th, which sounds like it was recorded in a frantic 24-hour recording session. Might hit this up. Performers include Yak Ballz, Pace Won, Homeboy Sandman, Poison Pen and more. buy tickets, album info

Indie hip-hop icon C-Rayz Walz teams up with fresh-faced, yeshiva-trained wordsmith Kosha Dillz for twelve tracks that mix freestyle and written rhymes, classic and new-school beats, and the frantic, fast-paced energy of a single, manic 24-hour recording session to produce, yes, “Freestyle Vs. Written,” the first collaboration of its type. CMJ writes, “.. it’s both a statement of cultural solidarity and creative open-mindedness.”

It’s an album that breaks borders and pushes boundaries. Songs like “I Love Jews” and “Ariel Sharon” are packed with classic hip rock samples and party moving sounds. Boasting collaborations with Murs, Matisyahu and MF Doom between them, and gracing the covers of magazines such as Entertainment Weekly and Source Magazine and spots on MTV, the two artists are ready to take the world by storm.

This soon-to-be-classic record was produced entirely by, 19-year-old Kentron Da Mastadon, who challenges the hip hop mold, armed with an MP of psychedelic rock riffs and jazz chops weaving the perfect backdrop for this Jerusalem Zionist-meets-Black Bronx ghetto aesthetic.

* 10% of all proceeds will be donated to Netivot Israel Louna Terror Victim Fund and to the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, an organization dedicated to strengthening relations between ethnic communities, headed by Russell Simmons and Rabbi Marc Schneier.

Scheduled to perform on this tour are Rakim, Gza, De La Soul, Hieroglyphics, Blackalicious, Sage Francis, Little Brother, Murs, 9th Wonder, Buckshot, Supernatural, Scratch, Kidz in the Hall, Solillaquists of Sound, Yak Ballz, Braille and Bernard Dolan.

Format: You’re also Scifen’s flagship artist. What sort of duties does that entail, and what sort of liberties can you exercise?

Yak Ballz: Making people aware of the brand. Rocking the gear. Getting Scifen involved in what I do, as well as doing everything I can to stay involved in what they do, like events and creating concepts. I also get clothes on artists that I am cool with and respect. It’s a family that I am proud to be a part of.

Format: Being one of the better-known rappers of Iranian descent, do you that feel you have a torch to carry?

Yak Ballz: Not really. I never got into it thinking I’m going to be the best or best-known Persian rapper. Most people who listen to me don’t even know what nationality I am. It just so happens that I’m Persian and good at what I do. The only torch I carry is the one that reps the kids who believe in themselves while everyone else sleeps.
