YZ da General

YZ had the Master Plan from da jump. Bringing Black Awareness and responsibility was his platform during his Artist Career. Although he was young in age, he was definitely an Elder in wisdom. I know I’m one of the many that miss this Brother Lyrical Genius with da Mic. Now we have to settle with the blazin talent he now manages. YZ is currently on Tour with that real ass “Nappy Roots”. When I listened to “Po Folks” I'd have an attitude all day long. “Nappy Roots” is still doin it like no other and sayin what ever da F*ck they want to say…

For those who have lived on another planet and don’t know YZ  he is a hip-hop emcee from New Jersey. He released three albums: Sons of the Father (Tuff City Records, 1990), The Ghetto's Been Good to Me (Livin' Large/Tommy Boy/Warner Bros. Records, 1992) and "YZ Presents the Legend of Floyd Jones" released on his own label. YZ is the owner of Blackworld Entertainment, a management firm and he is the President of NREG (Nappy Roots Entertainment Group). He re-entered the personal management field and is managing recording artists Daddy O, Nappy Roots, Sonny Bonoho, Tray Chaney, Ozara Ode, Jeni Fujita, C-Love; producer/artist Bobbie Fine; and producers: King Midas and DJ Cozmos. Additionally he brokers for Stic.Man of Dead Prez and is the managing Consultant for the record label Team Maverick/700 Block, based in New Jersey.

YZ expanded his entertainment realm by getting behind the scenes of the television and radio world. He is the creator, executive producer, and host of the TV show Comin at Ya Live and the Internet's first hip-hop talk-radio show The After Thought.
