 Timothy Jason Moore (Born June 19,1988) better known by his stage name Tj Yj or Yj for short. 25 year old tatted local rapper out of Killeen TX, started getting in to music at age 17. Had a trouble start after moving from his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama after his mother joined the army. Had a hard time coping with a lot of things going on in his life, so he resorted to music after trying to pursue a interest in basketball which didn't work out to well, "I took that as a lesson learned, I went in a little boy and came out a man". Starting expressing pain and anger through his lyrics to relieve stress. After doing a 4 year sentence and being released in late 2012 Yj came out a new man and ready to start over fresh. Started a small clique with a few friends (BMC) which quickly became a popular around the Killeen area. After only being out a year and few months he accomplished work, going to school for a music degree, having 2 kids and finally settling down getting married. At that point he was ready to finally launch his music career. Immediately Yj begin spending countless hours in the studio, writing music. Shortly after Yj started shooting videos. His first single off the "BMC Mix tape" BMC or Fight Me blew up quick in central Texas. Right after shooting his first video to "BMC or fight Me" Feat. Duncross (Member of BMC) he then dropped his first solo video for his single "Pull up Hop Out" which also had a lot of excellent feedback. Fans of his were ready for more material, Yj immediately hopped back in the studio to put in work for his supporters. The highly anticipated solo mix tape "Dwayne Yj Wade" is due to drop September 27th of this year "It's going to be a classic, Yj at it's best, the world will pay attention to Yj once it drops" he stated. He has a lot of collaborations with local artist out of the Killeen area. Hoping to soon be able to work with one of his favorite artist (Waka Flocka Flame), he says "I respect his grind, I feel like we come from the same background". Trying to balance being a hot local artist and family is not easy, "I love being a father, it's a challenge for me everyday but I'm learning. I just want my daughters to be proud of their daddy, after all that's who I'm doing this for" . After recently dropping a collaboration mix tape called 'Best of Both Families' with friend "Peezy"  he was put to the test to put together a great mix tape in 2 weeks while balancing father/husband duties. "I'm glad I have a wife who understands the work I have to put in this music, she respects I spend long hours in the studio. I have a great support system at home". Yj's work is no where near completed yet, he plans on continuing to bring out "Turnt up" tracks, "I feel as if that genre of music will never die, that is my type of music. Club hits are what's hot right now". When asked where did he see himself in the next 5 years in his music career he said "I see myself as a international star, dropping my first album on a major record label, touring over seas, hopefully branching off and be my own CEO". So look out for Tj Yj, he is taking this rap game by storm, be looking out for a lot more fire music from this man, known for his favorite saying "SQUUUUUAAAAAADDDDD!!!!" which you will hear on every track.  When asked what did it take to become a great rapper he just simply said "Gotta have God first man, you can't expect any blessings if you don't have him first, have to stay motivated and have to make sacrifices"
