Yazo- Mona Lisa (The Worst remix)

Perfect Storm

Inception

YAZO WAS BORN ON DECEMBER 20, 1986 AND RAISED IN CHICAGO'S INFAMOUS LOGAN SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS PUERTO RICAN LYRICIST WAS INFLUENCED BY HIP HOP LEGENDS OF THE 90'AS WELL AS OLD SCHOOL SALSA, HIS GOAL IS TO CREATE MUSIC PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE CAN RELATE TO.

AS MOST PEOPLE, YAZO IS NO STRANGER TO THE STRUGGLE AND USES HIS LIFE LONG TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS AS AMMUNITION FOR HIS MUSIC. LIKE ANY OTHER MC HIS ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO ROCK THE CROWD AS WELL AS EDUCATE THE MASSES. DEALING WITH HEALTH ISSUES FROM AN EARLY AGE AND WITNESSING HIS MOTHER, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER LOVED ONES SUFFER THROUGH LONG BATTLES OF CANCER, HE QUICKLY LEARNED TO APPRECIATE LIFE FROM AN EARLY AGE WHILE ALSO DEALING WITH THE SEPARATION OF HIS PARENTS AT THE AGE OF 15. "MAN OF THE HOUSE" BECAME A REALITY AND A CHILD HOOD WAS NOW OUT OF THE QUESTION. GROWING UP IN A NEIGHBORHOOD INFESTED WITH DRUGS AND GANG VIOLENCE, A TOUGH AND GRITTY DEMEANOR WAS INEVITABLE AND IT IS REFLECTED IN HIS LYRICS. BESIDES HIS STRONG FAITH IN A HIGHER POWER HIS ONLY REFUGE IS AND 
WAS MUSIC WHICH IS WHERE HE REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO CONNECT WITH THE LISTENER.

NOTORIUS B.I.G, TUPAC, NAS, BIG PUN, DMX, SCARFACE, COMMON SENSE, HECTOR LAVOE, WU-TANG, MOBB DEEP, 50 CENT AND LLOYD BANKS WERE ALL MAJOR MUSICAL INFLUENCES JUST TO NAME A FEW. NOT BECAUSE HE IDOLIZED THEM OR THEIR LIFESTYLES BUT FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THE MUSIC WAS RELATABLE. YAZO IS ON A MISSION TO REVIVE THE ESSENCE OF HIP HOP FROM ITS EARLY STAGES AND GIVE PEOPLE 
SOMETHING MORE THAN WHAT THE MAINSTREAM CURRENTLY OFFERS. YAZO IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON BUILDING HIS CATALOG AS WELL AS HIS FAN BASE. THIS YOUNG LATINO WILL SOON BE A HOUSEHOLD NAME AND A BREATHE OF FRESH AIR FOR ALL DEMOGRAPHICS.
