*Digs in pocket to turn in late pass*

So I was over @ oddiseemusic.blogspot.com and saw that DJ Premier played DMV emcee/producer yU’s “Almost Time” on his podcast a few weeks back. “Almost Time” is featured on yU’s Before Taxes album and is produced by Landover, Maryland’s own Kev Brown.

This was posted on May 13th, which was also around the same time that Detroit’s Bling 47/Platinum Pied Piper Wajeed twittered that yU is one of his favorite emcees out right now (read it for yourself). Rounding that out with some very ill Diamond District shows in Seattle, Pomona & Portland and a few days to just chill in LA I would have to say that yU was a candidate for “Best Week Ever.” lol

If you haven’t picked up “Before Taxes” please do so immediately. 1/3 of the DMV crew Diamond District, yU IS one of the most genuine emcees out right now PERIOD. Him and the homie Slimkat (also known as the 78′ers) teamed up to drop a brilliant LP. Originally posted as a free download months ago @ freshselects.net Before Taxes is actually on the beginning, yU’s Official Joint “The Earn” drops in Oct.
