| DOWNLOAD YOSHI'S FIRST MIXTAPE ALBUM "UNORTHODOX SLANG" 2004
FOR FREE HERE!!!:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3yhdwqn5qwj In the world of hip-hop, Yoshi is utterly unique: a versatile rapper, poet, and songwriter who explores the musical roots of his Pacific Islander and African American heritage like no one else has (or could). Trained by his music teacher father and seasoned through years of poetry slams, talent shows, and musical and rap performances, Yoshi found his audience in the Metro Detroit hip-hop scene while a student at nearby Eastern Michigan University. Always at the grindstone, he found success as a rapper and songwriter while earning his degree in Communications. His unique combination of soul and swagger were immediately obvious upon the release of his tour de force "Unorthodox Slang." That disc, along with his latest EP "Headknod Oddyssey," proved popular with a hugely diverse audience from all over the world and set the stage for his new group Sol Uniq. As shown by his endless and successful hustling for listeners, Yoshi is neither a hobbyist nor an amateur. He is a rising and undeniable voice in hip-hop who has been compared to Common and L.L. Cool J., and has shared the stage with Saul Williams, long-time Wu-Tang collaborator Killah Priest, MTV2's Amanda Diva, One Be Lo, Fred Hammond, Matthew Santos, Miz Korona (best known for her appearance in "8 Mile"), Athletic Mic League, Subterraneous, and more. Yoshi is a veteran of the business with underground credibility and mainstream appeal. His refreshingly pure, conscious, and soul-driven music and his intense personal charisma will make him unstoppable in 2008. Watch yourself. Yoshi is 'bout to blow.
