YrkDaRapper: US-based rapper on verge of global stardom

There is a popular saying that states that talent is not enough. It has never been enough. All over the world, there are people with talent that don’t even know how to channel such talent. Some of them are unlucky to not even discover the talent which makes the development and exploration of such assets tasking and almost impossible.

United States of America-based rapper, next to fashion icon, entrepreneur, and singer YrkDaRapper is not one of such fellows. Although he was born with a talent. It took some time out at Blue Lite Studio in Mount Holly, New Jersey for such talent to be nurtured. Thanks to his most supportive mother who put him in such a studio. His time out at the studio became a catalyst to his current artistic voyage which has been on for close to a decade.

Meeting likes mind, like pianists, organists, lyricists, rappers, singers and even future label executives was all he needed to reinvigorate his skill. He was able to sharpen his talent and also finally give music all the needed attention.

YrkDaRapper is from a place Naughty by Nature, Queen Latifah called home. This place is ranked as one of the places that produces great Hip-Hop. With a resolve to continue from where his mentors and predecessor stopped, YrkDaRapper has released more than two projects in the last six years. His first was released in 2018 with tracks like “Madness,” “The Paint,” and others.

YrkDaRapper’s music is heavily built on Hip-Hop with the beat pattern mostly leaning between Trap, Drill and Rap. The lyrics are sometimes reflective of the rapper’s state of mind with a deliberate detour to his growing-up days.

The music can be motivating whenever the rapper chooses to be. On one of his earliest records, the rapper paid tribute to his father. On the track titled “RIP Dad,” the rapper profusely tells his father his dream, tribulation and triumph. Listening to it right now, it might have been dated however it is still a beautiful track that shows the mettle this rapper is made of. He chooses his words carefully, likewise his choice of beat pattern, samples and others. It is a combination of a myriad of things.

What is life without mentorship? The rapper considers Meek Mill his favourite artiste and in a way, the Philadelphia-raised singer and rapper has provided the needed motivation for him to sail through life’s difficulties. The impact of such mentorship can be found in the way he arranges his music, channels his emotions, chooses his collaborators and more.

With more than two bodies of work released so far and a lot of singles, it is evident that YrkDaRapper has a lot to show the American music world and the world in general. With the right label support, more skill sharpening by him and the right people around him, YrkDaRapper might just be heading to the elusive stardom.
