Introducing YFame an “Emcee/Music Producer/Songwriter/Graphic Designer/Dreamer” born and raised in Philadelphia but currently residing in YPBlogSpot’s Very Own home town of Pennsauken, New Jersey. I decided to share to singles off of YFame’s mixtape “The Somebody-ish Nobody” that’s going to be released and available for download (free.99) November 2nd via www.iamYFame.com . The first single titled “In the Air” in which YFame raps about his music career taking off and dealing with fame over a pretty smooth beat and hook. The second single titled “P.S.A.” features a more aggressive YFame rapping over a more aggressive beat as well regarding wack rappers. Both tracks are produced by YFame and are pretty impressive in my opinion. Enjoy YPs and share your thoughts on YFame’s music.
