The YMD announce February release

Comments disabled on this post

My Pal God Records will unveil The YMD's "Excuse Me, This Is The Yah Mos Def " on February 12, 2008, and it will be distributed throughout the US via Southern Records and be made available worldwide through online platforms

The ten tracks on Excuse Me, This Is The Yah Mos Def are built on samples from a laundry list of bands that includes Bikini Kill, Minor Threat, Shipping News and Cap'n Jazz. The production is raw and guerilla, and lyrically, the album is a cultural history of the city they call home (on "New Direction" the boys attempt to shout out every neighborhood in Philadelphia.) It amounts to a freestyle parking lot battle waged at a dingy punk club, a clash of genres that is a musical revolution.
