 Finally, Change is coming. The BBC, Italy’s La Repubblica, and XXL magazine have all featured Brooklyn-based MC Y-Love and his multilingual approach to hip-hop. Y-Love’s 2008 debut album This is Babylon is still garnering praise for its mix of hip-hop, reggae, and r&b with global accents, but Y-Love isn’t resting. Now, he’s teaming up with Crown Heights collaborator DeScribe to give a fresh musical take on the most powerful word of 2009. Their new single “Change” mixes Y-Love’s militant mysticism with the plaintive urgency of DeScribe’s singing. Combining a driving, radio-ready beat, produced by Prodezra, and subject matter few dare to touch, “Change” truly stands out on the path from old to new.
“Change” is the first in the series of four songs that comprise “The Change EP”, by
DeScribe &
Y-Love, to be released on Modular Moods/Shemspeed. One song will be released per month beginning with “Change”, produced by Prodezra. Pick up each song on iTunes and catch the music video for “Change” on youtube beginning January 20th.
