Yaeo had a nomadic upbringing between Kent, South, East & North London. He was a member of the most infamous graffiti crews in Europe with his work is still able to be seen on track-sides across London today. After being a regular part of legendary Hip Hop nights such as Kung-Fu his first release to hit the streets was the heart felt and groundbreaking ‘Tha Last Of Tha Mohawks EP’, which featured Skin of Skunk Anansie and Farma G of Task Force. This ep was featured in various magazines, one of which being Hip Hop Connection where he was referred to as the Jonny Cash of UK rap because of Yaeo’s unique sound and emotional honesty.
After getting himself out of a record deal and with his foot-in-the-door Yaeo released ‘Call Tha Police’, a track accompanied by a video shot all over Brixton, the first ever UK rap video to be featured on WorldStarHipHop, and a track entitled ‘Stop Me Now’ which BBC Radio 1‘s Zane Low opened his show with and was played for continue weeks on 1Xtra, KissFM and various Pirate Stations.
After a drawn out court case Yaeo started his globally renowned movement ‘TheLondonWave’ and released his debut MixTape ‘Brandy Dreams’ which was introduced by French Montana and features tracks with Cerose, Max B, Bigga Threat, Wordsmiff and more.
Now a official Wave Gang & London CokeBoy member he has a single ‘#FREEBIGGAVELLI’ which features a hook from Harlem’s notorious Max B recorded live from jail. This fittingly entitled anthem encapsulates the Free Max B campaign which has everyone from Drake to Jay-Z adding their take to it. This single is taken from Yaeo’s forthcoming project, ‘Against Tha World’. Look out for this guy he’s one of a kind….
