One of Chicago’s brightest talents of the past few years is undoubtedly YP. YP, or as his friends refer to him: Your Problem, has been making noise and been a frontrunner for leader of the new Chicago class for quite some time. But over the course of the past year, his output slowed down a little, and in a game where dropping things constantly is the norm, it takes a special kind of artist who can sit back, peep game, and focus 100% of his attention on one project. And over the past year, YP did just that.
Enter: Backwood Jones, the latest creation by YP. 11 new tracks chronicling the lot of YP’s last year. Friends and industry peers such as Rockie Fresh, Twista, Sulaiman, Kam, King Louie and Assata Jones show up to assist. Every bar is carefully crafted, every beat sequenced perfectly. This is YP’s last year on wax. The ups, the downs, the good, the bad. It’s all right here. His heart in the verses for the world to see and hear. So We highly recommend you check out what is easily going to be remembered as one of 2014’s top projects. Crack a backwood and begin your journey below.
