In the world of hip-hop, Yoshi is utterly unique: a versatile rapper, poet, and songwriter who explores the alternative direction of healthy, conscious living. His passion to deliver uplifting and entertaining messages and hope for humanity is evident throughout the deep layers of his Pacific Islander and African American heritage and musical roots he embraces like no one else has (or could). Trained by his music teacher father and seasoned through years of poetry slams, talent shows, and musical and rap performances, Yoshi found his audience in the Metro Detroit hip-hop scene in the early 2000's while a student at Eastern Michigan University.

Always at the grindstone, he saw success as a rapper and songwriter while earning his degree in Communications. His creative combination of soul and swagger were immediately obvious upon the release of his tour de force "Unorthodox Slang." That disc, in addition to his EP "Headknod Oddyssey," latest album "The Talent Show," and most recent mixtape "Herstory in the Making," all proved popular with hugely diverse audiences from all over the world.

All of his work leading up to now, has set the stage for a rewarding career. His album, "The Talent Show," an incredible masterpiece of soulful hip hop beginning to end, debuted in February 2009 and is still receiving immense support and admiration across the globe. As shown by his endless and successful hustling for listeners, Yoshi is neither a hobbyist nor an amateur.

Yoshi is a rising and undeniable voice in hip-hop who has been compared to Common and L.L. Cool J., and has shared the stage with B.O.B., Big Sean, Mayer Hawthorne, Danny Brown, Saul Williams, Elzhi of Slum Village, Black Milk, One Be Lo, Miz Korona (best known for her appearance in "8 Mile"), Matthew Santos, long-time Wu-Tang collaborator Killah Priest, MTV2's Amanda Diva, Fred Hammond, HERO, God Make me Funky, Athletic Mic League, Subterraneous, and more.

Yoshi is a veteran of the business with underground credibility and mainstream appeal. His refreshingly pure, conscious, and soul-driven music as well as his intense personal charisma are already making him unstoppable in 2012-2013. Watch yourself. Yoshi is blowing up.

7 Reasons why becoming a member of Beat365 rocks.

As you already might know I go by the alias Undakova (Undercover) and I am beat maker, DJ and MC here in NYC. I have been producing hip hop beats since the 90s and have produced my own hip hop instrumentals for my album created here in New York City. I often get asked by R & B artist and MCs "Can you produce some beats for my album?" One day the question popped up in my head "Where does an artist find great sounding Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them?" If an artist doesn't have a friend or business partner who is a producer or know how to/ want to produce beats on there own spare time (which can take a lot of time and money) where does he/she find a complete collection of hip hop beats? Well the answer is simple. . . . To find Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them go to Beats365...
