To put it simply, ymtk pushes the envelope of musicality in Hip Hop. He has always been more out-of-the-box than his East Oakland roots suggest, and his music reflects that he has a style that is uniquely his own. ymtk’s professional career began as a songwriter, but he has since demonstrated that his solo work fills a niche that hasn’t been tapped by other artists of this generation. His live performances alone consistently captivate fans and industry insiders alike.

Indisputable talent and continued rapport with rising stars have filled ymtk’s resume with collaborations with some of the most popular artists coming out of California, such as Nic Nac, Marc E Bassy, Too $hort, IAMSU!, Kool John, Clyde Carson, Bobby Brackins, Mann & Problem, and Nef The Pharaoh… just to name a handful.

Now, he leases a new album titled All The Right Places.

He states, “This is my best body of work to date. I’m not only hella excited for people to hear it but excited to contribute a slightly different/eclectically fresh sound that’s true to myself and the Bay Area. I think it’s important that we’re recognized for just how versatile we really are as a community of artists, creators, and tastemakers. As much love as we get, sometimes I feel like being a young Oakland artist such as myself comes with a stigma of only being able to do one thing and sound one way. Me & Zach (Ekzakt) really put a lot of ourselves in it and I think people will be able to feel that when they have a listen & catch the vibe. Hopefully we can damn near really bubble of this jawn, haha. As well as inspire others to explore their creativity and not be afraid to do something a little outside the box.”
