Welcome to My Space. I am a 27 year old emcee/producer from San Francisco. I have been performing in and around the Bay Area for years as the front-man for a variety live Hip-Hop projects. I pretty much stay in the studio, either working on my projects, or helping other local artists make/mix their records. I have released two full length albums. My new album/mixtape, "Santa Cruz or Bust" is a record inspired by a trip I took down the coast. I was lucky enough to work with some of my favorite Bay Area vocalists, emcees, DJ's, and musicians, and producers, and I am really proud of what we came up with. You can download the mixtape for free @Yungmars.com, or buy the real album (with exclusive tracks) from Itunes, Lala, or Rhapsody. Also, I have assembled a new team of musicians for my live shows, and we are pushing the sound into some really interesting, neo-soulful places. Please do your ears a flavor and come out to a show. Check out some footage of how the album was created:
