It’s been a while since we’ve seen projects from Deon Young. His comeback was not a shock but a blessing for many R&B lovers who enjoy merging it with Hip Hop sounds. Deon Young released his new LP and music video of the same name titled “Kissing On Saturday.”

This project is an introduction to the full-on New York experience vibe. With many familiar legendary samples on his tracks adding a New Jersey mashup. Deon worked with a few producers for this project but the KOS album is fully engineered and the majority is produced by Preme Dream. Deon Young and Preme Dream are like the new Timbaland to Missy Elliot.

Growing up in Harlem, NY he experienced the sultry nostalgic music scene that made him proud to be from Harlem World. Deon states he liked beats that touch his soul and like to show support to the most creative producers. A few notable tracks such as “Kno My Name” which has as an Alicia Keys sample touched on his Harlem, NY experiences. Such as, popular places like Rucker Park and Polo Grounds in NYC really brought him nostalgia while creating this LP such as the closing track “Status”. Deon Young mixed the new popular era of music with old samples from the early 2000s while merging the R & B Bop vibe to bring motivational upbeat R&B to the streets.

Yadda Man continues to rise in the ranks in the Midwest Hip Hop scene following the release of his new 10-track album Jacket Weather.

The mindful project arrives as his third joint-effort release between his imprint, Off Brand Music Group, and former Maybach Music Group artist Stalley’s fledging label Blue Collar Gang. Intact with a hyper-personal lyrical approach, Jacket Weather also houses several standout features such as Dizzy Wright’s guest verse on “Outta Sight.”

During an exclusive conversation with Remixd Magazine, Yadda Man gives details of how the song materialized, based on multiple chance encounters with the “Untouchable,” rapper over the years.

“Honestly, I had already had that record [‘Outta Sight’] too,” Yadda Man says. “I’m a big fan of Dizzy Wright. I run into him all the time. I reached out to him on Instagram and asked if he would bless me with a verse and he did.”

Though Dizzy Wright is a seasoned lyricist and promptly bodied the verse in one take, Yadda Man went on to reveal how he accidentally finessed a two-for-one special after mistakingly sending Dizzy a record Chicago MC Mick Jenkins had already hopped on.

“He killed that shit too,” Yadda says. “He did his thing first go round but he actually sent back a verse on ‘Do you remember,’ which I sent him on accident after Mick [Jenkins} jumped on it, quiet as kept. I’ll keep that version to myself. “

Yadda Man’s Jacket Weather album follows the deluxe release of his recent project JiMMY, and includes features Ria Gold, Julian Thomas and more. Music videos for key album tcutss such as “Real Friends,” and “Bundle Up,” are already raking in thousands of views.
