The BX wunderkind rocks a Jimi Kendrix laced track about Nike’s most popular kicks

Every since Hip Hop’s inception, kicks have always been a fixture among the genre’s aficionados and artists alike. In the 80s, it was Adidas, however, for the past 20 years, the Nike Air and Air Jordan brand have invaded the culture as the unofficial sneaker of Hip Hop.

In Hip Hop’s cradle of the Bronx, a young lyricist by the name of Young Lye, which is short for “Young Lion”, has teamed up with Grammy award winning producer Jimi Kendrix to formulate an ode to the rap game’s favorite kicks with “Jordans #1”. The QB native who has produced hits for Jay-Z, 2Pac, and 50 Cent and the BX’s latest Internet sensation who has 200K YouTube views from such hits as “Drop It 2 Da Floor” and “Don’t Give Up Da Struggle” have the World Wide Web buzzing with this salute to His Airness’ footwear. - The Source

“I see music as a means by which I can lift myself and my family. I want to entertain and please my fans and I hope I can make it big in the music business”

Young Lye, born in the Bronx, New York, has been rapping and deejaying since the age of three. Growing up in the Bronx fostered in Young Lye a level of street wise maturity rare for his age that has earned him the respect of his older peers. As a rapper and a deejay, music beats through Young Lye’s veins having been fed on a steady diet of hip-hop, dancehall and pop by his Jamaican father, D. Clarke, a music producer who migrated from Jamaica in the late 80’s and believes his son has immense talent.

No stranger to the stage since the age of eight, Young Lye has been a regular staple at local New York clubs. Coupled with stage performances, Young Lye’s also a recording artist with Mel-Shar Entertainment Media Group. Young Lye is making an effort to break into the Jamaican dancehall scene with his recent collaboration with the hot dancehall singer Barbee. - Rude Boy Magazine

“It’s not the hours you work, it’s the work you put in in the hours you work. It’s not going to happen overnight, most of the time it take years to blow up. Just continue to be consistent with your work ethic and in the long run you will see changes for the better in your music career.”

Check out the interview with Young Lye exclusively on Skilly Magazine Online.

Skilly: How were you able to start your journey in the entertainment business? Where did this all start?
Young Lye: My sister Shari who went to be with the Lord at a young age because of a car accident started teaching me how to rap at the early age of 3 years old and my dad saw that I liked it and was learning fast.

He got my two brothers and I to make a rap group named 3 Angels and after a while my two brothers dropped out of the group. I kept at it by myself first calling myself Lil Lion, then Young Lion, and now Young Lye 14 years later.

It all started for me in The Bronx, New York City, where rap started.

What are some of the creative ways you use to promote your music?
I promote my music projects a lot on social media like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Linkedin, Instagram, and my official website. I also go to a lot of night clubs and hit the street corners giving out flyers. I make lots of CDs of my tracks too and give them out at the clubs and on street corners. I also promote by doing a lot of stage shows/performances.

What is the greatest challenge you face in today’s entertainment business? How do you overcome them?
The greatest challenge I face is meeting reliable people who you can trust to do the work you hire them to do. They all say they can do this and get you this and that, but after they get paid you either don’t hear from them or they can’t do the job they said they can do.

How I overcome? Over the years, my dad who is also my manager, Jimmy Clarke, and I learned to do the jobs ourselves and don’t have to be depending on anyone.

How is the music scene like in your hometown? What do you like about it and what don’t you like?
The music scene is live in my hometown of NYC. What I like about it is that if your music is hot, people are going to be playing it and singing to it in the clubs.

What I don’t like about it is they don’t play upcoming artists’ tracks on the radio that much. I would really like to hear more future stars’ tracks get played because these young artists in NYC have the potential but they just can’t get the opportunity to show their talent.

Where do you think the future of music is going to be? How do you feel artists can be more a part of it?
I think the future of music is getting bigger and greater every day because that’s one language every human being can understand and they love to rock to music. It frees their soul from stress and depression.

I feel that artists should keep on writing and producing good music. There are people out there that will think that your tracks were made just for them and the artist will gain life time fans and supporters.

Keep writing and making hot music. You will never know which one of your tracks new fans and supporters will love and buy because it reminds them of what they’ve been through in life.

What advice can you give to other upcoming artists and musicians trying to achieve success?
It’s not the hours you work, it’s the work you put into the hours you work. It’s not going to happen overnight, most of the time it take years to blow up. Just continue to be consistent with your work ethic and in the long run you will see changes for the better in your music career.

People always say to me, “I see you’ve been grinding for years now and you haven’t stopped. I’m glad to see that. Many artists I knew that started when you started aren’t in the game anymore.”

What inspires you to write your next song?
Whenever I hear a hot beat I just know I got to spit some fire. At times, life experiences of people around me and myself lead me to writing my next tracks.

What are the steps you take to make a song?
I go through my music beats catalog first to see if I hear a beat that I like, whether it’s an old or new beat. I also check out YouTube and Soundcloud to see if I hear any fire beats. Most of the time I make up a hook first, after the hook the verses come flowing through. Those are the steps I take to write and produce my tracks.

What do you think makes a great song?
I think a great track comes from your heart, some say to make it sound like you’re telling a story. Others say don’t put too much bling-bling and money in your track because there’s too much of that already.

I really think the artists should put down on paper what he or she is feeling deep down in their heart and soul. Write what that beat is telling you to write. If the next man doesn’t like it, it doesn’t matter as long as you’re loving it.

BX wunderkind is back again with the newest visual offering from the Stack Large Empire

19 year old Bronx emcee Young Lye has been at this game for quite some time now. With a combination of almost a half million views on YouTube from his two preceding videos “Drop It 2 Da Floor” feat. Funkmaster Flex and “Jordans #1”, Lye is destined for success. His latest visual offering “Watching Me” is the last you’ll see of him until his film debut in Color Blind slated for 2015. Production courtesy of platinum producer of Playaz Circle’s “Duffle Bag Boy” featuring Lil’ Wayne M-16. - The Source

the BX’s newest addition to their lyrical legacy

Tucked away in the Parkchester section of the Bronx, a 18 year old phenom has been honing his mic skills for the last 13 years and now in 2013, Young Lye is ready to bring his BX-pertise on the microphone to the rest of the world.

His latest effort, “Drop It 2 Da Floor”, is a party anthem fueled by Lye breathing over a “hip-pop”, club friendly track that has almost hit the 200K views on YouTube, just as he did with his follow up, “Jordan”, which just surpassed the 100K mark. The young wordsmith is making his intro into the industry with his Stack Too Large mixtape series, which can be found on datpiff.com, however, he elbowed his way in with his guest appearance on a Coast2Coast mixtape hosted by the legendary DJ Premier. According to the lyrical prodigy, some of his first words were rhymes.
“I been rapping since I was 5 years old”, says Lye. “I was doing culture rap and all that at first, then I excelled and started doing my own thing. Is wasn’t until about 3 or 4 years ago, I really started doing shows, getting on radio stations, and getting write ups.”

Lye has seen the worst that the streets has to offer and chooses to takes his frustrations out in the booth. At the tender age of a teenager, Lye has seen two of his siblings lose their lives in the streets and it serves as motivation for his fire. “Growing up, I seen a lot of shit that kids my age didn’t see, feel me? I just put everything that I’ve been through and just put it in my music. Some people can relate to it and some people can’t.” When you ask the general of the STL Empire what will he do if he doesn’t make it in the game and his answer is simple; “That’s not an option. I gotta make it.” - The Source

The crowds make way though the halls and enter the restaurant and listen as the menu is heard! The waitress lets you know whats on special but for only the V.I.P.'s can get the Chef Special!

This hot new track by Young Lye is what music is missing these days, just a hot rhyme with a beat that echos in the background.

I like how he uses the rhyme of being in the kitchen and whips up like being a chef and I'm like wow! A rhyme that I never heard before yet can be sung at a club with all the women jamming to it.

Young Lye is an upcoming artist that not only you all should watch but should listen more and play his music out to the masses. Demand your city to bring him to your city and get the music played on your local radio stations.
