The present harshness of the streets of Oakland, CA can be condemning to say the least.  The everyday hustle and grind, violence and negativity is a tough and challenging reality for people who experience it.  Yung Gee is no stranger to these experiences.  However, like every tale of struggle, there comes a tale of triumph, which is also an experience for which Yung Gee is familiar.  The 28 year old Bay area spitter is using hip-hop to speak for the streets.  To tell stories of struggle for people that don't have a voice.  His street savvy demeanor combined with a sharpened wit and emphatic flow make Gee a polished and well-rounded artist.  The peculiar thing surrounding his music is the simple fact that he has no specific or categorical sound.  The music not only crosses all lanes, but in the process, transmits real and raw messages in the lyrics.  For the majority of hardened rapper's from the block, it's hard to determine real from fabrication, but for Yung Gee, real is all you get.  From crafty punch lines, smooth delivery, to hard hitting production, the LUT captain is operating in, and refining, a hardcore lane of hip-hop thats update is long over due.  With the recent release of the highly touted "Kush & Drums" and a significant buzz well beyond the Bay, Yung Gee is impressively expanding as an artist in a way that will make the industry take notice.  Loyalty.Unity.Trust. is the moniker he lives by and with the hunger of a rookie and the poise of a vet, Gee's tale has only just begun.
