YC The Cynic Pretty Bodies Artwork by Ivan Merlin

New music from YC the Cynic (Soon to be Kemba) featuring NYC’s own MFN Esquire. This one is off Kemba’s Farewell Tape, a compilation of never released songs and some of his favorite moments (like songs with King Mez, Homeboy Sandman, Mick Jenkins, Big Pooh, Milo, and more).

I was 12 years old when I got the name YC. I grew up with it, made mistakes, and starting making a name as a teenager. The further I got into adulthood, the more I felt suffocated by it. This change will allow me to be the artist I’m becoming, unapologetically. I’ve learned a lot about the industry since the release of my last album. Thanks for showing me love throughout the first chapter of my career. Hopefully you continue to rock with me. ” – Kemba (formerly known as YC The Cynic)
