"It feels like there's a void in the Bronx, and I don't necessarily feel like I have to fill it, but I feel like I could. People aren't putting pressure on me yet, because I'm still up and coming. But I feel like that will happen in the future, and I'm ready for it. It does motivate me, because I have to be dope." - YC The CynicYC The Cynic calls the cradle of hip-hop civilization (The Bronx) his home, and he'll celebrate the release of his new mixtape Fall FWD with a party in our fair city, at Southpaw TONIGHT (3/1). Advance tickets are still available and the show will feature appearances from Sene, Scienze Rebel, Diaz, The Underdogz and Meka (2DopeBoyz).
Southpaw is one of two appearances this week for the local MC, as he'll also be on hand to celebrate the release of the new Red Clay disc, Rugged Soul, alongside Mohammad Dangerfield, Marco Polo, John Robinson & Lewis Parker, and others at 92Y Tribeca on March 4th. Tickets are still available.
Fall FWD is out now, and available for purchase on his bandcamp. Stream the entire thing below, along side a recent "Fall FWD" remix, the "Summertime High" single, and a video where people were asked "What Does YC Stand For?"

He isn't a part of OFWGKTA, therefore I don't care. Plus, his name is a ripoff of Tyler, the Creator's.

Thought this was about Cynic the band. But that usually isn't BV type stuff.

I like all the retro "_____ the ______" rap names lately. Maybe this will encourage Smoothe da Hustler to make a comeback.

Actually guys, YC stands for "Young Cartographer." He's REALLY into mapmaking.

Wonderful post and the location is beautiful and elegant in design and information and everything>>> to Favorites
Amazing is an enormous understatement. One of the best electronic shows I've ever been to and I've seen well over a thousand concerts. I had no idea Vladislav Delay was as good a drummer & percussionist as he is- fabulous and he kept everything swinging with a very unique style of playing. If you missed this you missed out big time...

Ezra Koenig called. He wants his hair back.
The guy from We Are Scientists called. He said to stop pretending you're him and trying to bang his wife from Au Revoir Simone.
BrooklynVegan comment board called. They want their boyish-faced hipster look back.

I wrote the above comment last week during the Princeton post. WHY IS IT THAT MY POSTS ALWAYS GET SYNDICATED?

To say there is void in the Bronx is crazy, but a good way to make yourself feel like you are needed. He's nice, I have seen him live a couple times, but filling a void? The Bronx is never empty when it comes to Hip-Hop. YC can def. give himself better context than that and should.
