Though the Shop Boyz have fallen off the national radar, hip-hop’s Rockstar fixation is back in full effect; this time, however, it’s Lil Wayne who’s spearheading the movement (in addition to co-signing Kevin Rudolf, he’s releasing the autotune-rock album Rebirth on May 19). Ready to hop on the bandwagon is San Francisco’s Ya Boy, who’s preparing to release a new mixtape entitled Mohawks & Heavy Metal. The only thing that could be considered “rock” about Oh My! is Chinky P and Pete G‘s synth-organ beat, which incorporates a sample of Weezy’s verse on Freeky Zeeky‘s This Girl; Ya Boy’s verses, on the other hand, tell a typical tale of a close encounter in the club. Nonetheless, listeners can expect some authentic rock sounds on the forthcoming street album, which currently has no set release date.

Ya Boy is not that bad as some people make him he got pretty nice flow! Nice rock-hip-hop production and Wayne's hook is solid. Its pretty good!

It's amazing the amount of rock influence that has always been ignored in hip-hop. News flash to newer artists and younger generation fans: rock is the basis for almost all musical forms and is NOTHING new. (See Aerosmith and Run-DMC's "Walk This Way".)
Nice work... espeially for a mixtape track. Good energy. |

Im a big fan of Ya Boy (another website raves highly about him). This song is a good track no doubt, though ive heard better from him (Listen to a track called "We Run L.A", its been in heavy rotation for about 3 months on my ipod).

This track is different but i like it. Sampled wayne's verse from "This girl" so the hook sounded a lil weird, but i like
...the guitar solo at the end was whack as shyt tho |

This is no 'We Run LA' but it's still a banger. The hook feels weird but it fits at the same time.

This is alright, I think Luda would have been a better feature on the track.

This is decent... I like the Weezy sample on the hook, it makes for a pretty catchy song. Ya Boy is alright, i somewhat like his lyrics but his flow is a lil unimaginitive and unoriginal. For some reason, I liked it though.
