Yonas - Living In the Sky
Artist: Yonas
Producer: Animal House Productions
Album: Unreleased
Label: Unsigned
You’d think that after the release of his highly rated album, The Proven Theory, and being chosen to close out our long-standing Freestyle Series Yonas would be Living in the Sky, but despite the title of his new world premiere he’s actually got his feet firmly grounded. How else could he make such a relatable record? The uptempo beat, which picks up some serious speed on the back end, comes courtesy of Animal House (RIP Jim Belushi), whom I’ll have to ask if those kids singing is a sample or an original. Either way it’s the Bronx emcee’s flow and triumphant lyrics that elevate Sky to an uplifting anthem. Elevate? Uplifting? Get it? Nevermind, just press play and prepare to get lifted, and receive some sage advice in the process: “Reality is tough be careful when you pretend / the world’s forever shady be careful who you befriend.” While not attached to any larger project, from The Proven Theory to the aforementioned exclusive frestyle (coming next week!) fans have no shortage of additional Yonas material to choose from.

Yonas seems to get better every track. I was impressed by The Proven Theory and this just makes me even more impressed!

Yonas has never let me down...absolutely never. I continuely express how much talent this man has and that people need to get this man on the map. Get him on hotnewhiphop.com, i guarantee thatll get him popular. Look at what happened with XV and Los. No offense to djbooth, hotnewhiphop is a really popular site.

The dude came up on top of his game and has shown no signs of relenting. There are few artists that I can hit the download button before listening and know I wont be disappointed... Hit after Hit. The chorus is not my favorite but the emcee delivers

Its a different sound for Yonas, who is slightly different sounding away from the boardwork of his right hand man Sean Divine. The kids chorus didn't hit with me the first few listens, but I must say (write) that it has grown on me. Bottom line - Yonas doesn't know how to make a bad record.

This song is pure fire, that production is synthesizing hypnotizing. Yonas knows how to catch my ears.

I like it, but I've heard so much better from Yonas. This song doesn't have the same "pop" that his other songs have.

Yonas doesn't fit in well with this sound. Even if nobody wouldn't have said it, i think so. His lyrics are cool but the beat is far from what he raps about. And the hook is very akward sounding

My first time hearing Yonas, he's aight, this track is NOT it though (quality wise) A little better production and this might get a lil rotation from me. Preciate the message ~
