First introduction to YTK.
Toronto collective YTK (Yonge Toronto Kids) release their first single together, “Say Somethin'” produced by J Reid.
Made up of 3 young Toronto kids (no pun), Keysha (formerly Keysha Freshh), Steph J (Wrap party, La Complex, Degrassi, Home Again), and Jimmy B (Starboro x Smashmouth).
“YTK is Steph j, Keysha and myself we just young toronto kids focused on making good music and staying positive” explains Jimmy.
“YTK is a common ground. We come together, we make music. We share the same vision and passion. We all do our individual thing, so when we do collaborate we try to make it big, video and everything…if you get what I’m saying [laugh]” describes Keysha.
“Ytk, above anything is the voice for a whole generation of kids from where we come from, toronto” says Steph J.
When asked about the recording process with the three of them:
“Say Somethin’ was easy to do, workin’ with jimmy and keysh is always turnt up. We have nun but fun. we give and take to and from each other to make good music thats speaks to our peers” -Steph J
“The recordin’ process was dope everyone came with their A game and whenever we all get in the studio you know its something dope” – Jimmy
“I think we just have fun. We feed off each other, like we vibe out. Like some rugrats… We turn everything into this big adventure and we just have fun, and I think you can feed off of that when you hear the finished product” – KeyshaLINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGct-z_OjB8&list=UUILKRzeBStvkG_rafTyr7Sg&index=1 Attached is the MP3

The video draws back the curtains on the adventures (and misadventures) of 4th Pyramid & Grandtheft as they roll through an eventful Friday night in the big city. We follow them on various escapades toasting to the good life alongside a host of colorful characters including Killer Mike, The Beatnuts, Tha Alkaholiks, Rich Kidd & more.
Off the upcoming 4th Pyramid EP “The Sky Belongs To The Stars” set for release April 2013.
It has truly been too long. I assume you’re all keeping well and making the most of this year that has been given to us. Today is the day to begin sharing my newest work with you. This is the first single off of my upcoming album. I feel sometimes that people don’t have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn’t consistent with actual events. My family and my second family (consisting of the best friends anybody could ever have) all struggled and worked extremely hard to make all this happen. I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I’m excited for this song to find a place in your life as well. I didn’t feel I needed any interviews or radio or press to launch this song. It felt right to come back to the site that I started on and release it to the people that started here with me. Judging by this post, the tour that we’ve been planning, the conversations about new songs and album artwork…I think it’s safe to say we’re back together again. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
