New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes presents the release of the "Tribe Life" Mixtape by Miami based music group Yote Gang. This mixtape is currently available for streaming and download on the Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes website.
Darns "Yote Blaze" Petit-Homme, Jonas "JayKillz" Laplante, and
Carlos "L.O.S." Meleciano are the members of the Miami, hip-hop group - Yote Gang. Yote Blaze, founder of Yote Gang, along with JayKillz and L.O.S. have been rapping since they could walk, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone when DJs across the nation describe their music as "the slap in yo' face" type rhymes. Download and stream Rebellion, their first mixtape/album, as well as Tribe Life, the more recent mixtape/album.
Yote Blaze, 20, of Haitian decent, was born in Houston, Texas, and raised in Miami, Florida. His musical influences have been Jay-Z, Kanye West, T.I., Kid Cuddi, Spacejam Jaye, and Kendrick Lamar. He has been around hip-hip for as long as he can remember. His biggest influence is his older brother, whom he'd admired during a rap battle against local Miami rapper Philo B. That admiration eventually lead to motivation when he joined his older brother's rap group called L.F.H. (Long Fang Hounds). In his sophomore year in high school, he got inspired to form his own group in 2011, which would later become Yote Gang. That same year, Yote
Blaze recruited his "lil' nig**a" L.O.S.
L.O.S., 19, of Dominican decent, was born in Miami, Florida. His biggest influence in hip hop have been Q-Tip,
Kendrick Lamar and more recently, Pro Era, which is heard in his style and rhymes. As the creator of most of the music and sound of Yote Gang, L.O.S. realized that there was one sound that was missing from their duo, and decided to recruit JayKillz in 2012.
JayKillz, 18, of Haitian decent, born in Miami, Florida, has been doing his thing since the 4th grade. Realizing that he had a gift, he took his love for music ranging from Salsa, Merengue, Reggae and Kompa, and parlayed the upbeat tempos into his own style of rapping. Some might compare him to Meek Mill, but inspired by rappers such as Biggie Smalls and 2PAC and the love of the diverse music growing up, he made his sound a unique one. In his own words 'I love songs beyond the violence that happen on the streets, and really grasp a different audience, making me more of an artist than an average rapper,' and he shows and proves that in his solo track "MoreThanMusic" featured on Yote Gang's mixtape/album, Rebellion. As JayKillz put it….'I'm just one of those artists that have the ambition and the will to put what I have, up to the test. I hope to be remembered as one of the great ones'.
