From Oklahoma City Y.S is a young upcoming hip hop artist with very much talent. Born Tiyrell Larkins in Elyria, Ohio on February 24,1992. He then moved to Indianapolis, Indiana where he spent his first twelve years of childhood. Around the age of eight he grew very fond of the hip hop/rap music he listened to on the radio daily. This is the time he wrote his first rhyme to perform in an after school program talent show. "The artists I listened to back then we're the Hot Boys. I imitated everything they did because it looked so cool to me." At first it began as four bar verses and short hooks. But soon it became full sixteen bars. By the time he was thirteen after moving to Oklahoma City the previous year he was writing full songs. At age 15 he recorded in the studio for the first time. Soon after he joined another local artist to form the rap duo group Main Focus. The group lasted about 8 months but released an album titled "Focused" in the process. After the split he went solo and met a young hot producer by the name of Lavirgis "Mr.Sylk" Stephens who was a new student at his high school. They began working together in 2007. He later joined Top Notch Grind (TNG). As of 2015 the artist now known as Y.S has relocated to Cleveland, Ohio. Recently releasing his latest project titled "Working Project" on his YSE/ GrindMode Records Label. Available on all streaming and downloading platforms. The project titled "No More Excuses" will be released in the winter. Stay tuned.
