Y-Love (Yitz Jordan) is part of the new guard of hip hop revolutionaries. Describing his style as "global hip hop," Y-Love seamlessly intertwines English, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and ancient Aramaic. He combines ethereal scripture with gritty social consciousness, reflecting his own life-changing conversion to Hasidism. Having graced the stage with luminaries as varied and respected as Lou Reed, DJ Spooky, Hadag Nachash, Matisyahu, Steinski, and Immortal Technique, Y-Love has proven himself as a formidable presence in the world of hip hop.
Y-Love's upcoming album, "This is Babylon," boasts stand-out electric dance tracks like "Bring It On Down" and politically supercharged anthems such as "6000," with production by Jake Break, who brings a Parliment/Outkast-esque vibe to the project. Y-Love was the subject of over 70 articles just this past year. Y-Love has been featured in publications from USA Today to Italy's La Repubblica and XXL Magazine. URB placed Y-Love in their NEXT 1000 and The Jerusalem Post called him "the scene's next crossover success". With each word he spits in the tongue of ancient Babylon, Y-Love breathes new life into hip-hop, one beat at a time.
Y-Love's "This is Babylon" album out on Itunes, March 2008 and in stores April 2008 on Modular Moods/Craig'n'Co/Fontana/Universal.

Psalms 141:1 "A psalm by David. O HASHEM, I have called You; hasten to me, give ear to my voice when I call to You. Let my prayer stand as incense before You; the lifting of my hands as an afternoon offering. Post a sentry for my mouth, O HASHEM; guard the door of my lips. Let not my heart incline toward an evil thing, to perform evil acts with men who are doers of iniquity, and let me not break bread in their pleasure-feasts." Everyday we fill our minds with spiritual food for thought, and everyday we ingest the things we meditate on...may that be good or bad.
