When it seems like the music industry has seen everything these days, newcomer Yeshua Alexander or simply known as yA, is breaking the mold, pushing the industry’s boundaries, and making music that transcends mainstream trends. yA is all about letting his genuine artistry shine. He is a multi-genre, multi-talented Cameroonian American from the Bamiléké Tribe and is more than just a remarkable talent. 

The inimitable artist known as yA is many things. He is a father, writer, actor, model, comedian and the founder of his own record companies, Lambs to Lions Empire and yA Music Group. The artist has dipped his toes into a variety of industries, namely the fashion industry, where he sports his signature Gold Bottom Yeshua Alexander luxury sporty high-top sneakers, which are steadily on the rise.

On the music side of things, yA released his latest single, “Born Guilty,” featuring the acclaimed Baton Rouge recording artist Boosie Badazz. The famous “Born Guilty” artist, yA, is well-known in the music industry for being a perfectionist. His work ethic is close to none, as he takes his time to craft his art as a singer and rapper. He is destined to be the next big thing in music, and the trajectory of his latest releases is a testament to that inevitable fact.

He is an innovator in the music industry, changing the game as he defies all categories and genres of music. His art can simply be categorized within his one oeuvre. Nobody else is making music like yA, and that’s what makes him such a visionary in the industry. His life’s colorful yet tragic experiences have fueled his artistry, allowing him to create his own unique style of music. 

His quest for rap stardom has taken him on quite a musical journey, manifesting his own destiny through hard work, passion, and sheer determination. Packed with more lines, rhymes, tunes, and beats than a typical music fan can even listen to in a single day, yA’s new collection of albums for 2021 is a historical moment in independent rap music history.

His latest album releases have been compelling works of art, offering an in-depth look into the heart and soul of the world-renowned artist. His latest album ushers in a new era in music, cementing yA as one of the greatest artists of our time. We are now all witnesses to history in the making. Not even the greatest music legends such as Micheal Jackson, The Beatles, Prince, Elvis Presley, James Brown, Ray Charles, Al Green, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, 2 Pac, Bob Marley, Biggie, Naz, Jay Z, or anyone ever for that matter, has released a whopping eleven multiple albums all in a single day.

This is the first time in known music history that an artist has released as much music virtually overnight. On May 7th, 2021, yA released eleven multiple albums, all proudly produced under his own independent record companies, Lambs to Lions Empire and yA Music Group. All the albums were published and released without any involvement from the corporate music industry. There were absolutely no major record labels that collaborated with him at all on the massive project.

“Remember, I am the first musical rap artist to ever release eleven multiple albums in a single day,” shared yA. This remarkable feat is a testament to the acclaimed artist’s passion for music, as well as his intense drive and incredible work ethic. He also recently released his new single entitled “Covid Shot,” which aimed to reach the unvaccinated community, hoping to spread a message of hope and inclusion.

Promising music artist Double J recently released his mixtape titled My Biggest Confession as his way of creating awareness about people living with autism. As a thriving music artist who also has autism, he believes that it is important for people like him to also be represented in an industry that prides itself in embracing diversity. By sharing his music with the rest of the world, Double J is making a bold and inspiring message that he hopes will inspire other people living with autism to step out of their comfort zones, dream big, and make things happen. 

Born Joseph Jamal, Double J was diagnosed with autism when he was six years old. Over the years, the Alpharetta, Georgia native has proven that it is possible for someone like him to live an extraordinary life with determination and a positive outlook in life. He is also concrete proof that a person with autism can dream of being anyone they want to be and work hard to see that dream come to fruition. 

“I have faced much ableism throughout my life, and I wanted to inspire many people with my life story to give hope to many as I was diagnosed with autism when I was six years old. I wanted to show that if you have determination and a positive mind, you can overcome any obstacles in life no matter how tragic the circumstances are,” Double J shared.  

His recently released mixtape is the first-ever solely dedicated to autism. His mixtape includes the songs “My Biggest Confession,” “Multiracial with Autism,” “1 N 68,” “Curious Man,” and “The Man You Want.” Double J poured out his talents and energy into creating this project which he hopes will spark inspiration among others. 

“I feel it is time for the community of autism to be represented in the news because many people have not looked at my kind in a positive way. I want to show the world that we are just as capable as everybody else, even though we have a hard time expressing ourselves. We are not stupid; we’re different. I express myself in different ways, and so do many other people within my community. I hope I can inspire millions of people with my music, and it would mean the world to me if my kind was treated better,” Double J added. 

The 17-year-old was inspired to come up with a mixtape after realizing that people with autism need him to be a voice in their advocacy and unique journey. Not a lot of people understand what it is like for someone with autism to go about day-to-day routines. Through his songs, Double J hopes to be a light that will cast out all doubts and misconceptions about autism. Additionally, he was also inspired by Atlanta-based rapper Money Mu to continue making music after their brief interaction in the airport. Money Mu encouraged him to continue to follow his dreams and just ignore the haters. Upon hearing his music, Money Mu was impressed with his song and told him to keep moving forward. 

In the next few years, the young music artist hopes to be recognized as the powerful voice in the music industry that speaks for people living with autism. He hopes to inspire people from different parts of the world through his story and show them that autism need not be considered a disability. Instead, he hopes for people to simply see it as a unique way of living life to the fullest.
