Yashar. G
Yashar. G is a fairly low-key rapper and artist, never flashy or over the top, offering the simplicity of skillful and passionate creativity, and that’s worth a whole lot. The honesty and openness seems unedited, as real as it gets, and this takes you back a little as you listen. That contrast between music and performance is powerful, you hang on those words yet all the while you lose yourself in the ambiance. Those who have been through similar situations are likely to find their minds wandering off into the past.
