Big YAYA and Surf Gang are back together yet again with YAYA’s latest track “Roof Shooter” produced by Evil Giane and Goner and I am very excited to see that YAYA is sticking with his fellow New Yorkers, after dropping one of his best song’s ever thanks to Giane’s production a couple of weeks ago titled “Don’t Think,” making for what is simply the one of the greatest underground link-ups this year, as YAYA and his Woodhull Ave fellows continue to put their Hollis section of Queens on the map. YAYA’s song structure often seems to follow the same pattern, leading in chanting the same phrases or mantras over and over to entice his listeners in before skating into his verses which are always highly animated and filled with his own unique slang that is beginning to be adopted by other artists far from Queens.
Evil Giane and Goner’s beat is subdued and slower than some of their spellbinding creations in the past but they provided YAYA the perfect backdrop for talking his shit which he does in a way that is simultaneously boastful, playful, and cold-blooded. There are very few rappers who sound anything like Big YAYA and everything from his beat-selection to vocabulary is totally special to him and I am really eager to hear YAYA keep developing as an artist and I hope he continues linking up with the Surf Gang producers because there is a definitely chemistry amongst them.
