Yak Ballz (R.I.P. CAMU TAO)

Scifentology II (OUT NOW!)

About Me

Yak Ballz is one of the freshest, most intriguing voices to appear on the Independent Hip-Hop scene in a long time. The majority of the past two years has found the Queens, New York native building up to his sophomore breakthrough full length effort, Scifentology II, released on January 29th of 2008 on FloSpot Records in conjunction with Scifen Clothing. By touring heavily across the globe and expanding his loyal fan base with his memorable stage show, Yak has laid the groundwork for a bright future. Scifentology II is the long awaited, brilliantly crafted, tangible body of work that fans both new and old can add to their prized collections. Brace yourself for the politically infused lyrics, heartfelt delivery, innovative production, and New York state of mind that makes this young artist a name that will resonate in the world of Independent music for years to come. This is Scifentology II…
Scifentology II, the new album from Queens-bred MC Yak Ballz is proof that dynamic, thoughtful, creative hip-hop is hardly a thing of the past. -Impose Magazine
Through raw lyrics and graffiti inspired album art by Ewok-One, Yak holds fast to the era he originated. -Mass Appeal
Yak interweaves his own personal narratives with horror and sci-fi references, and does so with a wit, style and confidence that brings his wild, wild world to life. -URB Magazine
In 2008, it is not such an easy thing to bring Hip Hop fans back to supporting the culture’s often overlooked yet powerful socio-political leanings. On Scifentology II, Yak Ballz combines profound social commentary with a myriad of musical styles and embellished choruses in a worthwhile attempt to do just that. -HipHopDX.com
Yak's nasal flow, pop culture references, and quick wit should endear this one to the underground crowd. -LAS Magazine
Scifentology II pushes the indie Hip-Hop envelope to its lyrical limit. Armed with rhymes that will resonate with you long after the song as finished, Yak Ballz isn’t the next MC to mimic the great rhymers from New York; he is the next New York MC to do great things. -Jive Magazine
Packing a track record which speaks volumes more than an inflated ego ever could, the NYC native is ready establish his residency as one of hip-hop’s next heavy-hitters. -Format Magazine
