Coming out of St. Louis, MO, NDAE a.k.a. Da Boy Yane has been relentless in his pursuit of musical stardom since the tender age of 10. Now with almost fifteen years under his belt this kid has developed the style, charisma and business sense to be the "NEXT". Dubbed as "MR.WORK HARD, PLAY HARD" NDAE is the truth.

Chapter 1: The Missing Link...

As the time ushered in a new age, so did it also ordain Midwest hip-hop, particularly that of St. Louis, as one of its most diverse breeding grounds of prolific rappers. Being in the heart of the country these artist are exposed to all types of hip-hop music. With there unique vernacular and broad musical landscape, NDAE has developed a style unlike no other combining versatility along with true to life stories that people all over the world can relate to. NDAE is not one to bite his tongue and is known to touch on issues that hit close to home whether it is the good or the bad. NDAE is no stranger to hip-hop, inking his first record deal at age 16 with indie label Last Dime Productions based out of St. Louis. Bringing spit-fire bars on the labels "Heavywatez" compilation featuring national artist such as Bun B of UGK and other local "Heavyweights" in rap, NDAE shined and was dubbed as one of St. Louis' prime MC's. Drafted into the Yungunz, which combined 3 of the most talented underground MC's in the 314 area (code) to form a hip-hop super-group that had the streets of St. Louis buzzing. One of the most anticipated albums in the city unfortunately was never released due to an untimely dismantling of the label. NDAE was on his own..

Chapter 2: Determination = Success

Taking lessons learned from that experience NDAE started a small independent company to release a solo mixtape titled "What Time Is It? Vol.1" which once again got the streets and internet buzzing. Grinding hard out the trunk NDAE sold thousands of copies of the mixtape without radio, gaining respect as a solo artist creating what was needed for a big release of his debut album. Thus, with limited distribution, a shoestring budget and sheer willpower, The L.O. Music Group was born. That success caught the attention California based Native Records (a sub-distributor of Fontana/UMG) offered a distribution deal for the newly formed label. NDAE is set too release his debut album Work Hard, Play Hard to the masses featuring the hit single "Lookin 4 U" a positive feel good song for the ladies that has been getting great responses from the public online as well the street. Reaching out to super producers such as PI Productions which had produced tracks for Nelly, R&B singer Mario, and Murphy Lee,( who is on the album) also Flam 5 Music which did work with G-Unit, and Dremakaz Music this project is set to be on fire!

Chapter 3: The Future

Poised as St. Louis' next big hip-hop star, and Major Independent Record Company,NDAE's L.O. Music Group is set to break topsoil and emerge fully-grown into hip-hop culture's mainstream. In creating a pipeline for himself and upcoming artist to share there music with the world "is a lifetime opportunity (L.O.)," stated NDAE. With his witty and unreserved style, NDAE is definitely ready to take off. "I'm a representation of all those who have dreams, refuse to give up and determined to be successful." One not afraid of hard work or to have a good time, who knows exactly where he's going and most importantly hasn't forgot where he's from. A true underdog making things happen!
