Ya Man Tee

Ya Man Tee is what some call "a breath of fresh air" to Hip-Hop. The young artist executes his craft with the lyrical likes of Big Pun and the intelligence of a Jay. He is a current member of Philadelphia's Grammy Recording Academy and was selected by the Texas chapters board to perform at the Summit event in Austin featuring Young Guru and DJ Protege. Tee has released a few mixtapes including his latest "City's Island" project and added a string of music videos of songs from the EP. The self-proclaimed "First Born" has showcased at notable venues including World Café Live (Philadelphia) as well as multiple appearances at the Blockley. The 20 year old was also also booked to perform on two of Penn State, IUP and Temple's campuses. As for beginnings, Tee picked up rapping from Big Pun's "Yeaah Baby" album. He was also inspired by listening to older cousins write and record songs and began his story at 11. Confidence is an obvious part of Tee’s arsenal and proved doubters wrong when he grabbed the microphone and flamed the stage at only 17 earning the respect he deserves from fellow artists and fans. With his music and character constantly improving, mixed with his “got to do more” work ethic it’s safe to say he’s ahead of his game and only time will reveal how special this rising star is.
