The name is a word up to every musician or artist whose relationships have suffered due to their dedication to their craft. An ex-girlfriend of a band member, use to exclaim, “you and your music!” whenever plans would be cancelled for a gig or rehearsal, or generally when music came before the relationship. Australian hip-hop has come a long way since its early incarnations and YAYM is a prime example of where Australian hip-hop is heading. Live bands now underpin the rhythm component of Australian hip-hop, replacing more traditional devices such as the 808 and MPCs. The band’s sound is fundamental to hip-hop, that of rap vocals, soul choruses with a hip-hop rhythm engine. However unique to Australian urban music they maintain a reminiscent R&B and soul sound, which has labeled them soul-hop by their hip-hop peers.
