Recording Artist: Yaw From The States (Cory Gale)

Hailing from Pennsylvania’s “Steel City”, Yaw, formerly “Lemar French”, has been creating for over 10 years. An experienced audio engineer as well, with working experience around music’s elite, including: “Pete Rock”, “KRS – 1”, “Rhymefest”, “Young Buck”, “M.O.P.” and “Slum village”, just to name a few. Within recent successes, Yaw has been featured on SHADE 45’S, “Rap Is Outta Control”, with DJ Eclipse, for his single, “Love Or Lust”, produced by: “Tone Fultz (Son of legendary producer Melvin Steals).” Also an Emmy award winning mastering engineer for WQED’s, “Flyboys”, soundtrack, featuring the Tuskegee Airmen of western Pennsylvania. A well versed, “creative”, Yaw has been involved with music for the majority of his life, including playing the drums and piano as a child. Formerly known by his alias, “Lemar French”, Yaw has reinvented his image and sound to fit the demanding space of hiphop. No stranger to producing, we can find collaborations with area specific celebrities such as, “Mac Miller (RIP)” and “Wiz Khalifa.” Yaw’s featured production can be heard in the beginning of Mac Miller’s, “Nike’s On My Feet” video, co-produced by Mac himself. A fan of hiphop, Yaw is set to reshape the direction, a witty, aggressive flow accented by urban sensibilities, a complete dish for any TRUE fan of textbook lyricism.
