专辑简介

Tyrone Crawford (YBOSS) was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Growing up he was the only child and would constantly hear “oh you’re the only child, you must be spoiled” Little did they know, he was not living the commonly perceived life of an only child, but was directly affected by the actions of his drug addicted mother. Tyrone faced plenty of misfortune experiences that soon led him into the street life. When he was a teenager he began selling drugs to make money and impress his peers. He also turned to drinking and women to satisfy his lustful desires. At the age of 14 Tyrone began secular rapping with a few of his friends. For four years, he would rap about things he didn’t actually have such as gold chains, expensive cars and money. He would also disrespect women in his music. It wasn’t until his cousin invited him to church one night to watch a documentary titled “ The Truth Behind Hip Hop” By G. Craig Lewis. During that movie, God did not just speak to him about the music he was making and listening to, but about his overall life and where it was headed as well. That same night, Tyrone gave his life to Christ at the age of 18. Instead of throwing away the gift of music God gave him, he went into deep study of the bible, mainly focusing his attention on the New Testament, for about 4 months. He then began writing music for the kingdom, and from there he was inspired by a local artist in Cleveland to change his rap name. He took on the name, Young And BOSS that he later changed to YBOSS, meaning “Young and Better Off Staying Saved.” YBOSS has rapped at countless events and concerts spreading the message of Christ through his music. He is also a devoted father, husband, and man of God who continues to grow in the love and knowledge of Christ. YBOSS understands that his music alone has no power, but God can definitely use it to change lives, touch hearts and plant seeds.
