Remember that post from earlier about a video from a little group called U-N-I ? Yea, I think its time that you get acquainted with the guys. They ( Y-O and Thurzday ) are a hip-hop duo hailing from Inglewood, California. They were named “Best Breakout LA Artist” at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and XXL Magazine’s “New Kids in Town”.

Be sure to keep reading for download links.

They have released three mixtapes / albums so far. Their first being “Fried Chicken & Watermelon” back in 2007. They took a two year break to work on their crafts and have come back strong this year, releasing ” Before there was Love” and “A Love Supreme” mixtapes. Both are solid and you can definitley see their California roots on their tracks. Their most famous song so far, is ” Hollywood Hiatus ” which currently gets plays on MTVU and MTV Jams on occasion. No “thuggery” here, their lyrics consist of partying, living life, and trying to get by as a human. Look for them to be a force in the hip-hop game in the coming years.
