Detroit YB | “Keep It Real”, Deluged With Artistic Talent
Authentic lyrics, a reverberating rhythm, and a first-rate flow are just a few things Detroit YB hands you on his latest single, “Keep It Real.” The Detroit, Michigan-born rapper, songwriter, and record producer’s star-studded talent shine bright, setting him up for continued success in the music game.
Detroit YB is no stranger to the music industry. For 11 years, the “Hustle By Any Means” CEO has laid down a suave flow while constantly growing and maturing as an artist. But in actuality, Detroit YB’s stepfather deserves credit for being his initial push to get into music. As a well-known drummer, Detroit YB’s stepfather planted a passion in the rapper’s heart that continues to fuel him 14 years after his passing.
Detroit, Michigan, was an integral part of shaping the artist into who he is today. Therefore, Detroit YB felt compelled to incorporate the city’s name as part of his stage name. On the other hand, the “YB” portion of the rapper’s name stands for “Yung Boss,” drawing attention to the way he carries himself.
… that’s how I carry myself personally and business-wise, and it’s also what the city of Detroit represents. Growing up where I’m from, we breed bosses, so it all coincides – Detroit YB.
“Keep It Real,” produced by DBThePlug Beats, starts flowing through the speakers gradually, giving you time to warm up to the song’s tone. But, after a few tranquil moments, heavy 808s pulsate, offering a classic rap feel to the track. Still, the somber piano melody carries on lightly in the background, pouring emotion so rich it’s palpable.
No matter how authoritative a beat is, it’s only as good as the artist on the track. In the case of “Keep It Real,” Detroit YB only accentuates how hard the rhythm hits. That said, Detroit YB has a voice born to make music. Potent vocals paired with thought-provoking lyrics help the rapper get your attention. But his flow and the resolute way he delivers his bars is nothing short of engrossing.
The official “Keep It Real” music video only adds intrigue to an already attention-grabbing track. Packed with agile camera angles and complimenting edits, the “Keep It Real” music video entrances you. Naturally, Detroit YB commands both your audio and visual recognition from the video’s start to the end.
Detroit YB knows good things don’t come easy. So, his grind isn’t stopping anytime soon. “Keep It Real” is just a fragment of things to get excited about.
