Release Notes:

YOUNG BLEE
Ever wondered what 39.5 square miles of volcanic activity could
produce? Now you do û æYoung B-L double EÆ as he often puts it is
bringing the heat right to doorstep. With as much fire on top of
beats as he has behind them, this artist is definitely looking to
make some major moves in the industry!

Being born and raised in a married family household is not a
typical background for a Hip-Hop artist. Blee grew up with a
strong sense of family values, culture and discipline, which is
very prominent in his character.

Due to volcanic activity on his home island of Montserrat, he was
forced to leave his family behind in his early teenage years. This
lead to him becoming very attached to music and using it as his
main channel of self-expression. He started out producing beats
for other artist, but his frustration with their lack of drive and
passion lead to him developing his own lyrical ability and style.

ôKeeping it realö is a term that is often associated with Hip-Hop
artists and Blee definitely achieves this. He is proud of where he
is from and is always ready to represent Montserrat to the
fullest. He acknowledges that he is the man he is today because of
his upbringing on the island

The influence of Hip-Hop on his style was inevitable. Whilst the
islands do have their own music and culture, they are heavily
influenced by North America. The Caribbean has adapted Hip-Hop as
part of their culture which Blee expresses comfortably in his
flow.

His hunger for success was misguided in the initial stages of his
career which led to a few premature album projects, but he is now
coming of age and ready to deliver his new album æIsland Boy.Æ

The album clearly highlights BleeÆs passion for the ladies. His
laid back island attitude and charm is so evident on tracks like
æBody LanguageÆ and æInvite MeÆ, but he shows a lot of versatility
in energy with tracks like æTurn It UpÆ and æLetÆs PlayÆ. All in
all æIsland BoyÆ is an original and well-constructed album which
paints a vivid image of the one and only Young Blee.
