Baba Israel and Yako met through DJ Center at a loft
party in Brooklyn New York city. Baba was rhyming and
yako got on the drums, piano, and just about every
other instrument around. There was an instant musical
connection and after going on national tour with DJ
logic they knew that they would be making music for a
long time. After a three year period of making music
with DJ center they have now continued on in the great
tradition of musical duos.
