Three lovely ladies from Tampa collaborated with London-based punk-funk producers HardFeelingsUK and put a banging EP of party hip-hop, mixing old-school flow and real-deal singing with booty-shaking beats, and it’s our current get-up-and-go-out soundtrack. “Fuck that shit” is as much as we can memorize on our favorite cut “Club Action,” but we’re alright with that. Your DJ nights need this track:
Here are two more from Yo EP:
If you wanna see ‘em in action, check the vid for “Club Action” and “Hustle Mode”. No label for the ladies yet, and they’re hard at work on a full-length of party-starters. Should be a fun one in ’07!
Enjoy.

now; Yo Majesty
my city continues to embarrass itself in 2006.
Yo – yes, these ladies deserve every bit of attention in the world. I’ve had the pleasure of hearing the rough tracks recorded for their full-length, and in the words of Busta – “Woo Hah!!! Got You All In Check”. 2007 will be the year of Yo Majesty – y’all better recognize!
club action is the FUCKING BEST
JESUS
AMAZING
this rules.
THANK GOD hip hop finally stopped hating melody.. right guys?
Where were you? Or in the words of La Chat, former Three 6 Mafia member, “Where was u?” The Moneyshot and Bigstereo were up on Yo Majesty MONTHS ago.

Yo majesty are mighty fine girls but they don’t have a lot to say.
JELLYNYC loves these guys…don’t be too surprised if you see them on one of our bills very soon.
I wouldn’t know good hip-hop if it bit my skinny white ass, but as far as I can tell, this is pretty cool.
oh my dudes. super nice.
i can fit this anywhere .. this is like a palette cleanser for playlists. my head says i like it because it’s ironic… but- you know how it is- the body fuckin RESPONDS.
Yo Majesty just charmed the shit out of me.
i luv ‘em
LUV EM!

Yo Majesty
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
Shala (DJ set)
Delicious rap lyrics set upon disco, new wave and soul rhythms define the unstoppable force that is YO MAJESTY. These outrageous ladies from Tampa inventively temper songs of struggle with faith, philosophy and sexuality, all under the guise of clubbed up party music. These pioneers of ‘punk-funk-crunk’ are not, not to be missed. Dirty UK electropunks DOES IT OFFEND YOU, YEAH? open, making their Chicago debut. Their club-ready sounds transfer suitably to the live setting, where their raucous live sets have earned them quite a reputation world wide.
