Ya Boy was given his name by his cousin Bailey, and was helped to develop into a rap artist by his other cousin San Quinn. In the Summer of 2005, Ya Boy released his first solo mixtape, Future of The Franchise, and it sold 10,000 copies in the first month alone. This was to be followed up by his debut album, Rookie of the Year. His album features E-40, Turf Talk, Clyde Carson of The Team, San Quinn and more. The first single off the album was produced by Rick Rock and is titled "Step Ya Game Up."
In 2006, Ya Boy began an affiliation with The Black Wall Street. The Game took him under his wing and the two began to network. His affiliation with Game brought him a step higher in the rap game, as he began to collaborate with big name producers such as JR Rotem, Nu Jerzey Devil and Scott Storch to name a few. Pop star Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline, aka [artist[K-Fed[/artist], called upon Ya Boy's talent for writing, and had him ghost write for his debut album Playing With Fire.
Ya Boy makes a cameo appearance in the 1996 crime film Mad Dog Time.
Patron on the Rocks
Ya Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bay Area bully, whole mouth frozen
Still got the big 4-4 on him
Tatted like a death row inmate: no grin
Young Ya Boy, hotter than the oven
'Cause racket like the you-S-O been
I get mo' money, mo' dough, mo' yin
Mo' chedder, mo' scribble, mo' scratch, mo' ins
I'm a bad boy, I don't know P-Diddy
Young feel mo' slim, Fresco City
When I leave the club
All the ho's come with me
Patrone on the rocks blowin' quartz in the air
Got your girl on my c***
Baby boy I'm a player
Got the toast in the spot
You don't wanna get popped
So hood, so block, so drunk I got
Ho's on my c*** and patron on the rocks (I got) [x8]
We bottle poppin'
You c*** blockin'
I'm on my gorilla's, oh shit
Hood nigga, half a mil on my neck
And I wish you would nigga
I don't wanna do a song with you
I'm good nigga
I ain't at the bar 'cause the bar at my table
Precise gang and I'm the star of the label
Two chains, both hang down to my navel
I don't need a record deal, look I'm stable
Yeah I'm good baby girl I'm straight
I've been the nigga mutherfucker you lay
Step up in the spot with that Kushy smell
Tryin' to get your girl to show me how that pussy feel
All black congac, same old 2 step
Bitch on my dick and she still ain't moved yet
Still get it hot, baby girl we can rock
Maybe the watch is the reason why I got
Ho's on my c*** and patron on the rocks (I got) [x4]
In Ya Boy's song "Patron on the Rocks", he boasts about his wealth, bad boy image, and sexual conquests. He believes that he is a threat to those who try to compete with him, as evidenced in his lines "I don't wanna do a song with you, I'm good nigga", which shows his confidence in himself and his ability to make it big without anyone else. His overall attitude and demeanor come across as cocky and arrogant, but in the rap world, these are valuable traits to have.
Ya Boy's lyrics also touch on his love for cognac and the finer things in life. He mentions "Patrone on the rocks blowin' quartz in the air" which shows his love for a good drink and the luxury of blowing smoke rings with his expensive quartz glass. He also mentions having "half a mil on [his] neck" and not needing a record deal to survive, further emphasizing that he is a self-made man with a lot of wealth and influence.
When he says "All the ho's come with me," he seems to be proud of the fact that he attracts women with his money and fame.
