His first real shine came with a spot on 2003's The Antidote: The Healing Pt. 2 compilation from Urban Ave 31. The project featured singer Raheem DeVaughn and yU's crew The Remainz, with a buzz spreading to Europe and introducing the budding lyricist to an overseas audience. At home, a new generation of talent was bubbling in the Washington D.C./Md./Va. area, which led to the formation of the Diamond District, a group consisting of yU, producer/MC Oddisee, and MC Uptown Xo, and named after the geographical region in which they all came of age. The trio's In the Ruff LP was a showcase of the hip-hop creativity that had long been overlooked amidst the area's legendary Go-Go scene, and to an extent, its penchant for violent crime and political chicanery. The album also paved the road for yU's abilities to emerge on his solo efforts – 2010's Before Taxes and 2011's The Earn.
Before yU the 78er became a fan of music, he acquired certain tastes from his mother, Gina. Many artists trace their roots back to the funk, soul, jazz, or R&B sounds that were household staples during times of youth, but yU was born to a true female hip-hopper. Mecca and the Soul Brother and early A Tribe Called Quest stayed in rotation in their Alexandria, Virginia home. Moms led trips to the theater to see Breakin', Beat Street and Krush Groove, and as a teen, he was encouraged to videotape segments of Yo! MTV Raps and BET's Rap City. Hip-Hop was always in the mix, so when yU began his own career, he was well equipped to become a creative force within the culture.
Much of what yU has learned throughout life is the result of his love of music. An introvert, hip-hop provided a means for him to open up to the world, and in doing so he was surprised to find many others who share the same interests. Among the fruits of collaboration are the foundation of the1978ers production team, with friend Slimkat78, inclusion of his "Fine" instrumental on the Gilles Peterson compilation Brownswood Bubblers Four, and an upcoming project with Pittsburgh producer (Y)usef Dinero.
But his overall goal is growth, and allowing both his career and his music to expand. It's a worthwhile intent – to start at zero and let listeners witness the climb. As a child, yU was immersed in hip-hop music and knew his life's path at an early age. Now he looks to share that purpose with his fans.

「voice」歌詞
届けたい 届かない この思いを
空まわり したままの 僕の情熱
読み切れない 雑誌のページ
読まなくちゃ いけない気になるよ
ふえていく TVのチャンネル
全部見なきゃ オクレちゃうのかな
おかしな夢 見るんだ 家の前の公園で
君に投げたボールが 途中で落ちちゃうんだよ
部屋の隅 つまれたゲームソフト
やらなくちゃ 意味がないのかな
テーブルの向こうの君に しゃべりかけているのに
君は表情一つ かえてはくれない
こんなに 近くに 僕がいるのに
届かない 届かない この思いを
本当に大切なこと 何かな
何だか誰かにあやつられているみたい
心はほんとに僕のものなの
聞こえない 届かない 君の声が
雑踏にさえぎられ 消えてしまう
何もかもがゆがんでいく
何も知らない 心に戻れたらいいのにな

高橋先生、あなたのおかげで私の学生時代は素敵なものになりました。
遊戯王のおかげで、社会人になってからも、繋がりあえる友達にも出会えました。
実家に帰るたびに、読み返していますが、読めば、楽しかったあの頃の気持ちにいつでも戻れます。
あなたの残してくれたものは世界中で愛されていきます。これからも。
本当にありがとうございました。
ゆっくりやすんでください。

Will it ever reach
Will it ever reach
How will I make it over?
My feelings won't reach
Hoping you would know
But it seems impossible
I can't get through these
countless magazine pages
When it caught my eye
I had all the need -- to read them
The same old same old on every tv channel
If I don't keep up, will I miss out on... something new?
I'm dreaming a strange dream I dreamt before
Near my home I'm playing inside the park
We were tossing a ball to each other
I threw it to you but it didn't reach
Each game in my room
are left filling the corners
Insignificant
If I have no will to play on
The table where you are across from me
I'm speaking but you are not listening
Keeping your expressions to be abstruse
You are turning red, now I see
Could you now see?
What I foresee
The turning point is coming
But It cannot reach
My feelings cant reach
Even though I tried over
Only if I could
say what means to me
That's what only matters
And now somehow,
It would have seemed
as if l've lost all control over me
This heart inside,
This heart I feel
Is it really mine at all?
I can't hear a thing,
I can't hear a thing!
Even though I'm this close now
Your words are jumbled
every time you speak
then it fades in echos
Why is that
everything
seems so distorted!?
Now I hope, By returning
my heart will
become what it was before I knew a thing!!
@MarcoAntonio-tk1gg
Lyrics
I want them to reach, but my feelings don't reach
All of my passion remains but a fruitless effort
Magazine pages that I can't get through
I've just got to read them; they caught my eye
The ever-increasing TV channels
If I don't watch them all, will I fall behind?
I had the strangest dream - That in the park in front of my house
The ball that I threw fell down before it reached you
The videogames that fill a corner of my room
Have no meaning if I don't play them
You're just across the table, and I'm trying to talk to you,
But you won't even let your expression change for me
Even though I'm this close to you
They don't reach, my feelings don't reach
Even though they're what's really important
Somehow, it seems like I'm being controlled by somebody
Does my heart really belong to me?
I can't hear you; your voice doesn't reach
It gets lost in the crowd and fades away
Everything seems distorted to me
I wish I could go back to the way I was before I knew anything
