Youth Black Faith is more than music. It is a movement. Drawing on their lived experiences as members of an American hip-hop generation, YBF synthesizes talent and consciousness to create music that adds stylistic depth to Roots Reggae while maintaining the tradition of critiquing systems and societies.
Reggae is constantly evolving and YBF holds an interesting place in the genre's growth. United under the Rastafarian faith, Isaac Fyah, Itah Torche, Gidi and Kenyatta migrated from various Caribbean nations to Brooklyn NY and began collaborating in 2001. They released Born A Champion in 2005 and their underground debut set an impressive precedent for their music.
YBF challenges artistic legacies and nurtures relevant work that speaks to the realities of today's listener while aspiring to reach the promises of ivine Rasta livity. Born champions, they are proving, track by track, that a musical revolution- one that references the past, is the present and will leave something for the future- exists and is powerful.
