User:B.A.Young Lord

Young Lord is a veteran Hip Hop lyricist and true MC, groomed in the late 90’s in the New York City underground rap scene. Young Lord born Antwan Rivera was raised in NYC with the Bronx as his front yard and the Lower East Side as his back yard. “The man of a thousand verses” is what the World Famous Eddie B Swift calls him when they host their daily internet radio show and that, he is, when you listen to his mixtapes and features its, evident material is not a problem for this wordsmith. Young Lord’s new persona is matched by all new original music on his 2012 album “Legacy”. With a strong online campaign and independent mix tape buzz he is one of hip hops best preserved priceless heirlooms. His independent video “Lord Have Merci” gives a throwback sample a new life and defines why truly there aint nothing like hip hop music. Young Lord changed his name from B.A. Xcaliba after a recent trip to Puerto Rico for the first time, where he immersed himself in the culture and customs of his native heritage. As B.A Xcaliba he has released popular underground single “No Retreat No Surrender” on Renaissance Man Productions (Produced by G-Bo the Pro and D.J Rei Double R), Young Lord as B.A. Xcaliba was also featured on many mixtapes From Justo Mixtape all-stars, Lazy K’s N.J Meets N.Y and Red Alert’s Radio Show on Hot 97. His diversity earned him a feature on Mexicano 777’s album “Gods Assassins” where he shined and held his own among other artists including KRS One. Going on to own his own record label at 24 years old (Still Waters Ent.), he learned the business very fast. Young Lord is well rounded and anyone who has had the opportunity to see and hear him will agree. Weather its co-hosting internet radio, recording or performing Young Lord has the “it” factor. The Late super producer Thomas (MAS) Weisman said it best “B.A. Has it all, he has the exact balance you need to last in this business”. The new Album “legacy” by Young Lord secures his legacy as a dope MC and an example that the independent artist can rise and leave a mark on the world.
