Yo Majesty 

Music Is My Weapon: Yo Majesty
Yo Majesty is an up-and-coming lesbo rap-punk-crunk group is awesome. In fact, lemme just let the press take care of my gushing...




"Absolutely timeless... they sound like Gangsta Boo over JJ Fad tracks... Brilliant. You need this." - Vice Magazine



"First amazing surprise of SXSW07: The glorious electro-rap of Yo Majesty, three party ladies from Florida... Think ESG meets The Geto Boys. Or something. Beautiful." - The Onion AV Club



"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: - Stereogum



"Yo Majesty take their cue from ESG and bang out hip hop infused new wave disco jams." - DJ Magazine



"At last punk-funk-crunk rap!" - Mixmag



"They've coined a female equivalent of macho that is far removed from the hypersexualized come 'n' get it attitude." - Time Out London



"Regular rhythmic shifts, an abundance of pop smarts and a soulful aggro." - Plan B Magazine



"'Daaaamn!' That's all we can say when we listen to the rap riot that is Yo Majesty, three freaky Florida femmes with rhymes spicier than Salt -N-Pepa and bombastic beats that'd make J.J. Fad proud (eat your humps out, Fergie). This old-school girl trio may be naughty — check out the choppy synth bobs and bossy braggadocio of "Kryptonite Pussy" and "Hustle Mode" — but the fierce delivery makes it come off fresh, never forced." - LA Weekly
