Ready to forget everything you thought you knew? It's time. Now, stand up and never be afraid!
When YO! Majesty's self promoted “YO! EP” surfaced in 2006, everyone who heard it couldn't help raising an eyebrow along with a fist. With a quickness, the liberating chant of “fuck dat shit” - echoed in the standout track “Club Action” - spread throughout the world, while listeners began to wonder just who the hell are these girls and what the hell is their deal?
As the story got out about the group's music and their reputation spread, the curiosity only deepened. Who are Shunda K and Shon. B? From festival stages, Brooklyn loft parties, and exclusive rooftop soirees, where the newly initiated are left squirming on the floor, Yo! Majesty keeps the party moving and the people grooving, all while enlightening their minds.
In a genre that has veered sharply away from Afrika Bambaataa's original message of peace, love and thought, YO! MAJESTY is an incomparable force that brings anyone with ears something to breathe (and pant) a sigh of relief over. Hip Hop has become overrun with lyrics that are anti-women, anti-gay, pro- bling, and frankly boring.
It's all about them, and none about you - YO! MAJESTY ain't having it though. Shunda K and Shon B, both, embody the best elements of Chuck and Flav as an overtly sexual Public Enemy that draws you in with flash and then sets about realigning your dome. The girls ain't wearing no clocks, but you best believe they know what time it is.
Signed to Domino Records in 2007, the group spent the next couple years performing around the globe and hooking up in the studio with the world's freshest producers including Basement Jaxx, Sunship, Radio Clit, Deekline, Germany's CLP, Canada's Mercedeez Bendz, and (with what has become the YO! Majesty home team) HardFeelings UK.
The Majesty's' much anticipated, never to be duplicated full-length, Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid (2008) was not a mere debut - it was more of a debut philosophy, a debut mantra, a debut that takes Hip Hop back to the muthafucking people and rips, tears, and destroys preconceived notions about all manner of topics, including those that have formed about the group.
The duo have been busy recording their next project and it is slated for a Summer 2011 release. The first release will be “Cherry Pop”, an out of control single that puts Shunda K & Shon B back on the road again, right in the center of the pink abyss. The two are still standing strong after all the drama, break-ups, and, thank God, the MAKE-UP!
With this album, you can expect shocking lyrics, deep spirituality, matter of fact sexuality, and an overriding commitment to conscious elevation that cannot be ignored. And, regardless of perception, it will be received as an instant classic and blueprint to those that are lost and unsure. Rest assured, you will be set free to fulfill your destiny.
Contributing producers to the Yo! Majesty sophomore record will include Treasure Fingers, Hudson Mohawke, Foamo, Malente, Randomer, Raffertie, Douster, Thurderbird Juiceboxx, and HardFeelings UK, among others. This fresh new material is screaming to be heard on the global stage. Don't miss your chance to see herstory in the making. Yo Majesty are making music that will define a generation - get ready to forget everything you thought you knew!

Biografia
..Press Quotes!: "their groove theory sounds mad, bad and dangerous." - *Black Book* "In a sea of bands trying to be different, Yo Majesty couldn't blend in if they tried. Futuristically Speaking has been a long time coming, and is full of electro-rap gems" -*NYLON* "imagine Salt-N-Pepa as lesbians from Tampa rapping at the speed of light" -*Elle* "(Yo! Majesty) make hip-hop fun again without compromising substance or a distinctive identity. Think Fannypack with soul. A Fergie-esque sound that's not annoying. Gnarles Barkley showmanship, rooted in feminist ideologies." -*GO!* "Imagine a J.J. Fad gone bad or Kathleen Hanna as a strip-club evangelist, and you've begun to approximate Yo! Majesty's sexually empowered sound." -*SPIN* "Quite simply saved the festival's last day. The two lesbos from Tampa got onstage and tore a giant vagina into the Norweigian landscape." -*BPM* "Yo Majesty.. came out and embraced the crowd with the kind of glowing appreciation you cannot fake." - *BPM* "Yo! Majesty.. is poised to take over the world, one dance floor at a time." -*UR Chicago* "I've seen the future of leftfield hip-hop and its name is Yo! Majesty" -*XLR8R* "The Tampa Twosome mix crunk with electro, Miami bass and a heavy dose of unabashed lesbian sexuality on one of the years' standout releases." -*Big Shot* "While so many rappers grope vainly for realness, ..Yo Majesty brashly flash their freakiness in your face." -*SPIN* "Yo Majesty's sound bumps like nuclear crunk." -*SPIN* "A debut that's fresh on originality and and raw enough to make Uncle Luke and Joan Rivers blush." -*Big Shot* "Florida's awesome-as awesome as anyone might expect from any act with a song called 'Kryptonite Pussy' - ..Yo Majesty.. doesn't traffic in nostalgia. It's music is very much of the here and now, especially the way it subtly blurs the distinctions between then and now." -*Time Out Chicago* "Sexual, Spiritual and buoyantly unrestrained." -*Reax* "The music's positvie, live-and-love-your-own-way message rings through in any context for those willing to listen." -*Reax* "Yo Majesty.. wears the crown as the only lesbian rap group that spits the word of god, and even non -elievers are listening." -*Bust* "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* -
