The low tempo dance track was originally created as a freestyle piece. I&#8217;ts beenproduced by Troy R8dio Johnson, and was released on December 27 last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yaysh, now based in LA, grew up in the suburbs of Colorado and learned to rap and sing when put on the spot in freesyle sessions. She says she had a rather rebellious youth, hanging around with kids from the hood, a far cry from her safe and secure classic suburb. Although her music crosses over into pop, it&#8217;s here it&#8217;s rooted, deep in hip hop.<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"1550939374\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"promo-description\" class=\"description\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI sing, I rap and I know exactly what I want to do\u2026in\ufb01ltrate and show people a new option&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When asked to describe herself, she said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Well..if Kanye West and Adele had a baby&#8230;I would be that baby..and Drake would be my cousin.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yaysh writes all her own music and stays true to herself. She also practices meditation, and is a student of Shambhala Buddhism, and her teacher Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Even her name, Yaysh, is connected to her studies, derived from the Tibetan term, &#8220;Yeshe&#8221;, meaning fully developed wisdom.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m weird, I have a teacher and everything and belong to a lineage called Shambhala Buddhism and I also sing and rap mainstream shit. I am about waking up and helping this world, and being authentic. Much of the teachings I study are about regarding this world we live in as sacred and seeing society as a fabric of wakefulness. So yea, I&#8217;m weird cuz I make my music from this place, or perspective, and I&#8217;m a spiritual person who maybe doesn&#8217;t immediately appear that way because we often have a dualistic way of seeing people. But people don&#8217;t know that every one of my songs has meaning and intention. I&#8217;m deep bish, get to know me. And you really can&#8217;t judge a person. Surprise. Lol&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking of her time growing up, with her friends in the hood, Yaysh says,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I was accepted into this culture that I both had incredible empathy for as well as fear of because I had seen so much pain. But I learned how to relax and learn from community. I was taught how to roll blunts and drink forties and kick it. And how to enjoy being with friends in the midst of incredible poverty, fear and bravery. I was put on the spot to freestyle sometimes and that is where it all started.&#8221;<br \/>\nEventually growing apart from that specific group of people, Yaysh went on to explore the world of music and freestyle on her lonesome as the music provided a way for her to express her angst and emotional depth as well as process her previous life of rebellion. &#8220;I found it hard to find community after I had broken apart from my old friends but there were certain behaviors I couldn&#8217;t tolerate, as well as choices people made that made my soul cringe, so I left. I was on my own for a long time until I found my meditation community and began to pursue music more seriously. Meditation and music was what kept me going. I had found a way to both care for my mind and express it freely. For me these two things combined (music and meditation) equaled freedom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After struggling in school, Yaysh dropped out of college a year before she was due to graduate. She failed to find meaning in her life as a student, and felt a stronger calling to her music, and set out to find a producer and worry about her degree later. Her gut instinct told her to go to LA, where she met with a few producers before finding her main producer, Troy &#8220;R8dio&#8221; Johnson, who&#8217;s worked with the likes of Solange, Chris Brown, and Why Don&#8217;t We. Yaysh says of Johnson:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;R8dio and I had a vibe. That is all I gotta say. That man is talented and he is also my friend. I am so thankful that we met. We are both spiritual people who live in this worldly world and we both make amazing music. Combined we are incredible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Yaysh online on her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yayshplz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yayshplz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yayshplz?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/yayshplz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoundCloud<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC7rozyj3bGt3-yzoctRsl6g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/yayshplz\/daep-explicit<\/p>\n<div id=\"promo-description\" class=\"description\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Daep&#8217;, from the Vietnamese word meaning &#8220;beautiful&#8221;, is the latest track from hip hop\/dance artist and LGBTQ advocate, Yaysh.
