Bio
.. Taciturn Records has signed Israeli Jewish rapper Yoni Ben-Yehuda, a.k.a. Sneakas for his U.S. debut album, "In It For the Change," to be released by Sony Red on Tuesday, April 8, 2008. The album will be available in retail locations nationwide, including Virgin Records for $11.99, and on iTunes for $9.99. .. "In It For the Change" features 15 tracks inspired by Sneakas' personal experiences as an Israeli Jew--and boasts a series of Hip Hop heavyweights. Tracks with radio ready hooks include "My Music," "No Time for Games" (featuring Kool G Rap, Bless and GTO), "5 Mics" (feat. four Israeli rappers: Booskills, Shi 360, Sky and Subliminal), "Two Stories" (feat. Wordsworth), "Wit Us" (feat. Ras Kass) and "In It For the Change" (feat. Maya and Momy Levi). The LP is also packed with social and political messaging in tracks like As an artist, his mission is to initiate positive change in the world through music and his socio-political messages."The Virus," "Middle Eastern Jumpoff,""Hebrew Mamita", "Learn to Fall" and "Uni Worship." .. Sneakas came to the attention of U.S. labels after appearing on the double-Platinum album, The Light and the Shadow, from Israeli Hip-Hop sensations Subliminal and the Shadow. The young Israeli MC has performed for crowds upwards of 10,000 and has opened in the U.S. for artists such as, Wu Tangs' Remedy, Miri Ben-Ari and Lupe Fiasco. .. Sneakas' next album is already in the works--a collaboration with Muslim rapper Mazzi. The album will focus on their view on the Middle East and American politics. Although the two rappers have differing opinions about the Middle East, the album is proof that forums of non-violent expression between Jews and Muslims do exist. Collaborators for this project include MC Search and Noose. .. The 26-year old MC known as Sneakas, was born Yoni Ben-Yehuda in Tel-Aviv, Israel. After moving to Manhattan at age 11, he quickly became fascinated by Hip-Hop culture. Using his extensive musical background, which includes classical training in both bass guitar and drums, Sneakas started writing rhymes and producing his own music. After years of honing his skills in the underground circuit of New York City, Sneakas was signed in 2001 to the production company, Nu Media, whose production credits include the likes of Notorious B.I.G., LL Cool J, Babyface, TLC, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Faith Hill, Kirk Franklin and Bob Dylan. .. In 2003, Sneakas toured for a year in the Middle East, performing in hundreds of clubs, festivals, fundraisers and other venues. Since his return to New York in 2004, he has continued to carve a niche for himself in the NYC Hip-Hop scene with performances at B.B Kings, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Pussycat Lounge, Bowery Poetry Club, The Knitting Factory, M1-5, The Groove and The Bitter End. .. As an artist, his mission is to initiate positive change in the world through music and his socio-political messages. .. Sneakas' EP "Rap, Kicks and Politics" is also available on iTunes. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .. ..........I created my own profile using ..nUCLEArcENTURy.COM.. ...... ......

Bio:

Hebonics 101 is the latest mixtape from up-and-coming NYC rapper Sneakas. The mixtape is hosted by Peter Rosenberg (Hot 97) and presented by M.C. Serch's (3rd Bass and VH1's White Rapper Show) imprint Serchlite Multimedia.

Hebonics 101 boasts 13 original tracks featuring guest appearances from Ill Bill, Iron Solomon, MC Serch and more. The new mixtape is not so much about religion as it is about Jewish street culture connected through the veins of hip-hop.

So sit-back, pour yourself a nice cup of Matzoh ball soup and check out hip-hop through the perspective of a Jewish New York kid with crazy flow and insane punchlines. If you love your mom, Hebonics 101 is for you.
