YNIC B isn’t new to Hip Hop. He began his music career in 2017 under the name B Smith but changed it after discovering another artist by the same name. He used that opportunity to reintroduce himself and create the label YNIC (You (K)Now It’s Cash Money) Entertainment in 2021.
A native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, YNIC B always had a way with words. After several friends encouraged him to do something with that talent, he took that advice, grabbed a pen and a pad, and started writing his bio in lyrical form. His friends and family were feeling his raw lyrics that described the poverty he grew up in, the streets that helped raise him, and the legal troubles he found himself in. He hasn’t always made the best choices and those choices landed YNIC in court trials five times and each time there was no conviction. He realizes he's blessed and now stays out of trouble and focuses on more positive things like his music.
YNIC B’s musical influences include Young Scooter, Jeezy, Yo Gotti, Boosie Badazz, T.I., Master P, UGK, and 2 Pac. Like them, he hopes to have thousands of fans and a long career but while creating his own lane. YNIC B prides himself on being unique, and it shows in his songs. He purposely rhymes offbeat and switches up his style in music and fashion. He also has a crazy work ethic that drives him to do no less than three songs whenever he steps in the booth. Under the Name B. Smith, he released two mixtapes. In 2017, he dropped Streets On Trial and Beat A Body Yungin in 2018 and 2 EP’s Everything Ain’t Easy and Warning signs in 2018. The streets responded favorably to his singles “Tax Season”, “Ready 4 War” featuring Ray Vicks, and “Listen” featuring Ralo.
With a new name and new determination, YNIC B will soon release a new EP and the first single, “Sho Em,” is out now. It issues a warning to anyone trying to underestimate him. In his mind, he has a lot to prove and a lot of time to make up for but rather than talk YNIC B has a plan to just Sho Em.

Shadow gained his name originally from hanging with his uncles, biological father, & their friends as a kid, but wouldn’t stick until he was much older. The name resurfaced as it was used as a joke because he was dark-skinned, saying he was like a “shadow” in the picture. As time went on he resented the name, later gaining nicknames like “Too Kool,” “Kool Kat Campbell,” & later combining them to make a Facebook name “Too Real;” it wouldn’t be until 2020 where he decided to add 2 Real to his name after music distributions would add other artist’s music to his & vice versa.
During high school, Shadow was around different groups of people. His biggest influence was Joseph Kate who was killed September 19, 2011. “Ain’t No Love Like My Mama,” recorded in 2011 was his first song, single, & first time behind a mic. After recording three songs from his friend’s closet, working, going to school, & running into some trouble here & there in the streets he decided to join the U.S. Air Force. Not long after joining he linked up with fellow service member & lifetime friend “Jermaine “JayDub” Wadley. The two would go on to create music later releasing “Rummage from the Vault” in 2014, Shadow’s first & JayDub’s 7th mixtape. They would soon go their separate ways & leave music alone. In 2019 while in Africa, Shadow would get back into music after playing around with an app called “BandLab” & creating a song called “Island Wind.” The uproar from a single song pushed him to continue music & dropping his 2nd mixtape “Glitch” as a way of saying he’s back & better than ever. In 2020 he released an R&B album “Canvas” which featured Camo & JayDub, while catching a lot of steam & encouragement in the process. His latest project “No Pressure” with JayDub will be released March 3, 2021.
