Details:
In the mid seventies, a new culture was born, a culture that brought about a new way of living to it's people. This culture also picked up soo many elements of life as it grew up to fame. This culture was called Hip Hop. There were so many strong heavy weights in the rap culture of hip hop. From DJ Kool Herc, down to NWA, Rakim and down to the new era of 2Pac,Notorious BIG, Busta Rhymes, Jay Z and etc.

Almost a decade after the invention of this culture, somewhere in the motherland, the wife of an ex soldier gave birth to a baby boy and she named him Isaac Fernando Minyila. He was raised by both parents in a small town in the north of Ghana(Bolgatanga). At the age of six, he was taken to a boarding school down south of Ghana with the intensions of giving him good education and good raising.

The school was very popular for it's music and it's ability to bring out young musicians. But his parents didn't want him to become a musician due to the mistakes some great musicians did, like getting addicted to drugs, but to me,Y-Tee says": I think God made me to go to school there learn the concepts of music. There, he joined the school band and studied how to play drums. After skipping drum lessons for sometime, he was dismissed from the band. But that didn't let his love for music game down, still druming on boxes and tables while friends beat box with their mouths, they still made pretty good tunes to the ear.

At J.S.S 2 (8th Grade), he started writting and miming famous tunes of artist like Shaggy, Busta Rhymes, Dr. Dre,Tupac and Snoop Dogg. At S.S.S.1(10th Grade), he started writting his own lyrics and started performing, by then, his love for the game grew much more stronger and was unleashed like a beast.Always skipping school and spending more time in the studio,even, if he didn't have money to record, he still loved and admired just being in the studio watching others record and engineers at work.

He later then heard production works of Dr. Dre, which drew his attention to another side of the game of being a producer, performing at local shows and learning production works from a close friend Paa Jay, who was an engineer in Studio 502,. Y-Tee never gave up to what he believd in. Making wack beats and being laughed at, he still aimed for what he was looking for.

Going through a lot of up's and downs, Y-Tee still stood strong to his theme "LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT". He always found ways and means of making it no matter what it takes. Never under estimate a nigger you see on any street, being it the America or any other place. Growing up in the street of America is one hard thing but growing up in the street of the motherland(Africa) is a hard fight for survival, not a hustle for fancy stuff like the bently's and bling blings.

Whatever i say i my music is either stuff i've been through, or stuff i seen happen to people close to me.For soo many years practicing music and engineering, the right time now came for him to put his skills into use. Working with underground rap artist like Bone Dog, Holy Sinner, Flexybone, Israel,G-Dogg,Storm, Redmoney, Young Ice, Kwaku Nsoroma and productions for Yatta and the whole of Grind Hard Productions.

Still looking out for more to do like moving into music video directing and acting, you could tell for yourself, who and what Y-Tee is made up off.. He stood to the Hustlers game and played it by his own rules. This is Y-Tee's music life.
