Y-Love (Yitz Jordan) is part of the new guard of hip hop revolutionaries. Describing his style as "global hip hop," Y-Love seamlessly intertwines English, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and ancient Aramaic. He combines ethereal scripture with gritty social consciousness, reflecting his own life-changing conversion to Hasidism. Having graced the stage with luminaries as varied and respected as Lou Reed, DJ Spooky, Hadag Nachash, Matisyahu, Steinski, and Immortal Technique, Y-Love has proven himself as a formidable presence in the world of hip hop.
Y-Love's upcoming album, "This is Babylon," boasts stand-out electric dance tracks like "Bring It On Down" and politically supercharged anthems such as "6000," with production by Jake Break, who brings a Parliment/Outkast-esque vibe to the project. Y-Love was the subject of over 70 articles just this past year. Y-Love has been featured in publications from USA Today to Italy's La Repubblica and XXL Magazine. URB placed Y-Love in their NEXT 1000 and The Jerusalem Post called him "the scene's next crossover success". With each word he spits in the tongue of ancient Babylon, Y-Love breathes new life into hip-hop, one beat at a time.
Y-Love's "This is Babylon" album out on Itunes, March 2008 and in stores April 2008 on Modular Moods/Craig'n'Co/Fontana/Universal.

I shall raise my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come? My help is from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to falter; Your Guardian will not slumber. Behold the Guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your Guardian; the Lord is your shadow; [He is] by your right hand. By day, the sun will not smite you, nor will the moon at night. The Lord will guard you from all evil; He will guard your soul. The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from now and to eternity.
There is a special place in life, that needs my humble skill, A certain job I’m meant to do, which no one else can fulfil. The time will be demanding, and the pay is not too good And yet I wouldn’t change it for a moment -- even if I could There is a special place in life, a goal I must attain, A dream that I must follow, because I won’t be back again. There is a mark that I must leave, however small it seems to be, A legacy of love for those who follow after me There is a special place in life, that only I may share, A little path that bears my name, awaiting me somewhere. There is a hand that I must hold, a word that I must say, A smile that I must give for there are tears to blow away. There is a special place in life that I was meant to fill. A sunny spot where flowers grow, upon a windy hill. There’s always a tomorrow and the best is yet to be, And somewhere in this world, I know there is a place for me.
