THE YAH MOS DEF [http://www.myspace.com/theyahmosdef]
Four hours of nasty hip hop soul rock & dance classics provided by "the killadelphia export" himself Major Taylor (AKA Osama Spinladin)!!!
YMD sample your favorite circa-1994 screamo tunes and in their short time, have proven to be one of the most entertaining live acts in Philadelphia.

The Yah-Mos were easily the first Nation of Ulysses rip-off band - preceding Refused by a number of years.
