His career begin @ age 17 when he and DJ Tony D opened company Two Tone Productions in Trenton NJ. YZ and group members G-Rock and DJ Tink released the single “I am who I am/I’m Bad(1989) on Trenton independent label (Rockin’ Hard Records). YZ then acquired half the company Diversity Records also in Trenton NJ. YZ released maxi single “In Control of Things/Thinking of a Master Plan” in 1989 on Diversity Records.
