BEST GUIDE TO HIP HOP EVENTS, SHOWS & CONCERTS x SOCIAL NETWORK
Reck Yosiah - "Nostalgia"
Reck was born in Christiansted, St. Croix, where he lived briefly as a small child before moving with his mother to Brooklyn, New York. When in New York City, he was exposed to the hip-hop culture listening to The Notorious B.I.G. through neighbors radios and on the bus. Not only was Reck exposed to hip-hop in New York, but that is where he would find his R&B roots from groups and artists such as Boyz 2 Men, B2K, Mario, and Jagged Edge.
As a teenager Reck was fascinated by poetry and rap but never considered trying it himself until high school. He heard of an artist by the name of Drake, rap on the show Degrassi. It was from that moment on that Reck decided that just maybe he could mix his poetry with a beat and create a song. In early 2010 Reck's life was rocked by tragedy when his father passed away, during that time he became rebellious and reckless.
Later that year he came up with an idea that would later turn into the movement that is GO Official. A year later, in 2011 he would collaborate with his longtime friend Nazzy and meet Makkeio in Las Vegas to form the collective GO Official. Reck's style is a blend of poetry and life situations. He's influenced by the world around him and tells stories for the world from the world. Reck considers his music almost like a timeline of his life as well meshing a bit of witty lyrics to the trials and tribulations of life he's been through thus far.
In Fall 2015 Reck released his first official single PLANNIN on iTunes and streaming services. Reck considers it a milestone, separating a hobby from a passion and letting the world know that he's arrived. Reck now is the CEO of GO Official, LLC which consists of the Positive Mindset Clothing line as well as G.O. Entertainment. As for the future Reck plans on building the Go Official brand into one that can stand the test of time and create music that'll live on forever.
