Yo Majesty

Tampa, FL-based group Yo Majesty -- Shunda K., Shon B., and Jwl B. Seen to be challenging the male chauvinist standard in hip-hop music with a hardcore female bravado adopting an almost punk approach to a hybrid of southern crunk and '80s-styled electro. Gained notoriety in the 2000s for their sex-filled rhymes and boisterous and unbridled live shows. Rappers Shunda K. and Shon B. started out as a duo named Yeah Majesty before they were rounded out in 2000 by gospel-raised vocalist Jwl B. They met London-based electronica duo Hard Feelings UK (David Alexander and Richard Winstanley) in 2002 who supplied Yo Majesty with their electro-rap club beats. Once they established a name for themselves on the underground club circuit, both in the U.S. and the U.K., Yo Majesty pressed their first official release, the Yo EP, in 2006. In 2007 they have toured alongside "CSS" and "The Gossip"

The group signed with Domino Records in 2007.
