Biography

Young Black Teenagers (YBT) emerged in 1989 as a unique and controversial hip-hop group from Long Island, New York, composed of five white membersâATA, First Born, Tommy Never, Kamron, and DJ Skribbleâwho aligned themselves with Black culture and hip-hop. Under the mentorship of Public Enemyâs producer Hank Shocklee, they became the first act signed to his SOUL (Sound of Urban Listeners) label. Their 1991 self-titled debut album included the singles "Nobody Knows Kelli," "Proud to Be Black," and "To My Donna," while their 1993 follow-up, Dead Enz Kidz Doin' Lifetime Bidz, produced their biggest hit, "Tap the Bottle," which reached Number 6 on Billboardâs Rap chart and gained international traction. Despite their commercial momentum, YBT disbanded in 1994. Over the years, they remained a divisive group due to their name and image, but their high-energy beats and affiliation with Public Enemy secured them a place in hip-hop history. DJ Skribble later built a successful career as a DJ, further extending the group's legacy.
