Matthew Jefferson, professionally known as Kemba, formerly recognized as YC the Cynic, is an accomplished American hip hop recording artist hailing from Hunts Point, Bronx, New York. Born on November 21, 1990, he has garnered significant recognition within the music industry, being named one of the "Top 5 Underground Hip-Hop Artists in New York" by Deli Magazine in 2010.
This prestigious acknowledgment was followed by his ordination as "DXNext" by the prominent hip hop website HipHopDX in 2011. Throughout his career, Kemba has consistently emphasized his sense of responsibility to the art form, stating, "It feels like there's a void in the Bronx, and I don't necessarily feel like I have to fill it, but I feel like I could."
Kemba's impact extends beyond his solo work, as he was featured on XXXTENTACION's final posthumous album, Bad Vibes Forever.
