A former Orthodox Jew, Jordan was formerly Hasidic.[1] Jordan rhymes in a mixture of English, Hebrew, Yiddish, Arabic, Latin and Aramaic,[2] often covering social, political and religious themes. BiographyPersonal lifeJordan, an only child, was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland to a Christian Ethiopian father and Puerto Rican mother, occasionally attending a Baptist church.[3] As a youth, Jordan was a fan of the conscientious rhymes of KRS-ONE and Public Enemy's Chuck D.[4] Jordan first became interested in Judaism at the age of seven. "I saw a commercial that said, 'Happy Passover from your friends at Channel 2,'" he said, "and I went drawing six-pointed stars on everything at my mother's house."[5] He started wearing a kippah and observing Shabbat at 14, and converted to Judaism around the turn of millennium.[6] He later spent time studying at a yeshiva in Jerusalem.[6] Jordan has also read the Quran, believing that familiarity with a variety of religious texts will help bring understanding.[7] In May 2012, Jordan came out as gay.[1] As of 2012, he still identified as an Orthodox Jew.[8] However, by 2019 he proclaimed himself off the derech[9] and reported that he was eating seafood [10] CareerAfter moving to Brooklyn in 2001, Jordan began performing at open mics around the city as Y-Love. He received a measure of criticism from the local Jewish population for also being a member of the hip hop community.[4] Y-Love released his first mixtape in 2005, DJ Handler Presents Y-Love: The Mixtape, leading to an award for Best Hip Hop Artist at Heeb's 2006 Jewish Music Awards.[4] A few years later, he teamed up with beatboxer Yuri Lane to record the a capella album, Count It (Sefira). The vocals-only offering can be listened to by Orthodox Jews year-round, including the period between Passover and Shavuot, when it's not permitted to listen to musical instruments.[11] In the Fall of 2008, Y-Love released his first solo full-length album, This Is Babylon. XXL said the album "balances Jewish spirituality with party rhymes and political commentary in an effort to spread [Y-Love's] message of global unity."[4] His 2011 EP See Me (produced by Diwon) debuted as a "New and Noteworthy Release" on the front page of the iTunes Hip Hop page. The music video for the EP's single "This Is Unity" was called "awesome" by URB.[12] Musical styleY-Love generally comes up with his rhymes through extensive freestyling. "You freestyle and wait until something hot comes out," he says.[11] The Jerusalem Post called Y-Love a "spiritual, rapping guru" who is "front and center in a trending hip-hop revolution."[5] He was named to The Jewish Weeks 2009 36 Under 36, an annual list of 36 notable Jews under the age of 36. "I'm using hip hop to elevate," Y-Love stated. "That's what I'm about."[13]DiscographyAlbums
