F.L.Y. - Jamboree Album Review

By: Jabari Oliver
Meet the Stone Mountaineers Mook (The Young Zack Morris), Vee (The Ralph Lauren Mascot), and (Kid) Myko McFly. Together they make up the Def Jam super group the Fast Life Youngstaz, better known as FLY. In their early stages, it was Vee and Myko McFly who were in a rap group called “Die Hard” when they were in High School while Mook was in his own rap group called “Affiliated.” The two groups came together to form two different and more powerful groups called “Band Geakz” and “Fast Life Youngstaz” (FLY). The “FLY” concept comes from the swaggerific notion of being trendsetters with a fast lifestyle, setting tones in the way they dress and approach life’s treasures on a positive note. Their music meshes a sense of feel good music into festival killer party bangers. Read more
