Raised in Scarborough (The most Eastern sector of Toronto, Canada) Tahir Grant Jr. is the conduit of his upbringing and his hometown. His stature mirroring that of an NBA player and his ability to effortlessly switch between his native English & self-taught Japanese while rhyming has garnered him the name "Yasuke". Yasuke was a samurai of African descent in feudal Japan who was in fact the first Non-Japanese warrior to become one. Gaining notoriety via social media footage of himself rapping fluently in Japanese, Tahir's fans began to call him Yasuke, to which he fully embraced.
Yasuke's style is derived from a myriad of sources including but not limited to Andre 3000, Pharrell Williams, Childish Gambino, Kohh and Prince. With his heavy hitting drums and sometimes melancholic lyrics about his upbringing, Yasuke seeks to be the bridge between both the North American and Japanese music markets. Inserting himself in history alongside his predecessor.
