YNR Productions

YNR Productions — short for Young N Restless — is a British independent hip hop record label and brand. According to its own official history, it began as a collective of artists in the late 1990s and was first established as a record label with the release of Jehst's "Premonitions" EP on limited edition 12" vinyl in 1999. The label describes itself as "one of the UK's leading Hip Hop brands" and has operated under the tagline "Representing Real Hip Hop Since 1999." YNR has played an integral part in the UK's growing hip hop scene, providing a platform for some of the country's most well-respected artists and producers. Its roster has included Jehst, Cappo, Confucius MC, Jyager, Kashmere, Kingdom of Fear, Micall Parknsun, Sir Smurf Lil', Telemachus and Verb T, among others. Releases span vinyl, digital and video formats, and the label maintains an online shop alongside its discography. As an independent label, YNR is privately held and not listed on any stock exchange. Its output is closely associated with the UK underground hip hop movement, and its catalogue includes releases such as Jehst's "Storm Z Meal" (featuring Samatar Elmi) and the album "Mork Calling Orson," from which the single "Skyline" was drawn. The label continues to release music, videos and merchandise through its official website.
