The Song:
Just under one week away from the April 25th release of his debut album, The Proven Theory, Bronx rapper YONAS is providing patient fans with the final pre-release leak with his new song "Nobody Else." While The Proven Theory combines infectious hooks with diverse and catchy beats, the underlying theme throughout the album is one of perseverance through struggle, as YONAS weaves his own stories that offer a brighter and uplifting take on life's trials. And that theme continues with "Nobody Else," one of the most sincere tracks on the album. Flaring synthesizers, a sweetly orchestrated string section, and a plucking guitar all contributing to the song's emotional tone, allowing YONAS to deliver an inspiring message that echoes classics like 2pac's "Keep Your Head Up," all while offering a new spin that remains honest and personal to YONAS' own story. "I'm thinking about a way I can help us get the message/ Maybe through my music I'll alleviate the stresses," raps YONAS, continuing, "Everything I learned, I learned through my mother's essence/ And thanks to her I'm unafraid to ask the tougher questions."
Fans can also look forward to a special remix for "Nobody Else" featuring Phil Ade and dropping this coming Monday to celebrate the release of The Proven Theory.

Background:
The son of a Ugandan mother and Ethiopian father, YONAS was in tune with music at a very young age. He learned how to play violin at 5 and attended a program at Julliard while in middle school. Taking a full-time approach to music after receiving his GED, Yonas's very first project, The New Golden Era, released in 2008, earned him a Billboard Songwriting Award for Best Hip Hop/Rap Song. His next release, the I Am Us EP, received over 50,000 downloads. Backed by his material, the MC began sharing stages with acts such as Pharoahe Monch, Curren$y, and Big K.R.I.T. to name a few. Now, for 2011 and beyond, YONAS' goal with his live shows and official debut, The Proven Theory, which will be released April 25, 2011 is simple, to be a "universal artist."
