Once upon a time, there were two teen-age Yips named Jason and Brian. Word. These weren't just ordinary boys. These Yips could jam and wail. It beat like this: in church, at school or just kickin' it on the street, these boys were hard core with the serious gear, the freshest tunes and the moves that were down by law.

One day, it occurred to Jason and Brian that maybe all this treacherous kickin' and jammin' could really put them over. As in throwin' down on wax. But, like, these Yips were just homeboys from Orlando, Florida. They had no juice.

"If only we could dip to Dorothy's Kansas." the homeboys joked, "We could chill with 'The Mentor' and get some def tips on how to make our music get off."

Yo - so check it out: "The Mentor" was just down the road and the Yips knew if they didn't go for it now they might not ever have the chance again. Word. They found "The Mentor" and he understood their Dream. He said, "You believe in yourselves and so do I. We must look to the Sun for light shall bring us many treasures. I can lead you to BunnyLand (that's SAF, you dig) and there you will find all you need. But you must be down to work hard and be determined to win. If you believe you will succeed."

Well, as always, "The Mentor" was right and now the two Yips with a dream, from Orlando, Florida, have become a reality - Hittin' It Hard - YIP-YIP!
