NYOIL (pronounced N-Y Oil) (born April 29, 1971) is an American emcee from Staten Island, New York City.
[3] He began rapping at the age of twelve, and in 1988 he paired up with fellow Staten Island rapper Haas G to form the hip-hop duo the U.M.C.'s.
[8][5] Their second studio album Unleashed failed to achieve as much critical or commercial success as their first and the pair parted ways soon after.
In December 2006, around the same time that Nas released his critically acclaimed album Hip Hop Is Dead, NYOIL put a video up on MySpace and YouTube for his song "Y'All Should All Get Lynched", which was produced by DJ Slice of The Cr8Kickers.
Singles from the album include "Y'All Should All Get Lynched", "Purrrfect Beat", and "Hip Hop Ya Don't Stop".
