Lynching is a word synonymous with murder. Staten Island's NYOIL, tired of seeing the metaphorical death in the eyes of shorties around his block, decided to fight back by spittin truth. Voicing his frustrations through his edutainment style of MCing brought forth the October 2006 release of NYOIL s (pronounced N.Y. Oil) self-produced single Ya ll Should All Get Lynched.

“I haven’t been this interested in a new artist in years”
- Stephan Szillus, Juice Magazine (Germany)
“ NYOIL makes you pay attention to him with his subject matter. His song topics are something most artists today are not bold enough to touch."
- Steve "Raze" Julien, Allhiphop.com
"NYOIL has a real refreshing sound. It's incredible."
- Adam Aziz, HHNLive.com
With no features, no fluff, and no big name, overpriced producers, HoodTREASON is hip-hop in its truest sense blending tight rhymes and cadences with strong beats. Songs such as “Hip Hop You Don’t Stop” (produced by Mozaic) and the first single “Shout it in the Streets” (produced by Speek Greene) have an early 90’s feel to them allowing the hip-hop connoisseur to revel in the nostalgia. Containing 13 heartfelt, thought provoking songs, along with spoken word interludes and interview excerpts, HoodTREASON provides an entertaining and enlightening listening experience from start to finish.
