Young Black Teenagers (YBT) was an American hip hop group from Long Island, New York that formed in 1989 and released two albums. Despite its name, none of the group's five members were teenagers nor black.[1][2]
Its members were ATA, First Born, Tommy Never, Kamron, and DJ Skribble.[1] YBT had the support of the prominent rap group Public Enemy, whose producer Hank Shocklee signed them as the first act of his label Sound of Urban Listeners (SOUL).[3] They released their second album with MCA Records.[1]
