San Jose’s Yonex Jones likes to share what he’s passionate about, whether it’s snacks, t-shirt graphics, pop-up shows, or rap tracks recorded by him and his friends; he serves it all up under his Tankshop/Tankshit brand. He’s the ultimate DIY entrepreneur, managing to seamlessly merge his persona as a salesman and an artist. The rapper is also an ambassador, reflecting the lives of his community and giving voice to their struggles as well as their resilience and their underdog identity within the larger Bay Area scene. He headlines the live version of The Stop Drop and Roll Show this week, which also includes a talk and an artist interview.
