Group

The duo of Yea Big + Kid Static was formed in late 2005 by Stefen Robinson (Yea Big) and Moses Harris, Jr. (Kid Static). Their work is a blend of sample-based experimental hip-hop, D.I.Y. punk, and roots music. Yea Big + Kid Static has toured with bands as diverse as The Mae Shi, Rapider Than Horsepower, Bark Bark Bark and Gentleman Auction House; and released a digital-only side project, "Secretary", with Brad Breeck (of The Mae Shi) and Andrea Cochran. The group is not active as of January 2014.

Kid Static

Moses Harris Jr., or "Kid Static", lives in Los Angeles, California as of 2014. He is focused on recording (including solo material), and performing with Open Mike Eagle.

Yea Big

Stefen Robinson, or "Yea Big," currently spends most of his time working with a community education project, the "Common Action Free School," and participating in other community work and activism. Robinson grew up in Kankakee, Illinois, lived for several years in Chicago, and currently resides in Normal, Illinois.

Yea Big has recorded and released several full-length recordings and EP's, both solo and with his main collaborator, Kid Static. In June 2012, Yea Big signed with the record label, Illegal Art, and on October 16, 2012, released his second solo full-length, The Wind That Blows the Dandelion's Seeds.

Robinson's work is influenced by his interests regarding private and intellectual property, fair use, democratic education, social change, capitalism, pacifism, and the principles of Social Anarchism.
