Cartier; Yung Fette-Ola or Nav-ee, is coming to us by way of
Hackensack, NJ with street ties in Washington Heights, Harlem
NYC and Harvey Illinois. Cartier is a new breed of MC, he
is not only a recording artist, but a producer, a business
professional with a degree in Marketing, and currently he is
going into his 3rd year of law school at Hofstra University
School of Law (where he is Co-President of the Sports and

since middle school, but it was not until 1997, when he moved to
Virginia that he aggressively began promoting himself in the
Tidewater and Northern New Jersey areas.
