About this album
Hold Up is a 16-song album from Young Mennace, released in 2008. It's hip-hop and contemporary r&b, fun, confident and cool, built on synth, drums and bass. The songs run 86 to 168 BPM, in keys like G minor, B minor and E minor, and they're a mix of vocal and instrumental tracks. It's a natural fit for sports, commercials, trailers and film and documentary work. Some songs come with an instrumental, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
