The D.E.Y.

The D.E.Y. is a Latin Hip hop group that debuted in 2007, following in the footsteps of the Fugees and The Black Eyed Peas. The group is composed of members Divine, Élan, and Yeyo. The trio's name is also meant to symbolize a new day in music.

Early years

Though the trio of musicians who make up the D.E.Y. didn't grow up together, their interests, both personal and musical, were very similar. When they did eventually meet, they knew immediately that they should work together. MC Divine was born and spent much of his life in the South Bronx, but moved to Puerto Rico in 1998. In 1999, he was introduced to an intrigued Yeyo and the two made a quick connection, recording a single on the night of their meeting that made local radio. Yeyo, born in Puerto Rico, made splashes in the island's underground hip-hip scene in 1999 when he released the politically charged "Viequez." However, like some groups, The D.E.Y. weren't able to make it big until their final addition.

Although MC Divine first met singer Élan Luz Rivera, a young woman of Puerto Rican descent (who grew up in New York and made her first appearance on Broadway by age 16, when she played Cookie in the musical The Capeman) at Miami's Soulfrito Festival in the early 2000s, it wasn't until 2005 that they were introduced again that they decided to get together. Calling themselves The D.E.Y., the three went into Yeyo's Miami studio, where they began working on their own material, a combination of urban R&B, Latin, hip-hop, and pop meant to have cross-cultural (and language) appeal. Signed to Epic, they began recording the tracks that would end up on both their EP, The DEY Has Come (2007), and their debut full-length album, but not before co-writing and performing in singer Paula DeAnda's song "Walk Away (Remember Me)."

Yokosuka E1Y

The Yokosuka E1Y was a Japanese floatplane of the 1920s. A single-engined biplane that was designed and developed by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal as a reconnaissance aircraft for the Imperial Japanese Navy, 320 were built as the Type 14 Reconnaissance Seaplane, entering service in 1925 and remained in operational service until 1932.

Development and design

In 1921, the Japanese Naval Arsenal at Yokosuka started design of a single-engined reconnaissance floatplane to replace the Navy's Yokosuka Ro-go Ko-gata floatplanes. The resulting aircraft, the Type 10 Reconnaissance Seaplane was designed by a team led by a member of a visiting delegation from Short Brothers of the United Kingdom. It was a single-engined two-bay, two-seat biplane powered by a 400 hp (298 kW) Lorraine-Dietrich engine. Two were completed in 1923, but showed poor performance due to being overweight. A modified aircraft, the Type 10 Model A flew in 1924, showing only slight improvement, while a further revised prototype, the Model B flew in 1925, this curing the aircraft's weight problems while demonstrating better stability and control. As a result, several pre-production Type Bs were built.
