Photobucket

There is no phraze more fitting than A "passion filled youth" when describing this wordsmith from Brooklyn N.Y. Armed with A conscious writing style, unmatched lyrical prowess and the the intent to make a difference in hip hop culture, B. Yung is well on his way to being an essential addition to today's music industry.

Only 20 years of age and influenced mostly by revolutionary artist such as Bob Marley, Mos Def and The Roots as well as artists like Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco and Nas, it isn't hard to see where B. Yung to create influential music comes from. Drawing inspiration from life experiences and the pain of others, B. Yung has shown hunger and work ethnic like no other other in his age range. Since the year 2001, B. Yung has recorded with such prevalent and grammy award winning producers like Miri-Ben Ari, Reefa, Keezo Kane, Phonix, DJ Static, Dub-Z and many more. He has also performed alongside Mos Def and recently, Wyclef at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

Though internationally known as the next face in the Hip Hop world, B. Yung has also become a familiar face in the American Spoken Word community. In the year 2006 he was offered a slot in "LA's Def Poetry All-star Show" by Stan Lathan ,and after excepting, began a very successful career in his new found craft.

B. Yung began featuring at venues all around the states in 2007. One year later, he earned a slot on the Urban Word NYC Youth Slam team (beating out over 400 New York innercity Poets). Before performing his piece "Rumors", was by Russell Simmons personally congratulated him on his success.

In 2008, while still keeping a strong pulse within the local and national Hip Hop community, B. Yung ranked 2nd in the nation with Urbanword NYC's slamteam at the Brave New Voices National Competition while being one of the main focuses on "HBO's Brave New Voices Documentary". He also ranked first place in the "2008's Robert Redford Speak Green Poetry Competition" that was held at the world re-known Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

B. Yung's "I am a Queen" poem was one of the most memorable indie pieces at the 11th Annual BNV Competition and has earned him the chance to open up at The National Poetry Slam (Adult Competition) in Wisconsin a month later. It was than featured on the front page of the UrbanwordNyc website as well as many other online spaces.

Saul Williams says "[B. Yung] is nothing short of amazing" and Natalie "THE FLOASIST" Stewart (1/2 of Floetry) says "B. Yung delivers passion filled poetry, articulating the purpose of prose..."

B. Yung is now performing at colleges and various venues around the nation. He is also preparing to tour the nation with London based band Us3 in April (performing in places such as France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Poland, Belgium ect.) while working on his solo project set to drop sometime in the fall of 09'.
