It is rumored that Yung 1 was born in the recording studio. At a time when most babies sleep sweetly in nurseries, he found slumber in a playpen adjacent to the board at MCA Music Publishing. Born the son of a highly respected music producer, his father would take his son with him to work before trusting the boy to strangers. As a result, Yung often confused mics and drums for toys. Needless to say, he found his niche for rhyming and performing early.
Very little of contemporary Hip-Hop is real and there is a hunger to revisit the crates for the roots. Ironically Yung 1, a Long Beach bred, Dallas transplant did just that. His goal is to bring about a Hip Hop immaculate re-conception, using classic beats and crafty lyricism spawning a renaissance of old school hip-hop in its purest and most innocent form.
Yung 1 learned from the best, sitting in on studio sessions with DJ Quik and WC from West Side Connect Gang. He quickly earned the moniker "Lil Roc" after his father, IROC. Yet ever the true hip hop artist, Yung 1 wanted to make it under his own name, paying dues along the way. What is welcoming about Yung 1 is his honest yearning to discover Hip-Hops from its source. He studies the lyrical prowess of masters like Busta, Rakim and the old soul that is T.I.
Yungin is truly a beast performing all over the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. He approaches the mic like a pro, leaving his confident swagga on the stage and into the crowd. His performances include 97.9 The Beat’s Block Party, sharing the stage with J. Holiday and Soulja Boy. He’s opened up for Erykah Badu at Dallas’ Grenada Theater as well as honored Public Enemy with a tribute performance at the 2008 SXSW Film Festival & Conference.
Yung 1 understands what it takes to be a star and is poised to be a triple threat with talents spawning beyond the microphone. His dance and drama studies landed cameo and feature appearances in music videos and film. His good looks are not camera shy either, given they've landed him modeling gigs for SOULA Wear Fashion.
In the ever changing entertainment industry, few things are certain but what is definite is lyrical promise found in this determined young artist. This is no gimmick attempt at nostalgia, but an education about the soul of an urban art form. Given preparation and opportunity, Yung 1 will deliver what we’ve lost.
