Life for K-Yungsta has always been revolved around music. Though he is originally a Baton Rouge native, Houston has been a home to him for many years. "Don't get me wrong, I will always represent my hometown (Baton Rouge). But Houston is where I'm at and where I'm about to make it happen". It was the year 1993 when K-Yung was first exposed to the rap game. "I used to hang with 8-Ball and MJG every weekend as a little boy. I was up on everything they did as they were recording their first album."
K-Yung's infatuation with rap and music sprouted and continued to grow during his memorable time he spent with one of the Source magazine's acclaimed, top hip hop artists. But eventually, the 'Comin Out Hard' album dropped and succeeded and 8-Ball and MJG had to pack up and leave Houston to further their fresh groundbreaking career. "Them leaving is what really did it for me. All I wanted to do was music after that."K-Yung started off his dream by singing. He would perform in front of family members and at family events. "I always had a voice but my true calling was to rap". The year 1996 was the year of his focus. MMB (Money Makin' Brotherz) was the name of the group which consisted of two of K-Yung's uncles. They were widely known on the northside of Houston for their unforgettable single "Fuck the Cops". "Man, they made a lot of noise out there on the north." K-Yung's father and uncles are responsible for his experience and knowledge of the streets which procreated his demeanor. "My people were straight street niggas, hustlers. And they still are. I witnessed a lot of shit at an early age. That's why nobody can challenge me on what I say in my rhymes". Between MMB and being up on Tupac along with other gangster rap, K-Yung's inspiration was to definitely be a part of the rap game.It wasn't until the year 2000, when he was fifteen years old, that he decided it was time to get on his grind. Taking the position as the leader, K-Yung (K.D. at the time) formed his first group "The Quail Green West Boys", which included five other members from the neighborhood he resided in. When that did not work out after two years, K-Yung decided he should go solo. In 2002, the well-known club and studio "The Spot" located in Mo. City, Texas opened. He began to work with Big Biz of Big Bizzness Records and recording at the new "spot". During this time K-Yung was also featured on Houston's Street Flava promoting himself and also did his first show. "The show didn't go so well. I was nervous that time and I fucked up on my rhymes. That was the last and only time that happened though". Sooner than expected, things at The Spot started slowing up and got post-poned. After another let down, K-Yung was confused about which route to go and just started doing things to please others, including gospel rap. Although he and his group had a hit song "Eaze my Pain" at his church, deep down inside gospel rap was not what he desired to do. "I wasn't expressing the REAL me. I wanted to express who I was: from the streets all the way to being a fly ass nigga".It was shortly after K-Yung's phase of gospel rap when he formed the group M-squad which started off with two additional members from his first group. They recorded all of their material at the studio of Big Red the GoGetta, a once prominent artist in Mo. City (now signed with Short Stop Records). They finished up their first mixtape "Welcome to our Battlefield" which consisted of 23 straight diss tracks. After adding another member to the group, M-Squad dropped another mixtape called "No Mercy". The project fell in to the hands of Wylatte Price of Speekeezy Entertainment in 2003. "It was bull-shit. We recorded material for two years and dude ain't even promote us right". So they left. (One member decided to stay).After leaving Speekeezy Entertainment, K-Yung continued to take steps on the stairway to success. The three remaining members went out and performed at talent shows and open mic nights throughout the city of Houston. They felt their hard work paid off when they signed with Larry "Big Dawg" Holland and Presidential Music Group out of New Orleans, Louisiana in 2006. They went straight to Atlanta, Georgia to record their original material at BME studios. They traveled to New Orleans to record as well. "Things were going good at first but a lot of bull shit happened and Presidential stopped grinding. I'm the only one grinding and putting up money so I'm just worried about me as a solo artist".Since the Presidential pause, K-Yung has been collaborating with different artists who, like he, are grinding for a purpose. Currently, he is working with producer John Bido from Rap-A-Lot Records who is now putting out his new label Recordnoize Records. He is working on a radio single, and new mixtape H-Town Motivation Pt. II, with plenty of featured artists Houston knows and loves. K-Yung plans to do a lot of traveling to do shows, push his mixtapes, and to collab for his new album that he's been waiting to drop for so many years "H.N.I.C. Vol. I". The album will feature multiple guest appearances so be on the look out in 2007. "For '07, the whole world is finally gonna know who K-Yung and Hustle City is".**************************************************You can also catch K-yungsta featured on a great deal of mixtapes and DVD's including Tha Black Al Capone, Fiyah TV, MISSISSIPPI, & SEA 2007.For booking, features, drops, and inquiries:contact: (832) 704-8668 Hustle City Ent."; I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
