About Me
"We Here NOW!" is the declaration C.E.E.G recording artist, Young Monk makes when speaking on the love he has for his hometown of Benton Harbor, MI a.k.a "THE HARBOR." At first glance the 6'4'', 220 lbs. young man may appear quiet...but cocky. "Being from The Harbor helped me develop my swag! I'm real confident and comfortable with who I am as a young man, and at times I may come off a little cocky or conceited, but I'm one of the realest, most down to Earth individuals you could ever meet" says the self proclaimed Great Lake Ambassador. Being at the tender age of 21, Young Monk has mastered the ability to create music that touches the hearts of all age groups. "I'm a young man, with a soul from the 70's! My grandmother basically raised me, so I grew around alot of Al Green, Sam Cook, Marvin Gay, and artist of that nature. Those artist made music that was from the soul, music that touched you, music that triggered your emotions, and I rap from my heart, so I know it touches your soul!"
When you first insert a Young Monk-E cd into your player and press play, you hear the voice of a seasoned vet. His energy, charisma, and lyrical content is second to none! "I've only been rapping for about 3 years. Before rap I was playing ball, playing girls, and playing in the streets. I always knew I could rap, but I never really took it serious. When I got kicked out of school my senior year, I had to find something else that I was good at besides ball!"
That something just happend to be music. "Monk is a natural born star" says his manager Morrow. "Official has what I like to call the "IT FACTOR". In the history of rap only a few artist have had the "IT FACTOR". Official is the perfect blend, he's a mix of 2Pac, Biggie, and Jay-Z. If you don't believe me, listen to his work. His music is undeniable. He is The Truth"
"We Here NOW!!!"
