About Me

Ay my people! The name's Vlad aka YoUnG KuRiOu$. I'm 18yrz old, livin in Australia (for now...). TLA Souljah! Currently doing a Bachelor of Social Science degree at University of Western Sydney and majoring in Sociology. I been writin my own rhymez since the age of 13, and hopin 2 get recordin soon n obviously hopin 2 get signed. My lyrics aint typical shyt, I try 2 stay away from cliche and induce more traditional poetic elementz in my rhymez and rarely associate them with cars, clothes n hoes. It's not ur chain or ur rings or wateva else u got that makes u a man - it's what u did to get to where u are. The journey is more important than the destination. Everybody got a dream that they need to live...for those that think they dont got 1, you do, u just need 2 search deep inside n discover that dream, u can do anythin u set ur mind to, and if u stay positive n determined, ur heart can take u ANYWHERE...all u gotta do is let it.
What I address in my lyrics is about the struggle. By "struggle" I mean our struggle as humans, 2 survive in this world where nothing is free. My rhymes are not race or culture-restricted, they are straight-up universal. We are in this struggle 2getha as humans, so stop the hate, stop all the racism, stop all the violence, get ya mind right and rise above all that. There is a difference between reasons and excuses.

One Love.
