Yung Redd

On the 28th day of of May in 1985 I was brought into this world by my two beautiful parents in Jamaica Queens, New York. My childhood was pretty much like any other kid my age who lived in a household with two older siblings. In 1990 I assume my mother and father out grew one another so my mom decided to pack up a "Uhaul" and move my siblings, and I to Atlanta, Georgia. My mother was originally from a little small town in Georgia but Atlanta would be something new for her as well. Through my adolescent and teen years I lived in various places around Atlanta ranging from East Point, College Park, Pittsburgh, and one of Atlanta's most notorious neighborhoods commonly known as the" Bluff". I recognized that I had a gift at the age of 13 when I realized I could put words together on paper and end up with a short story that actually made sense. I still didn't realize I could rap until I heard Mia X's "Unlady Like" album. I owe her a lot. She was the first female rapper I ever heard that was spitting like that. And you have to keep in mind that this was an area where there wasn't any female rappers flowing harder then some males. I mean, there was female rappers talking about how good they sucked, or how good they F**ked. But there was not one female artist that was actually spitting some real life, hard core shit
