Featured artist: Yung Ro - Yung Ro Getting Money
Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist Yung Ro.
How did you decide to become an artist?
Yung Ro: My pops own a popular tattoo studio, Black Pearl Gallery. I saw many celebrities like Nelly and even old school artist like Brand Nubian come get inked up by my pops. That sparked my interest and passion. I’m running the business now so art and music walk hand and hand. I added a recording studio in the rear. Were located in downtown St. Louis. I’ve been blessed to work with Grammy production teams like Da Business, Basement Beats, and TrakStarz. I believe that was the formula of me charting Billboard.
Be the best at your craft. Love what you do. And sharpen your talent.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
I love to perform live. Besides being a tattooist and a artist. I’m a promoter for one of the hottest spots in the St. Louis area. Club Fifteen co owned by Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Edmonds.
Best punchline you ever wrote?
I got a birds nest thats a lot of sticks, i stick her fast in zanotti sticks
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
I’m 22 now. When I was 16 I charted Billboard with my first single ”Donk Dat”. It was produced by TrackBoyz the same who made ”AirForceOnes” by Nelly.
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Whatever situation will allow you creative and capital control. Being a slave to the industry isn’t conducive to anybody. Don’t dig yourself in a financial hole. So Yes if the opportunity brings wealth.
Any last words?
Shout Out to God first, my family second, and my supporters. I reside in St. Louis Mo. Right now my city is going through a violent stage. That’s why I’m coming with a different approach with music. The StL got plenty of excellent street artists so I’m doing more a feel good vibe. I’m a fan of my fans cause they fuel my success so big ups to all of them.
