Featured artist: OddBall aka Yung OB - The 100 Series™ & OddBall Up Next!
Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist OddBall aka Yung OB.
How did you decide to become an artist?
OddBall aka Yung OB: Growing up with music, since 4th Grade, in my mind I made the conscious decision music was something I wanted to create. Yet with no clue how, and I didn't pick up any instruments, I wanted to do more vocal work, just didn't have a clue what style or anything So I began writing Poetry and became more focused on writing never putting music down. Wasn't until I discovered Dr. Dre's 2001, Eminem's MMLP, and 2Pac All Eyez On Me that I knew exactly what style I wanted to do. With my writing already begun, the style and way I wrote changed as I became more of a Hip Hop head picking up CDs from Rakim, N.W.A, Ice Cube, 2Pac, Notorious, etc etc. Listening to Lyrics, style, Delivery. Rakim is a Huge Inspiration to teaching me how to construct verses on paper and how to freestyle. Education is key. I Officially became an Artist after High School. Teaching myself everything I know today. But I can say I was Born an Artist and My Life is the Discovery to What Legacy will I Leave behind.
From Sony A&R "If you're not ready, Don't Rush it. Never put yourself in a situation you'll Regret in the Morning." Was told to me when I was hesitant to sign a deal, I didn't because I knew I was going to regret it and The Agent knew it too. I'm happy he told me that. To this day this sticks with me, Thanks Mark!

What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?

Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
