Yung Berg: The Newest Rapper to Explode the Airwaves
Staff Writer, Mixtapekings.com
Yung Berg, the 21-year-old veteran, had a chance to sit down with me at his video set for the remix to "Sexy Lady". Yes, you heard right, the song that is infecting you with earworms isn't going anywhere just yet.
In the midst of all the commotion - and I mean a lot of commotion- Yung Berg keeps his cool and sits patiently, hands crossed, ready to roll with the punches. However, the first punch hit him before we ever sat down for this interview.
Several years ago, Yung Berg was already on the grind. That grind suddenly came to a halt when he was sent to military school. A move that consequently ridded him of a deal with DMX's record label Bloodline. Later realizing that being sent away to military school was a blessing in disguise since it was the place where he perfected his craft.
With no television and radio, Berg was able to block out all media and transfer all his energies into writing. Still baffled at the thought of no T.V. or radio, I asked again, still skeptical, "How did you cope!?" He smirks and says, "I was writing...and praying."
He says praying with hesitation, but the word resonates after it's spoken. It puts into perspective the experience. Who could blame him for praying? Imagine having a record deal at your fingertips and having that taken away from you.
Fast forward to the present and Yung Berg is already heavily grindin' it out with the big dawgs in the industry. Having seen it all from a tender teen age, Yung Berg asks for nothing but respect. And if you haven't yet learned to respect him then you obviously don't fathom his struggle.
When asked about his young age ever being a concern to others, he slyly answers, "Nah, and if it is, then they haven't checked the resume."
Keep an eye out for the video to "Sexy Lady Remix" featuring Jim Jones and RichBoy.
