The perfect prototype of a go-getter, Yung Damon! is successfully emerging amongst a generation of trap rappers, blank music, and blah music with crafty lyrical talent like no
other in his class. Growing up in Savannah, GA Damon was isolated from
rap music. Restricted from the vulgarity and profanity of rap, he
instead listened to R&B greats like Patti Labelle, Smokey Robinson,
Brian McKnight. In spite of the early exposure to classics like
“Footsteps In The Dark”, his sharp writing ability was actually
recognized and applauded in school when given poems and short stories as
writing assignments. In 2003 he began to rap as a hobby with his cousin
JR. The two would challenge one another's word play, freestyling over
downloaded instrumentals or songs on the radio. "I was better than he
was... he stopped rapping," says Damon as he thinks back. "My work ethic
was stronger too, so when I realized I had this skill I started trying
to make something more of it."
It’s this non-stop hustle mentality that motivated Yung Damon! to study and practice with a committed dedication to perfecting his craft. Thirsty for creative inspiration that stretched farther than the all too familiar street life he observed on a daily basis, Yung Damon! exposed himself to diverse genres of literature and movies, allowing him to verbally illustrate hood life with a unique rhythmic cadence, quick wit, and clever sense of humor. With a grind stronger than a steel mill, the budding rapper eliminated the dependence of others and began schooling himself on engineering music so he could lay down tracks whenever he felt the need. "Once I learned how to count and stack bars, make hooks, bridges, it took my writing to a more professional level. Then he got out of control with it... recording like two or three songs a day!".
His hard
work ethic and dope tracks caught the attention of producer 9th Wonder.
His efforts scored a meeting with the ill producer 9th Wonder to
discuss producing tracks for Yung Damon!. This then lead to an
opportunity MCs dream of. Wonder connected Yung Damon! and his manager
at the time with Jay-Z who just happened to be in Atlanta during the
time of his famous come-back in 2006. On a search for fresh, new talent
Jay-Z ear sampled Dame's music. Recalling Hov's response, Yung Damon! says, "he kinda smiled and said I reminded him of a young Jay-Z."
With confidence, energy and much heart, Yung Damon! forged ahead,
performing at more than 30 shows in many of Atlanta's most popular
venues; Club Crucial, Royal Peacock, Scores, Throw Backs, and was even
selected to showcase the Sweet Auburn Festival.
In 2007 the late Savannah, GA rapper of Hellaflow Records, Bugga, was impressed with Yung Damon!’s material after visiting his myspace page and reached out to him. They kept in touch and in 2009 Bugga took Dame under his wing. Bugga groomed, worked on his image, and managed the business side of things then began their collaboration on a mix CD release. The untimely and unfortunate death of his mentor months later impacted Damon immensely."Bugga's death made me go harder, I went back to the lab to revamp the mixtape and added more tracks that I felt would help keep Bugga's legacy alive." While in the ATL he was fortunate to record among influential artist like: Young Jeezy, Lil' Boosie, Gucci Mane, Boo Rossini, Young Buck, Blood Raw, JW, and more. Yung Damon! has opened up for many acts such as 2 Chainz, Webbie, Gucci Mane, Bun B, Yo Gotti, Juvenile,Travis Porter, Lil' Ru, Mac Bre-Z, Future and Dolla Boy of Playaz Circle.
Now Yung Damon! has emerged from the lab and has hit the pavement hard - dropping early releases, flooding the streets with promotional CDs, underground mixed tapes, and lining up performances - all to create a buzz for the long anticipated drop of his first self-released album Exclamation!. Yung Damon! was the feature artist of the month (August 2010) on Hotmusicspot.com and valeakradio.com (September 2012). He is featured in the Unsigned hype section on Digimixcast.com.
