Chris Young the Artist (born Christopher Katrell Young on July 30th, 1989) is an American rapper-songwriter, poet, and producer who has been chasing his dream since the age of 12. Much of Young's work involves mesh-ups of hip-hop, electronica and jazz. At the age of 15, Chris Young's album Let Me Live was reviewed on rapreviews.com as one of the top albums of 2004. Since then, under the moniker of "YoungOne", Chris recorded several other albums and in 2007 he took a greyhound bus to the Scribble Jam Emcee Battle preliminaries in Los Angeles. It was rumored that after taking 2nd place in this battle, he dropped the YoungOne alias and became strictly known as Chris Young.

Young's lyrics incorporate political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying existing rap music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture.
