User:YUNG LOUNACY

Yung Lounacy, born Darrion Robinson, was born on November 21, 1988 on the south side of St. Louis, Missouri. Raised by a single mother in a household where music was always either playing on the radio or every week on Soul Train, helped introduce him to this art form at an early age. Inspired by Jay-Z and at the time new rapper T.I., he began rapping at the age of 12 going by the name Lil Statiq. Free-styling in and out of school, Lil Statiq quickly became known for his outgoingness and wild personality. It was in high school when he first met his now best friend and business partner, Austin “Propz” Klobe, and ever since that day things were in motion. He began by recording on just a computer in the living room just to see the if people even wanted to listen to what he had to say. They listened and wanted more from Lil Statiq. So he decided to invest more time and money into this dream he was now going to pursue. Along the way, Lil Statiq was introduced to an up and coming producer, named J. Prophecee, who had heard some of his material and thought his flow was “lunacy” and since that day the name stuck. Since then, Yung Lounacy has began to broaden his horizons, working with different genres of music that he wasn't accustomed to, doing songs with a mix of pop and rock while still sticking to his hip hop roots. Now working alongside his two best friends and business partners, Yung Lounacy has become a young entrepreneur. He is currently the co-founder of the label, Flight Republic LLC, and clothing line, Mental House, and continues to amaze his peers. Along with promoting himself through Youtube videos and doing local shows including a performance of his first single “Swag It Out” at the Super Jam 2009 showcase, he is currently hard at work writing and recording material for his upcoming mix tape and EP. Yung Lounacy is dedicated to get his voice heard and is a force to be reckoned with. All it took was a kid with a dream and push to accomplish everything he has achieved up to this point. But Yung Lounacy is not done there. This is only the beginning.
