Who is Y.O.D.A.? I'll tell you who he's not, the little green guy from “Star Wars“. Y.O.D.A. stands for Young and Optimistic Dreams and Ambition. Before he was Y.O.D.A. he was Young Gunna and before that he was just plain ole Huey to the family. Stanley Howard Jr. was born on November 21, 1987 at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida. He was raised in the rough streets of Miami. Early child hood, he did allot of moving. He went from Liberty City, to over town, to where he did most of his growing up in Carol City. He nurtured his love for music and his hunger for being the best. Writing all day Stanley developed his own unique flow. Early on he was influenced by “Lil Wayne” and Tupac. His gangster lyrics began to have substance as he got older and learned more and seen more. At the age of 20, he got his first opportunity to record and began to work on a mix tape. He was waist deep in the project when the engineer computer crashed and lost all the music. This didn't stop him. He continued rapping and free styling every day. By the age of 23 he felt that it was time to take over the music industry. He then moved to Atlanta, Georgia which seems to be the Mecca of modern day Hip Hop. This is where he discovered the true meaning of a starving artist. All he truly had was a pen and pad. Over months of learning new techniques and perfecting his craft, he finally got the opportunity to get in the studio. Y.O.D.A immediately started to push out bangers like "Real Queens", "Get Cash", and "Every Night" just to name a few. His highly anticipated mixtape IRRATIONAL CONFIDENCE has recently been released, At the moment, Y.O.D.A. is working on videos for "Every Night" and preparing for his new project “8SideWays“.
