Derrick Kofi Abaitey (born June 6, 1990) is a Ghanaian rapper comonly known by his stage name Young Pac. He is currently working on his studio album "OBAA BOO YI" with another Ghanaian artist "Culchar" They are apparently in the same group called Vibe Squad. This group has so many other artists who will join later in the music industry. e.g. Piero, Ewochie, Lil Zee etc. Born in Akim-Oda in the Eastern Region of Ghana, Young Pac began singin at the age of of eight during the 90's, he made a couple of songs like "The Boy", since there was no one to produce him, he used it as a joking track. His mates loved that track so much, at the boarding school where he was styding, he sung this tracks to the house madams to get food, when he is hungry, and they had always made fun of him. At the age of thirteen, Young Pac joined a group called "The Gangsters Paradise" which included underground artists like Piero, Romeo and Virus, in the group they had a common master who helped them prepare their demo CDs called "Opemfour" he took them to a couple of talent shows, and claimed money out of it. At this stage of rapping there were also some competitive artists, so they had to make good tracks to get the fame from the school, but later they droped the music aspect, and concentrated on their studies. But as the talent is there music is still theirs, the group started again when Young Pac was fifteen. Well, they made a hit track about AIDS, since the show they had was about that "Maa Ne Mema". As kids they didn't have enough money to continue and had no help from other music producers.

Written by Young Pac At the age of 17, i played my tracks to my pap and he decieded to help me and my big brother (Culchar). We went to the studio for the first time in the UK, and had a chat with the engineer and settled everything, so now we are working on the first studio album.
