Yung Maze (rapper)
Carlos Collins (born May 15, 1990), better known by his stage name "Yung Maze", is an American hip hop artist from Opelousas, Louisiana. He began rapping at age 9 where he performed in talent shows and playground rap battles. As a member of the eagle/gifted program it helped to broaden his horizon and was his first indication that he was different from the rest of his peers. His early inspiration was gained from rapper Lil' Wayne as he wrote his own version to each of the tracks of the Carter album. In junior high school he flourished as he began battle rapping and joined a local rap group. In the group his strongly recognizable presence stood out greatly among the members, so he decided to grow independently. Yung Maze began making his mark across Louisiana with hit singles like, “All Up On My Polo” and “Make 'Em Hate” featuring Kevin Gates. These songs showcase his versatility and God-given ability. All his life he favored a lyrical style of rapping and adored punchlines and metaphors but he knew fans would appreciate more substance while still holding true to his amazing delivery. Now at age 23, Yung Maze currently gains his inspiration from artist Lil' Wayne, Drake, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, and The Weeknd.
