Your latest project that you are working on, how did you get hooked up with DJ Elementz from Allpro DJ’s?

Well actually, I first heard about DJ Elementz at an Orlando nightclub where I later discovered was part of the AllPro movement. We linked up and told him about the project that I was working on and asked if he and Prosytle would like to be part of it. DJ Elementz believed in me and my music and decided to work with me.

It has been said that art imitates life; do you feel that your music imitates your life?

Of course I feel my music imitates my life. I believe music is and should be a reflection of every artist's life. For me, I put my all into my music and reflect on my past, the different situations I've been in and of course the good times.

Out of all the songs you have dropped, what song best represents Young B.?

Hands down it has to be "Street Dreams" off my third mix tape, "Eastside Story 2" because it’s based off me growing up from the person I use to be, to the person I am working to become to putting me and my peoples in a better situation. So I defi-nitely have to go with that one.

Out of the producers that you have worked with, who would you say has been the most supportive of your work?

Out of everybody I would have to say my producer Dred, We have known each other ever since high school. We have been through a lot together; he has given me a lot of advice over the past couple of years and has been the one to give that guidance.

What is it about your music that you want people to know about you?

I would say my creativeness and energy that I put into every song and in every aspect of my music. Once you hear the music, it will definitely speak for itself.

Within the industry it has been said that “Orlando” entertainers don’t want to help each other. Do you feel this is a true statement?

Nah, I definitely don’t believe that. As you know Orlando has a big market for up and coming artists, so I see a lot of col-laboration among us. As far as nightlife in Orlando, the Runners are here, DJ Nasty is here, Prostyle is here, this city in on the rise and I definitely don’t see a division in Orlando.

FLYERPROMONOW presents

What are some of the venues that your fans can come check you out? Any tours lined up?

No tours lined up as of yet, but I am having an album release party April 2010 in Jacksonville, FL at Bourbon Street nightclub. You can defi-nitely catch me there it’s gone be a movie all the appearances I’m setting up. For more details you can go to my MySpace page for an address, and con-tact information.

I see that you have collaborated with several well known artists here in Orlando; outside of yourself who would you say has the most talent?

Lol. Everybody is doing their thing. I listen to every-body's music real talk, but I’m mostly riding to Wes Fif, he got a couple mix tapes out that’s on point. I can’t lie it seems like he stay working because every other month he got something new dropping and that’s my kind of grind…so I feel that.

What do you think is the most important thing that any local artist should do to enhance their career?

Definitely the most important thing a local artist should do is invest money in themselves. Don’t hesitate to go all out. Always make sure everything is top of the line and have the ability to network with people that can elevate your career to a higher level such as DJ's, radio personality, etc…
