Yung Prince

At the age of thirteen, Madison, Wisconsin native Yung Prince resolved to pursue music as his livelihood. That same year he began cutting tracks inside his personal home studio. By 2006 his routine had reached one new song daily, with the strongest selections held for the independently issued X-UP Records Mixtape, Vol. 1 that arrived the following year. In 2009 the sixteen-year-old rapper disclosed that sessions had started on his first album, then known only by the working title Behind All the Smoke.
