YOUNG CO : BIOGRAPHY
"Young Co ain't a ho trill n***a,for the doe...BANG SQUAD." That's right. Get ready for dazzling lyrical acrobatics, stunning verbal versatility and fierce, driving beats featured on the highly anticipated FIRST solo release from hip hop artist YOUNG CO. "With this album, I was in a real zone creatively," says an enthusiastic Young Co about Early In The Game, "I was on chill mode making this album, I was like, 'Feed me beats!, and Terelle nodded.
The outcome of this creativity is a superb collection of tracks featuring Young Co's signature lyrical prowess and his ability to weave vivid tales of urban life with clarity, depth, and precision. Combined with multi-layered production from some of the industry's most cutting edge talent, EARLY IN THE GAME will surely be nodded at from the streets. In 2004, he burst on the music scene with an unshared quicksilver deliverance, lacing tracks with friends. But after witnessing a friend troubles with his personal life and scrambling for a deal himself, CO decided to take matter's into his own hands. So YOUNG CO formed BANG SQUAD ENTERTAINMENT in 2005 and the result: the luminous debut, EARLY IN THE GAME. EARLY IN THE GAME has spawned the single "What's Happening", which immediately transported YOUNG CO to establish himself in the lime-light of the rap game. "Gotta Get It" and "What's Hapening" quickly established YOUNG CO as one the most innovative and influential artists in hip-hop.
The first commercial single released from the disc, "What's Happening" with production credits going to producer extraordinaire, Terelle Davis. The collaboration proved to be an instant smash at radio and retail and re-established YOUNG CO as a lyrical genius.The new sounds and styles that this producer brought was a welcome challenge for YOUNG CO. "I can change up my flow depending on the beat," he says. "If it's hot, I'll rhyme over it. If you notice, I rhyme differently on each track."
The album also features artists D-MAC and Terelle Norris.
