 The 22 year-old Chicago born rapper is not just a rapper, as head of his own label, Yung Boss Music Group, he produces and writes as well.  In a recent interview he said, "I've started my own movement, I'm just focused on branding my own empire instead of focusing on what someone did before me."  "I don't know nobody that's signed to their own label," he said. "Twenty-two years old and producing their own records with their tight buddies and [has] millions of downloads."

 Yung Berg's album 'Look What You Made Me Do" will be in stores August 12th and his first single 'The Business', features his first Yung Boss signee, Casha.
