Meet Younce

Today we’d like to introduce you to Younce.

Hi Younce, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
As far as I can remember when I was a kid, I loved music. My grandma and family would always tell me how I used to sing when I was a baby. They would play all sorts of Spanish genres, like Spanish rock’n’roll, Regional Mexicano, and Cumbias, but my favorite was my Mexican music for sure, I even picked up a guitar for a little while, but never fully learned how to play because I was so impatient. Around late elementary, I was first introduced to Rap when I first listened to Gorillaz and I heard the MC on Clint Eastwood from then on the flow of rapping really intrigued me started listening to Dr. Dre, Eminem, Ice cube, and a bunch more I keep going for days. Eventually around high school. I met my good homie, Yung ED, he used to produce and drop songs, the homie dropped a diss track on our school and all the people that went to it. Around this time I would freestyle for fun with my homie, Lance whom I’ve known since kindergarten about this fine ass girl in our art class it was like funny raps, but It really had me thinking why don’t I ask Yung ED let me get on a song the first song I was ever on was called 666 and no I’m not a devil worshiper It was the grimiest teenage dirtbag song but at the time it sounded good to us. so we ran with it and we got some good feedback.

When I got out of high school, I lost focus on making music. All I was thinking about is how am I gonna get money? I started reselling clothes, and shoes, and I started working at warehouse jobs. Eventually, all that was in my head was this is gonna be your life from now on up until I traded a supreme bag for a microphone then I got back to it. One day we were kicking it at my boy Lance’s and we boxing his garage, and we start freestyling for old times’ sakes, and I don’t know if it was the loud but everything, we were saying was straight fire, eventually we were like why are we not at the studio right now, so the Homie hits up Trippy Moe and us in there the next week at a professional studio. This is really only the beginning, I am still making music, still, flying, and still making money FTR is the motto, all thanks to God.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has definitely not been a smooth road, everybody struggles in their own way, personally, my struggle has been my mental health. Certain situations have left big scars on me that I don’t know if I’ll struggle with forever or not.

All the bad situations just lead me to self-doubt in a way as well as thinking you can’t do it, because someone else thinks you can’t and even though you love them a lot they still doubt you, I think that was one thing that really got to me for so long but I’m slowly getting over that one, like f*ck the rest follow the riches but keep the ones that love you close always but know when snakes in the grass.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a lyricist a rapper a songwriter a certified bop maker a certified stogie roller that’s for sure if you know you know. The list goes on, I just like doing what I like, one day I could be bored and make a whole album cover another day. I could be like let’s get studio time.

I might go catch a tag here and there, just know I’m always rocking fresh fits, that’s the culture. But I do everything all while putting on for my people. That’s what I’m most proud of.

What matters most to you? Why?
What matters to me the most is my loved ones they make me feel like I’m not alone, I had people around me, who just made me feel like I was never heard or thought about and they were blood.

I had to move past that but I’m glad where I’m at now with my loved ones, I got loved ones that aren’t even blood and that means a lot to me. I have Homies that I have experienced more with than someone who is supposed to be my cousin, someone who is supposed to have a love for me because we blood. My loved ones are forever in my heart because of that.
