Today we’d like to introduce you to Beverly Thomas
Hi Beverly, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Yung B is a Seattle native muslim who spent many of her formative years in the South (particularly Atlanta and Virginia), which influenced her music greatly. She uses music as a way to express her feelings and to provide comfort to those that may have gone through similar experiences. B’s genre varies from rap to singing, and her lyrics come from personal experiences and stories from her own life. Beginning her musical journey in the fifth grade, Yung B went on to release her first single on her 15th birthday. Her biggest performance to date was opening for Bobby Valentino at the Seattle Center. Currently her most popular release is “Burnt Out” which sits at over 15k views. With much more content on the way, make sure to stay in tune with Yung B @yung_b400
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It hasn’t been a smooth road at all through out my journey there’s been some losses and griefs I lost 3 of my brudda’s Big OT , Silk , Reggie and that really pushed me back a lot I also lost my job due to racism it’s been a lot going on
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m very versatile and I believe that is what makes me different from all the artists and Seattle everybody sound the same everybody uses the same beat, but I can literally wrap on any beats that goes for a Lil Uzi Vert beat Gucci Mane beat or Khalifa beat. I mean it goes on and on. I would say my music is very melodic, but it can also just be straight rap and no singing I’m really proud of Not quitting despite everything that I’m going through and such a young age I’m proud of myself for being strong. I’m proud of myself for not trying to compete with others. I just stay in my own lane and I continue on my crafts. Music is my therapy.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
Definitely trying to do business with a lot of different people. I got a lot of bad luck with that and I honestly think it’s just the people I chose. They were really childish and not ready and I just I kinda just ignored all the red flags. There was also some good luck getting to know all these big different artists and the industry and they definitely gave me tips on how to basically survive in the rap game
