艺人介绍

年轻的Yung Joc来自亚特兰大，原名叫做Jasiel Robinson。在成长过程中受父亲影响最大的Yung Joc在小时候就非常喜爱Hip-Hop音乐并立志长大要做一名出色的Hip-Hop歌手，但他需要很长的时间来形成自己的风格。在家乡亚特兰大涌现出的多位说唱歌手当中，对Yung Joc影响最大的当属T.I.。和T.I.一样，Yung Joc也是OutKast组合的忠实歌迷。为了发行自己的唱片，Yung Joc成立了自己的公司Mastermind。

随后Yung Joc结识了拥有Block Enterprises厂牌的Russell "Block" Spencer并于2006年初发行了他个人的首支单曲《It's Goin' Down》。这支单曲在电台播出之后在亚特兰大当地异常受欢迎并很快就被人推荐给了“吹牛老爹”Sean "Diddy" Combs。在此之前，Russell "Block" Spencer就曾将Boyz N da Hood组合推荐给Sean "Diddy" Combs。由于Yung Joc与目前当红的Young Jeezy和T.I.风格相近，因此Sean "Diddy" Combs很清楚如果得到了Yung Joc，他新创办的Bad Boy South厂牌将会得到很大的收益。之后，Yung Joc与他的Mastermind厂牌连同Russell "Block" Spencer以及Spencer的Block Enterprises顺理成章的同Sean "Diddy" Combs的Bad Boy South厂牌签了约。

Rapper Yung Joc (born Jasiel Robinson) learned about running his own business from his father, who owned a hair-care products company. It was also his father who gave a teenage Yung Joc his first break, writing a jingle for the Revlon company. Joc decided right then that the hip-hop business was for him, but he needed time to find his own style. Watching the various hip-hop crews that grew out of his native Atlanta, Yung Joc didn't feel a kinship to any movement until the hard-edged T.I. came on the scene, although he was a big OutKast fan. Like T.I., Joc had begun rapping with the street in mind. To release this music, he formed his own company, Mastermind. He later hooked up with Russell "Block" Spencer and his Block Enterprises label and released the hard club track "It's Goin' Down" in early 2006. The track became an Atlanta favorite and eventually landed on the desk of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Spencer had already brought the group Boyz N da Hood to Diddy, and with Joc sounding like the very hot Young Jeezy and T.I., Diddy felt he had the right artist to take his fledgling Bad Boy South label to the top. Spencer inked a multi-million dollar deal with Bad Boy to sign Yung Joc and his label Mastermind along with Spencer's own Block Enterprises. Joc's full-length debut, New Joc City, became one of the first releases from this new team of labels in early 2006. A year later the "Coffee Shop" single preceded the full-length Hustlenomics.
