Yung Punch
The Hip-Hop industry is no longer a place a one dimensional artist who cant wear the business hat. Rappers are just as mainstream as anyone else when it comes to the advertising & business world. Enter the next generation of Brooklyn Hip-Hop Entrepreneurs and you will come across Yung Punch.
The same projects Jay-Z paid cautionary homage to on the classic Where Im From, is where Yung Punch initially did his thing as young boy. At 11 years old he became known in his hood for his punchlines. Eventually people started calling him Punchlines. A decade later, Yung Punch has refined his craft, shortened his name, and has armed himself with a barrage of songs intended for all listeners. Standout tracks include the street heater Wavin da .44 and the club blazer Bottles Up yet Punch is extremely versatile as his music is reflective of his experiences in NYC coming up in Bedford Stuyvesant.
Punchs full-length debut, Comin Sometime Soon is destined to build off the momentum of his previous 5 mixtapes and street DVD all of which were Executive Produced by Yung Punch and business partner Luduh. He claims Hip-Hop Godfather Russell Simmons and superb mc/business icon Jay-Z as his biggest inspirations while he stakes his claim as the next best business mind with punchlines.
