YUNG LISTEN WAS BORN WILLIAM QUENTIN JAMAR SMITH IN NEWARK NEW JERSEY TO WILLIE SMITH JR. AND CRYSTAL HUNTER. FOLLOWING THE DIVORCE OF HIS PARENTS AT AGE THREE LISTEN MOVED TO ARIZONA WHERE HE STAYED THROUGHOUT HIS HIGH SCHOOL YEARS. YUNG LISTEN LATER ATTENDED JACKSON STATE UNIVERSITY IN MISSISSIPPI FOR HIS FRESHMAN YEAR AND AFTER TRANSFERING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA HIS SOPHOMORE YEAR LISTEN LEFT SCHOOL TO MOVE TO CALIFORNIA AND BEGIN HIS LIFE AS AN ENTERTAINER! WITH A UNIQUE GIFT AND LOVE OF WORDS IT WAS ONLY NATURAL THAT YUNG LISTEN FOUND A HOME IN THE HIP HOP INDUSTRY. WITH SPURATIC SUCCESS ( RADIO AIR PLAY LOCAL SHOWS)YUNG LISTEN WAS WELL ON HIS WAY TO BECOMING A HOUSEHOLD NAME. UNFORTUNATELY LIKE MOST SUCCESS STORIES THERE WERE PATCHES OF TIME WHERE LISTEN LIVED FROM HIS CAR AND WONDERED WHERE HIS NEXT MEAL WOULD COME FROM. LISTEN REBOUNDED FROM THOSE ROUGH PATCHES AND IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED TO RELEASE HIS FIRST ALBUM AT THE END OF 07! WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS MUSIC AND STYLE YUNG LISTENED REPLIED, " I AM NOT A RAPPER I AM A LYRISIST WHO HAPPENS TO BE DEVOTED TO THE RESSURECTION OF THE HIP HOP INDUSTRY!" WELL WE ARE LOOKING FOWARD TO WHAT THIS 22 YEAR OLD CAN BRING TO THE GAME! IN SHORT WE ARE READY TO LISTEN!
