Young Tragedy AKA Luck Teezy AKA Royal T
It's ya man Young Tragedy!! Check out my music and let me kno whats good!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
When i was in the 4th grade, my mother bought the first ever Eminem cassette. It was the Slim Shady LP. I stole it from her and sat ion my room for hours listening to that shit. ever since then, rap and hip hop has had a major effect on my life. It's me, its what i do, what i feel, what i live for. Then in the 6th grade i remember 8 Mile came out and we all thought we were Eminem man, we would chill at recess kickin freestyles and havin rap battles. It was crazy. I started writin for real in the 6th or 7th grade tho, i really let my mind wonder around and i just became me. Junior year came aorund and J-Witt wanted to help me and my Cuzin start recordin our shit. We got a couple songs done, but with ther busy lifestyle he had goin, i decided it wasn't workin out. I bought my own mic, my own computer, my own Cool Edit Pro program, and ever since i've been tryin my best to make some quality music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not right now I don't, but I'm hopin to have my first performance at this years talent show, i figure what the hell, I'm a senior right.
