YVNG KX$$ is a rapper and hip-hop artist, coming out of Memphis, Tennessee. He credits his childhood for giving him the go-getter attitude that has powered him through his art.
“Growing up In Memphis I felt like I never had enough like there was always more to gain. I always try to stay with this mindset.”
He uses this resilience and his hunger for more, to grow as an artist, and reach new heights, aware of the dangers of getting too comfortable where you are, and not pursuing growth. It’s a message he carries in his own life, but also hopes to inspire to others, through his music. Because of his empowering, larger-than-life qualities, YVNG KX$$ has great potential of becoming not just a successful artist, but a cultural icon.
Through his music, he hopes to make a name, not only for himself, but also for his city, and shine a light on the entire rap scene in Memphis. YVNG KX$$ feels a strong connection with his hometown and has even written songs inspired by it. His recent hit single, “We Don’t Bluff” was inspired by his love for the Memphis 901 FC, and the Grizzlies NBA.
The song has also recently gotten a remix, including a feature from fellow rap artist Duke Deuce. Other noteworthy collaborations include Darryl Dutch Jones of 5 Star and Quentin Brown from QB Productions.
On a more personal level, he credits his mother for being his rock, and a constant source of support, no matter how rocky the going got. Musically, he is constantly inspired by the artists he works with. A huge encouragement was collaborating with fellow artist Young Dolph, whom he credits with inspiring him to start making music.
YVNG KX$$’s current goals include growing as an artist, and developing his fanbase while staying true to his overarching message - that there is always room for better.
