Originally born in Baytown, Texas, but now based in San Francisco, YCN JC (@ycnjc2.0) is an aspiring hip hop artist with two released EPs and nine additional singles. Growing up, he had always watched his older cousins freestyle which inspired him to pursue his career in music. At 19 years old, he released his first EP called Young City Bandits, which hit 10,000 streams on Apple music and 8,000 plays on Spotify. Besides making music, he loves to stream games on twitch like NBA 2k22, Madden, and Call of Duty. We asked him a couple of questions about his musical journey thus far and this is what he had to say:
“What would you say is your greatest strength as an artist/ or what is it about you as a musician or in your music that separates you from the rest of the other musicians?”
“I feel like I am on a different wave because the type of music I make is unique…I have different melodies, different flows however I am still perfecting my craft.”
“Where do you see your musical career in 5 years?”
“I see myself becoming mainstream, having more tours/shows, performing at Rolling Loud, and going international.”
“If given the opportunity, which artist/musician would you like to collaborate with?”
“My top 3 artists that I would want to work with would be Drake, Lil Baby, and Lil Durk. I feel like we make similar music and after a couple sessions I think we would work very well.”
