Yung Tone(Self Made A College Park Tale)




Im Yung Tone born and raised in Atlanta Ga (College Park to be exact). First off, a good challenge has always been something that excites me. As a youngin' I was forever into finding new music to listen to. My mom and grandad used to always play their old vinyls and I used to dance to them, so the music was in me at an early age. Further down the line I used to sneak into the music stores and get my favorite artist cd's and listen to them behind my moms back knowing they had profanity in them lol. As time progressed I built my own swag and before I knew it I was writing my own songs at age 11.

I would be lying to you if I told you that the journey was all GOOD. Anyone who knows anything about success will tell you that you have to go thruu all the bad just to get a small taste of the good. For the most part, its been everything I could have dreamed of and more.Growing up I listened to alot of T.I., Eminem, Bone Thug N Harmony, Ludacris, Jay Z, Michael Jackson, Nas, Outkast, 8Ball & MJG and Triple 6 mafia. Thats where you can alot of my musical influence came from.


I know for sure I play a major role on the audience who listens to my music, you can tell the huge influence I have on my generation just from this NO CUFFIN MOVEMENT. As big as Atlanta is, there's nowhere you can walk in ATL and not hear someone singing NO CUFFIN. Its the one ringtone thats in everybodys metro as if the phones came stocked with it already saved on it.


From that song alone I made the younger generation become comfortatble with being single,we made it cool!



There has always been different levels of rap since hip hop was created,you've always had your Hardcore rap, your lyricist, your commercial artist and the least lyrical artist. Its always been that way so I don't pay it much attention. I do feel that if you wanna be apart of hip hops upper echelon then you do have to be well rounded though. In order to have longevity in this business you have to be able to out grind all other artist, consistency is the key. I've worked with



Travis Porter, Gucci Mane, Future, Stuey Rock, Shawty Lo,


Rich Kidz, Montel Jordan!!! I'm always interested in working with other artist in the industry who share the same drive. I like to see how the work comes out with 2 or 3 elite artist on the same song.


I released 2 mixtapes this year so far. January 7th i released the first installment of the FREESTYLE FRENZY series. Freestyle Frenzy was a lyrical exercise i did where i released a brand new freestyle everyday of the month. Not only did I release the freestyle, I released a music video of the freestyle. So that was 30 FREESTYLE VIDEOS I dropped in the month of November 2010. I then took all the freestyles and linked with my


homie DJ 5150 and formulated the mixtape from the concept. The mixtape released January 7th, 2011. DOWNLOAD HERE: http://indy.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/12947/yung_tone_freestyle_frenzy.html
My most recent mixtape was a limited edition mixtape directed more towards the ladies. I titled it NO STRINGS ATTACHED to continue on with the NO CUFFIN MOVEMENT. It released May 5th 2011. DOWNLOAD HERE: http://indy.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/13786/yung_tone_no_strings_attached.html




Im all about music!!!



I shop more than anything. I dont like to box my style in when it comes to fashion. FRESH IS FRESH

Spotlight On:The New It Girl Jessica Burciaga

She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal. I first took notice of her when I saw the Jamie Foxx ft Drake "Fall For Your Type" video and to be honest I had to take a sceond glance because I really thought that she was JLO. It wasnt until recently when I actually found out who this stunning beauty is who looks like she could be Jennifer Lopez's little sister. Jessica Burciaga (born April 11, 1983) is an American model . Her father is Mexican and her mother is French and Irish . She was selected to be Playboy's February 2009 Playmate of the Month .   I think we are just starting to see the beginning of the beautiful Jessica, and that she has alot more in store......

Miami Turns It Up Another Notch — IG Boy Baddies: Then & Now (ft. Cloutio B)

IG BOY BADDIES — like Marcello Alvarez, Rico Hundo, Reek.Ivan, Deven Hubbard, Renzo Dinero, Don Benjamin a Chicago native who we worked with as well and a legit ton of others. From 2019’s Model Peak to a 2025 feed that feels anything but the same. In 2025, only a few still hit at model level — Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. Where have all our quality male baddies gone? UrbanInsiderMag: You came up inside that wave—2019’s model-grade Boy-Baddie peak to today’s crowded feed. In 2025, only a few still truly hit: Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. How does that land with you? Cloutio: It tracks. I started when IG felt scarce and intentional. Now the volume is higher, but there are still guys who keep it special. Ethan and ONE_RALPH have the discipline and the eye—that’s the bar. UrbanInsiderMag: Where have all our quality male baddies gone? Cloutio: A lot of people are posting; fewer are building. Quality takes intention—light, training, taste, pacing. The look didn’t disappear; the commitment...
