April 2006 was the first time that dubcnn readers we’re exposed to a talented youngster by the name of Yung Walt, the Inglewood High graduate who swiftly opted for a career in music. Initial criticism by those close to him of that decision soon turned to delight as Yung Walt hopped on a hit single with Snoop Dogg for the “Welcome To Tha Church Tha Album” [“Shake Dat Sh-t”] a cut he wrote lyrics and performed the hook for.
Since then he was been busy working with various producers such as; Battlecat, Terrace Martin, 1500 and Chordz.
He released the solo album which we showcased music from called “Hustle 2 Struggle” under the independent label “Ghetto Child ENT” run by himself and partners Bubba and Mac Jackson – successfully selling over 3,000 units in L.A.
Over the past few months he has been working on a new mixtape to showcase his latest material to the world aptly titled; “The Presentation” [Hosted by: DJ Qwess] – where better he thought than to allow dubcnn.com to “Present” the mixtape to world as a Free download! We took some time with Yung Walt to find out what he thought of the mixtape: “I feel this mixtape is more like an album just because of the topics I’m on yet although im still lyrically going bananas – I’m just warming up!
He went on to explain how he feels about his position right now; “I feel i am the underground King of L.A. yet still I’m not the only one…we’re all Kings its just I’m working to be one of the most mentioned.”
When asked what he feels is the track on the mixtape that he enjoyed making and has become a favourite he told dubcnn: “My favorite song is ‘Write My Wrongs’ where I get political over the Lupe Fiasco ‘Kick Push’ track.” – dont take his word for it, sample that and other tracks in the tracklist and look further down for the exclusive full mixtape download courtesy of Yung Walt and dubcnn.com. This is one not to be missed, shouts to Yung Walt & Ghetto Child ENT.
