Yung Walt: An Artist On The Rise...Quickly - April 20, 2006 By : mrtonguetwista
(http://www.dubcnm.com/artistimages/yung_walt01.jpg)
You will be forgiven for wondering when you first download these tracks from newcomer Yung Walt if we have presented something other than Hip-Hop, the track "Playboy" although starting with "I know you gonna dig this" presents a soulful sound with a light tempo that may surprise you - if not then "Dreams" surely will; with its light 'keys' intro that lulls you into the song with its melodic feel and unbelievable catchy hook...you'll soon be wondering when you hear the tracks if we have stumbled across something a little special with this artist.
So who is the person behind Yung Walt?
Well the goverment know him as Walter Gaines but the neighbourhood know him by his music. Graduating from Inglewood High in 2002 after swapping and changing schools he opted to head towards a career in hip-hop. When he turned 17 he looked at his life thus far and began to think that this was his calling.
Having spent most of his youth being the "Man of the House" for his mother and sister he wants to show and prove through words and rhymes and after dropping out of college in 2003, a decision he was criticsed for, he has achieved great things including landing a hit single with Snoop Dogg on the "Welcome To Tha Church Tha Album" release on the track "Shake Dat Sh-t," where he wrote and performed lyrics for the hook. He has since worked with various producers such as; Battlecat, Terrace Martin, 1500 and Chordz. He has recorded a solo album which is titled "Hustle 2 Struggle" under the independent label "Ghetto Child ENT" run by himself and partners Bubba and Mac Jackson. Due to the extensive street buzz and credibility created in California along with the street team and own promoters, the album has managed to sell over 3,000 copies in Los Angeles alone since January 2006.
This is not an artist to be ignored; raw talent is rare and when portrayed correctly a pleasure to see and hear - check out the music below and pick up a copy of Snoop Dogg's "Welcome To The Church Tha Album" to see him credited - shouts to Snoop for getting Yung Walt on the project.
