New Music From Chris Young

Chris Young the Rapper, Bananabeat Record’s premiere artist, just released a new single from his upcoming mixtape Value Pack 2: Cream and Sugar called "Party Animals (Produced by Les Professionnels)" via his bandcamp in anticipation of his full release of VP2 on April 1st, 2011.





This single is the follow-up to his flight facilities remix entitled, "The Crave" as well as "Postin' Wescoastin" which appeared just a couple weeks after the anticipated release of his music video "Stop" with director Carlos Charles Perez.
When asked about the new sound of Value Pack 2, Chris Young states, "The cream half is just pure classic hip-hop, leaving right off the 1991 time machine and leading us to the sugar.  The sugar is that electronica, electro.... dubstep samples of "The Little Mermaid" and we even put a song from my debut album in the concoction. This isn't my year, this is my decade."
Chris Young The Rapper is a performer, producer, and songwriter born on July 30th, 1989 in Norfolk,VA and then moved to San Diego, CA at the age of 4 where he was raised.  Young’s love for music took off when he visited family in Camden, NJ during the winter of 2001.  His DJ uncle spun tracks by the likes of Run DMC, LL Cool J, Jay Z, and T.I., which intrigued Young to test freestyle rapping for the first time.  The artform of freestyling came naturally and birthed a serious desire to make incredible music.
After a semester at the University of Arizona as a Philosophy major, Young decided instead to pursue his musical calling. He caught a ride to Los Angeles during the summer of 2008 with the vision of launching his hip hop career.  With no money or a place to stay, a determined Young began booking his own shows, making his presence felt almost immediately.  In September 2008, Young opened for Shwayze and Cisco Adler at the Rialto Theatre, in Tucson, AZ. Adler was blown away by Young’s impressive rapping skills and took him on a cross country tour with Shwayze, Tabi Bonney, Mickey Avalon, and more.
Chris released his project, Mood Swing EP, as a free download in April 2009 to critical acclaim.  In August of that same year, Young signed to Cisco Adler’s Bananabeat Records, becoming the label’s premier artist.  In January 2010, he released his mixtape 619 with Adler producing the opening single, “Stadium Rap.” Repping San Diego’s area code, he then released his series, Valuepack, contributed four songs to music man Adler’s epic 23-track mixtape, SUPERCALIFORNIALIPSTICKSEXYMAGICDOPESHIT, collaborating with Cobra Starship in the process.  In October 2010, he released his 1991 EP with features from westcoast legend Del The Funky Homosapien and WAX, full of clever lyrics and killer Cisco Adler beats which showed his love for the culture he had began to make an impact.
