In an era of hip hop dominated by dope boy music, Young R brings a breath of fresh air to the game. Born in Macon, GA, he devoloped a love and appreciation for his yet-to-be-respected city early on. Once he graduated from high school, his first mixtape, “Rough Draft Vol. 1”, was released, placing him instantly at the forefront of Middle GA's music scene. His sophmore release, "Rough Draft Vol. 2", independently sold over 2,500 copies, setting the stage and giving him the exposure for what was yet to happen with his next upcoming single, "Anotha Planet".“Anotha Planet” would spark millions of Myspace plays and Youtube Views, thousands of digital downloads and a business negotiation with Jive Records which would cause a verse from multi-platinum artist Lil-Wayne to be recorded for the song. Far from being a dummy, Young R is a recent Engineering school graduate with a bachelors in Industrial Management to fall back on. After the success of his most recent mixtape, "I Love Money" (which you can preview below after the jump), Young R is currently working on his senior mixtape, "Rough Draft, Vol. III". As seen on the "Rough Draft, Vol. III" cover, Young R is determined to live up to his motto, “nice guys don’t finish last”!
