LO1: Draft articles

'Levelling Up'

After releasing his debut single, Yung Shayi has gained worldwide attention from other artists and rappers and has been described as an 'up and coming young talent in the hip-hop business'. This is only his second year in the game, but it's proving to be his most successful yet.

At only 17 years of age, Yung Shayi has proven himself to be someone to watch out for this year. Since releasing his 4 track EP in January titled 'Watch Out', he has been a name to be reckoned with across the hip-hop game. So far the EP has been played on his Soundcloud page over 200,000 times alone.

I turned up at Shayi's studio with the expectations of crew members, and friends, but to my surprise it was him himself who let me through the door and what shocked me even further was the fact that it was only him and I in the room. We sat down on a couple of leather recliner chairs next to his setup and got talking. I first of all jokily asked him where all his other crew was, "It's just me, I am Yung Shayi. Nobody else is part of what I do. Of course I have my friends and brothers that come along to the studio from time to time, but what I produce is all done by me. I don't have no crew, no security, no publicists, no promoters, no nothin', just my mac, my studio and me".
