Even as Yung Face grew up, he continuously appeared young for his age. He was the one on the corner that was known for his “baby” face, and so the name stuck with him. But as his artistic career developed, it was during the time when many took the forename “yung.” And being that he already appeared young, it only felt politically correct to make an addition to his title by placing “yung” in front of his baby “face.” However you might agree that his other alias may not fit the category of innocence. Face Belafonte and Face Daddy Kane? Those names bring out the “grown” & “sexy” in any man, right ladies? Creating different names in admiration of his two idols sounds intellectually and artistically smooth and upon further inspection of his character, the names suite him extremely well. Face’s music when compared to the Atlanta scene, has a smooth, down south, “feel good” vibe, and it caters to the ladies, making them want to let their hair down and dance. However, his style goes beyond the familiar dope boy and rock star music. In his words, “It's not that trend music everyone mimics.” His thought pattern consists of longevity, not a trend soon destine to wither out and die by the end of July. “Timeless, creative, and never the norm” are his goals when producing his singles. He understands the evolution of New York’s hip hop legends, the torch that so sweetly passed through its hands to the south, and its power and effects on society. “So when a region comes and takes an art form and dumb it down lyrically, and ups the beat, which is cosmetic, people get upset and people think a certain region is disrespecting the whole art form that’s been around for 30 years” Face states. He certainly wants to separate the real artists, the pioneers of the south whose music will be around eternally, from those that want instant fame and materialistic possessions by riding the band wagon. He’s simply stating its destructive influences. If ones take their music somewhere and get booed, that’s not a good sign. With that in mind, his advice to others in the industry is to “be original, find your own lane and don’t stick with the conventional methods. There’s not a blueprint on how to be a superstar. You have to make it your own.” - Flyer Promo Now
