"Get To Know Young Tez"

Young Tez is debatably becoming one of the quickest uprising artists in the industry. Working his way through Chicago and Atlanta prospectively his style and personality are impeccable. His work ethic is out of this world, which got him songs with D Goodz (Nashville), Co-Still (Chicago), and Glasses Malone (Cali) that are soon to be released. His vision is consistenly growing as well as his regional and national buzz. DJ ERoC of Coast to Coast Mixtapes and Youngest DJs In Charge hosts Young Tez’s most recent mixtape embodies talent and carries weight that many respect! Very few aretist take their music serious enough to step outside of “the box” and experience or broaden their musical horizons unlike Young Tez.

What's the first thing you would say to someone when they ask you to describe yourself as an artist?
I am an untamed and creative artist that works harder than any artist that I’ve come across.

How long have you been in the industry?
I’ve been in the industry seriously since 2008. That is the year I opened up in a couple of cities with Chicago’s own Platinum recording artist, Twista, on his “Money to Blow Tour.” Then I started my own record label “We On Entertainment” the following year. I started off earlier just free-styling in high school, every chance I got; in the hallways, at the lunch table and even in gym class!

Do you have any projects out now?
My most recent project “Bye To The Locals”, released Halloween 2010, not only had a street presence but a digital distribution deal which evolved my buzz. Connected with New York's own DJ E-RoC of Coast to Coast Mixtapes and Youngest DJs in Charge! Check out the project at www.youngtez.com, along with a few videos from songs off the project. I have an EP and a couple of songs in the vault that will be released soon with Glasses Malone, Dee Goodz and a couple other artists.

What inspires your music?
My hometown Chicago and my second home Atlanta, have inspired my music. From the areas I grew up in to the people I hung with, all have had an effect on my music. I speak truth and give my fans something to relate their lives to.

Where are you from?
Chicago (Bellwood), IL – I spent lots of time in both the city and the wild suburbs of Chicago.

What artists in the industry inspire you the most today?
Lil Wayne, Wale, Tyga and (funny, but true) Nicki Minaj inspire me.

Why is that?
They are consistently working on their craft to better themselves and the people they surround themselves with. They are always on the road giving fans a great show. They also all are more than just artists, they are businessmen and women; which many artist lack.

What makes you different from other artist today?
One thing I know for sure that makes me different from other artists today is that I am a college graduate, Morehouse College at that. Additionally, I am always looking for ways to broaden my horizons and work with others I like. I also have a work ethic that is unstoppable, similar to the likes of Cash Money/Young Money’s Lil Wayne.

What do you want your future fans to know about you?
First and foremost I believe in and love God. Secondly, I’m in my own lane working hard for my fans. I love what I do because of my fans! I will continue to create music that I enjoy and that my fans appreciate! And last, but not least, if it was not for the fans, I wouldn’t be here! - Alwayz Therro Magazine
