YUNG JOC
Yung Joc was born Jasiel Robinson on April 2, 1983. He is an American rapper from College Park, Georgia. He learned about running his own business from his father who owned a hair-care products company. It was also his father who gave a teenage Yung Joc his first break, writing a jingle for the Revlon Company. He later he formed his own record label company, Mastermind with friend, Chino Dollar. He later hooked up with Russell "Block" Spencer and his Block Enterprises label and released the hard club track "It's Goin' Down" in early 2006. The track became an Atlanta favorite and eventually landed on the desk of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Spencer had already brought the group Boyz N da Hood to Diddy, and with Joc sounding like the very hot Young Jeezy and T.I., Diddy felt he had the right artist to take his fledgling Bad Boy South label to the top. Joc's full-length debut, “New Joc City,” became one of the first releases from this new team of labels in early 2006. The album was a huge success in the United States. His break-out song, "It's Goin' Down" made its way into America's top 5 and was an extremely heavily-downloaded tune on iTunes although it was critically-smited. Yung Joc is also featured on the song "Show Stopper" by Danity Kane.
