Trillville’s Don P Introduces Yung Gunn of Alabama
November 6th, 2005 | By Administrator
Alabama isn?t quite considered a hub of the Hip-Hop industry, but Trillville?s Don P feels he?s found a lyricist to change the perception.
Yung Gunn, a rapper from Birmingham, Alabama, has joined forces with Don P?s Trill Villains and production team Track Boyz Ent. to represent for the burgeoning state. ?Ain?t nothing coming up out of [Alabama] if I ain?t got nothing to do with it. I?m the mouth of the south. The king of Alabama,? Gunn tells AllHipHop.com.
While Southern sentiments dominate Hip-Hop, Gunn promises to bring a new facet to the Rap game with his Birmingham roots.
?Alabama is bringing something new to the game. It?s not bringing the Houston sound, where it?s chopped and screwed or slow. It?s not bringing that ATL [Atlanta] crunk. We got a blend of everything,? he continues in a confident swagger.
Gunn considers himself to be a younger offshoot of other, now famously successful rap moguls like Sean ?Diddy? Combs, Jermaine ?J.D.? Dupri and Rap-A-Lot?s J. Prince.
?He reminds me of myself with I was that age,? J.Prince says to AllHipHop.
?I?m a hustler man. I just read Kevin Liles book [?Make It Happen: The Hip Hop Generation Guide to Success?] and I saw myself in it. I?m a young Kevin Liles, man,? the Birmingham resident prophesizes. ?Ain?t nobody f***ing with me.?
But, Yung Gunn?s bragging may be warranted. He was instrumental in Trillville?s management switch to Jimmy Henchmen?s Czar Entertainment, who also works artists like The Game, Sharissa and Mario Winans.
He maintains, ?S**t wasn?t being done right [with the old managers]. The marketing and promotion was wrong. You got to play a management role and not a homeboy. Don P is a brilliant producer, but his management evidently they didn?t understand that and they didn?t know how to market it, sell it or promote it. I hooked up with him and we clicked.?
Trilltown Mafia, Don P?s new act, recently inked a deal with Rap-A-Lot/Asylum and Gunn was instrumental in making the situation fruitful.
Gunn has aided others with their major label deals and now he hopes to find the right home for his own songs. He says the majors have taken notice and has a number of them interested.
Don P wouldn?t divulge the names of the attracted parties, but said that a signing was drawing near. Gunn said, ?Warner is family with Jim Jones. It?s all love. Rap-A-Lot. Universal and Motown. Everybody family. We can get money together.?
Yung Gunn has already opened shows for Baby and Cash Money, Lil? Jon and The Eastside Boyz and the Ying Yang Twins in addition to sings with R&B crooner Trey Songz. He has a mixtape slated for national release in the immediate future.
who the hell is this dude? not to rain on anybody’s parade. But i been in birmingham,al pretty much all my life. I never heard of yung gunn, not one song. How you gonna up and just say you the mouth of the south and the king of alabama when no one knows you? you got no radio or club play and no cd blazing the streets. I think this guy needs to back up his words before spitting something stupid like that. Bring us some hot shit and just maybe the people will believe you and follow u. But as for as now you unknown dogg, u are not the king. Birmingham J got mo rep than u and he ain’t the king either.
what the hell is wrong with this cat.king of bama, huh.i am GA and i know that them Dirty boys and Mr.Big put Alabama on the map.Who is Don P again? He is recuiting talent like he multiple platinum albums.This indivdiual will probaly be a one hit wonder.There is nothing wrong with being confident but there is with stupid.Before you start giving yourself titles, you should the lyricist already established.
dirty is the kingz of alabama easy
Man birmingham j be lighten it up in da ham this weekend, he all over especialy up in platinum, that place was goin off da reel
yo lets be real about this. Bham got Birmingham J, and a whole lotta other local groups. The only groups or people to make it big out of bama is Birmingham J, Dirty Boyz, Mr. Bigg , R.O.A, Red Light District, and last but not least MP da Wizard. Im sorry but when it comes to gangsta durte and mr.bigg is the best from bama but when it comes to freestyle/flowing/texas style holla at ya boy MP dat boy blowing up underground yet not even swisha house really got his name running round camp.
He done did tracks paul wall, mike jones, c.whiskey etc man besides RUBEN we doing thangs in the BAMA but aint not 1 person supporting a majority of these people. You know durte and bigg get love but none for these other groups and some of them are my personal friends.
You think im lyin come to the southside on a friday/saturday and see that dude with the huge H2 hummer “red” on 28″ inches and he is got his own record label and he suposedly owns BHAM and AL shesh aint nobody in BHAM riding harder than him or BAMA period. + he got his own record label. What bout that?
im from huntsville al, and i know mr.bigg, dirty and birmingham j are famous rappers from alabama also laponne(they did a song wit mike jones,look it up)n-e wayz he is a lame prolly some local joker the only reason nobody from al is a main stream artist like other people bordering our state is bcuz we busted down here we gotta hope n da car and drive to atl and other big cities looking 4 a deal cuz famous n####s dont come down here. all the talent is here in hville, bham, the gump, t-town anywhere black fokes at in alabama but nobody knows one day somebody will put “the big A” on the map but he aint no king get it straight. h-town my boi! not houtson, Huntsville get it str8 we riding on 28’s too yall know i be seeing yall out of town ni@@as at the black arts festival yall know wuts up hvile ride real bigg
Aint nobody in the HAM or Bama touching this cat SuperFli from Platinum Lix. Yall clowns talkin stupid about rims and clubs this cat run a conglomerate with several cities across the map on lock!!! East Coast, West Coast, Downsouth, and Midwest. Look at the big picture maine and stop thinkin so small.
theres no way in hell a no name like yung gunn is the ‘king of alabama’. i seriously doubt he better than mr bigg, bhamj, or the DEUCE KOMRADZ. i aint never heard no yung gunn playin on 957 jamz…
That bouy Superfli got the Ham on lock. He been underground for a while but when they finally give him some airplay watch out. He gone givem hell. I ain’t heard nobody flip it like him he like the Jay-Z of Platinum Lix. Righteous, If you think I’m jokin checkem out at: platinumlicksrecords.com
man young gunn do yo thang people gonna hate,but claimin u tha king of the south i dont knoe about that,wut about Derty and the other people that came out of Alabama
Im From The Eastside Of Bham And I Know A Lot Of Local Groups But When I Heard Yung Gunn I Thought About The Roc-A-Fella Kidz. For The People Thats Posting These Mean Ass Comments Yall Need To Stop. Thats Why People From Alabama Cant Go No Where Now Cause Yall Putting Folks Down. I Dont See Nobody From ATL Putting They Kin Folks Down. Everybody In The State Of Alabama Hate On Everybody Cause They Aint Going Nowhere. Black Folks Love To Bring People Down (I Am Black). Mexicans Dont Hate They Stick Together And I Think Thats What We Need To Do. And For The Smart Ass Folk READ. He Didnt Say King Of The South. He Said King Of Alabama. Aint Nobody Else Claiming It So Let Him Do What He Do. And For The Record 957 Jamz Dont Really Play Local Artist.Yall Them Lame Ass Niggaz Talking Shit. Yall Them BET Watching Kidz Thats Why Yall Dont Know Shit About Yall Own State Forreal. Shoutoutz To MP The Wizard,Trill Will,Cleeze,Big Gunt,Lil Pope,BYSWO,4z Company,B.A.Boys,Gator Boyz,Kentrail,Birmingham J,Rah,JMil,O.V Entertainment,C.I.A.Records And Everybody Else That Put The Ham/Alabama On The Map.

Yeah, Dirty Boys, Mr. Big, and Birmingham J put Da’ham on tha map but, if any underground artist comes out of the A(AL) it should be that boy MP (aka Mic Breaka of the Year)or 334 mobb. damn what was don p thinking. check MP at http://www.mp205.com

Da ham aint on the map you can say j, 334, mr bigg, and all these other dudes but outside of bama dont nobody really know’em. I put that on everythang righteous.
DON P SHOULD HAVE SIGNED YOUNG GUNZ AS A COMEDIAN AN NOT A RAPPER.I THINK YOU SHOULD APOLOGIGIZE BEFORE THE WHOLE ALABAMA TURN AGAINST YOU.REMEMBER YOUR CAREER IS ON THE LINE SO DON’T END UP BEING THE JARULE OF ALABAMA
ROA OPEN DOORS FOR ALABAMA TO GET IN THE RAP GAME.G BANG, READY FOR ANYTHING, BUSTED, NINA NINA, DEEP SHIT. ALL CLASSICS.
Actually, Alabama is much more than that…In addition to Birmingham J and Vensus(Kottage Boy Entertainment), others that have made it include Dirty (Rap-A-Lot), 334 M.O.B.B. (Def Jam), B.A. Boys (Real Records/Universal), Rich Boy (Interscope), Mr. Big and Lil Chappy. The truth is Alabama as a whole has supported artists from every region of this country (east coast, west coast, midwest, and the south) for decades as well as supporting artists within the state. So, to say is not taken seriously by others does make a lot of sense…Can somebody please explain ridiculous misconception? Regardless, Alabama fans will always support Hip Hop and be appreciative for Trivelle’s Don P providing YG with the opportunity to shine.
I don’t know who this guy Yung Gunn is, but if he has gotten a foot in the door, congrats homie. He could be the one that can finally put the state of Alabama on the map for real. This guy could be the one that get all of our talented rappers on the mainstream tip, because that is where the money is. Like one guy said in an earlier post, we need to stop hating on each other and lift each other up. You have to have a catch phrase to get poeple to even notice you. For the ones who know, look at Myron “MP DA Wizard” Parker(Mic Breaka of the Year). I can say his full name cause I know him personally. Donald “The Last Mr. Bigg aka Diamond Eye” Pears & Maurice “Rich Boy” Richards. I know both of them. Me and Rich Boy have been tight since 9th grade. Dirty, Deuce Komradz, Lil Burn One, 2 Tight, B Da Meezy, C-Nile the Frozen Child(This is who you need to look out for, especially when he get out of lockdown). Alabama can be bigger than Louisiana, ATL, or anywhere in the South if we can come together and get with someone who had their foot in the door. Not trying to downplay artists from the ATL, but if a song about “Bubble Gum” or “Do The Heisman” can get major pub, then dammit “Wipe Me Down” by Mr. Bigg, all of MP’s work, “Ridin and Smokin” by Deuce, and all of Dirty and C-Nile’s work should be all over the world. I remember how happy I was when I went to Daytona back in ‘02 and they were playing “Trial Time” and “Hoe Check” like it was brand new and he people out there were loving it. When I told them I was from Mobile and we had been rocking this, they were like “how can I get the whole CD?” That’s what we need to look at. While we are running to get Boosie and Jeezy(I get it too), we also need to be trying to cop our artist in state as well. Yung Gunn, you are in my prayers and I wish you much success and everyone PLEASE SUPPORT THESE ARTISTS LIKE I DO!!! 251 MOB TOWN FOR LIFE!!!

I’ve been in BAM all my life. born in B’ham. raised in b’ham n T-town. Never heard of Yung Gunn; however, he has a deal so I’m behind him all the way. Alabama needs its time in the sun. We been in the shadows too long. shout to MP, Kenny Thomas, M16, Sam Addams, Marco Mossberg, Birmingham J, Mane Milly, BDNC, 334 M.O.B.B., B.A. Boys, Larry G., Dirty, Mr. Bigg, and anybody else that got the drive to get this done wether you got fame or not. Notice you dont see BAMA niggas dissin each other. Everybody that has the potential knows they do and is working towards the same goal. niggas like Hustlin’ Friends. See the strength in numbers and got their game face on. It’s our time.
