"These niggas out playin a gangstas role I keep
it real, this is gangsta soul"
In a world full of fake artists and MC's that have never even held a gun enter Sinatra
(a.k.a Sinatra Young) Born June 21st,1982 in Wichita, Kansas during Hip Hop's Golden era, Young was born into poverty
and when his father left his mother during the years a son needs his father most, he turned to Hip Hop music as a father figure.
Citing Big Daddy Kane, Ice Cube, Nas, Jay Biggie and Pac as his main influences Sinatra studied the greats with an acedemic-like
furvor and soon throught the school district it was soon known that he was THAT dude.
"I know what happens when the glocks pop, nigga I'ma rhyme 'til
the death I was rappin when I got Shot"
It seems like in today's rap climate getting shot, being locked up and selling
drugs is part of your record deal, but Sinatra maintains that those perils are indeed his reality " I mean I done got popped, been locked and sold rocks, but I dont glorify that Im like a journalist
reporting live from the hood I would like to think that after awhile America would get tired of hearing us rappers talk about
hood life and do somethin' to change shit but if they don't I'll still be in hood livin' it and making money talkin' about
livin' it G."
"Raiders Cap, Black Tee, Glistening gold chain only nigga in the
hood listenin' to Coldplay"
Talking to Young one would think he was college educated with M.B.As out the wazzoo but he insists that is definitely not
the case. "I
barely got a G.E.D but what few people know about me is that I started reading at 3 years old man, and not like Dr Seuss or
anything like that i mean the newspaper and Time magazine. so i guess that gives me a little edge on these rappers who pronounce
the Aston Martin Vanquish as the Van-Jewish but its all love"
Indeed he speaks with wisdom and maturity way beyond his 23 years. Sinatra
indicates that when its all said and done he just wants to be crowned "King of the Midwest". " No disrespect to the ones that came before me such as Crucial Conflict, Bone Thugs, Twista,
Nelly, Common, and Eminem, but I've never heard any of them claim the throne the only one i've heard say I'm the king is Chingy
and if he wants to do that I got somethin' for him
