Yung Papi a.k.a. YP- Born Jerome Curry-July 24, 1986 in Centreville, Ill. I started rap'n in 1998 when I was living in St. Louis, Mo. At the time my rap name was Mista, and I was kill'n every track that was put in my path. I was rap'n with my brothers L.A. the player,and Terrence A.K.A. Touchdown with Calameno Entertainment. After 2 mixtapes in 2000- I started producing my own tracks, and I began writing my 1st solo album. My brother L.A. the player was my biggest influence on music and writing, I had no choice but to come hard. I click'd up with alot of STL rappers and producers: Six, Da 4 Horsemen, Joka out da deck ( Flip at the time), Snake eyez, King Blaze, Alpine, Promise, Gena, Yung Onny V., Da Banggaz314, and Beast Mode just to name a few.
