Rapper Young Fortune releases new single 'Young & Reckless'



The up and coming rapper from Baltimore known as Young Fortune has released his latest official single, “Young & Reckless.” The track has been proudly published on the Fortune Empire Records independent music label without the involvement of the corporate music industry. Classy, flashy, and bringing more boom-bap than much this season has had in store, “Young & Reckless” is a loud sign that Young Fortune is a name to watch in 2018 and beyond.

Young Fortune cites as main artistic influences Nas, 50 Cent, Jay Z, and Fabulous. His own sound takes the strongest elements of each of these, blends them into a new style, and adds his own embellishments for a result which will please fans of the old-school, the new underground movement, and everything in-between.

Asked to describe the general themes and aims of his latest single, Young Fortune replies only, “Better music.”

While “Young & Reckless” represents the most prominent release from Young Fortune in recent memory, it is far from his first appearance in hip hop.

I started out freestyling in siphers and smoking blunts,” writes Young Fortune. “We called it getting lifted. Then I began actually writing my lyrics. Also, I would hear beats in my head of oldies and beat box with my mouth and then hear used by Puffy or Master P.”

Young Fortune's current official bio describes what happened next with clarity:

“The music offered a freedom that couldn't be found elsewhere. It wasn't long before Young Fortune had discovered a passion and some hidden talents for making rap music. He then began releasing mixtapes to his peers, straight from the studio to the streets. It was even more rewarding do gain fans and people who appreciated his music. Young Fortune went back to school and got his GED and went to college to study Business Management & Administration.”

With his newfound knowledge, Fortune opened the doors of a new label, Fortune Empire Records (FER). His first success came in 2008 with a debut record, “Recession Proof.” Next came First Lady Jae's album, “Street Royalty New Millennium,” and a sequel, “Recession Proof 2 Diamond” (both 2013). They have since toured in the USA and continue to make music.

Young & Reckless” by Young Fortune from Fortune Empire Records is available online worldwide from over 600 quality music stores now.
