24: Since we last spoke, you signed to Sean Kingston’s new Label “Time Is Money Ent.” so tell us how has the grind been since, because a lot up and coming artist seem to think that once the deal comes the work is over?
Young Twinn: I’ll start by saying life has been a blessing! I’m traveling to places all over the world and performing, I’m working with artist and producers that I’ve always been a fan of the lame DJ’s and industry people take me serious now! An unlike those who doubted me, my money is straight(lol). That’s just the positive side of things. On some real shit, I was in a 2 year relationship with a gorgeous Dominican woman and homie I was almost married! I’m a Trill nigga so I will keep it 1 milly. Due to my new life I ended up losing a lot of the old things most importantly people that I loved. You are forced to adapt in order for your career to go smooth. Some say when niggas get money, they forget who they really are where they came from. Most of the time this is true but in my case, those who slowed me down had to be cut off.
24: Personally, I think that you made the right choice by going with someone like Kingston because he understands how to make hit records which I think you have a natural talent for and not just local records that may strike a little buzz?
Young Twinn: True! Signing with Kingston has made me step up all across the board. Not just as an Artist but as a man. I’m going on 22 years old and he’s only 18. So it motivates me to see such a young nigga like him doing it that big! My grind doesn’t revolve around him though. Most of the time he’s off doing his own thing and the same goes for me. We are two completely different artist with a common goal which is to succeed!
24: Will you be dropping a mixtape or street album before the album?
Young Twinn: Hell yeah! If it wasn’t for the streets and mixtapes, there would be no me. So I gotta keep it trill and give the people something to snack on before the new year lol. Look out for Young Twinn & DJ Smallz presents “The Eviction” and another huge yet untitled mixtape coming soon!
24: Who are some of the people you have been working with so far for the album and who would you love to work with in the near future before the album is finished?
Young Twinn: Of course I have a few joints with Sean Kingston, the new single we are pushing at the moment is called “Billionaire” but the album and video version will feature Chris Brown singing the hook I wrote! I’m working with Soulja Boy and the S.O.D Camp, I just did a crazy record with Akon, also working with Dolla, Jibbs, and all of my usual suspects Inkredible, Mike Bangah, and M. Rell! I would like to work with Bun B, Weezy, Jeezy, T.I., Kanye West, Jay Z, T-Pain, DJ Khaled and all the chart toppers around the world. These artist bring out the best in a record. Its crazy but a song with one of these artist is always hit.
24: As far as the album goes what direction are you going for and what should the fans expect from it?
Young Twinn: My debut album is going to be a classic! I swear I won’t let you down. Its titled “Theme Music” and it will be just that. Every song will be “Your Song” or Something you can relate to. It’s Something for every one, Hip Hop, Pop, and R&B. I make feel good music. So expect a lot of up tempo production and tons of creativity.
24: Speaking of fans your Myspace following is pretty crazy! Not many get comments much less the type of response, traffic and fan signs you get so tell me why do you think they show so much love?
Young Twinn: I am a true Myspace junkie(lol). I feel the love is so insane because I cater to the people. It’s the small things we forget to say or do that can make a persons day. I run my own page and I holla at everyone daily! I respond to comments, tell people happy birthday, check out other aspiring artist and give them feedback, motivation and inspiration. Things like this keep people coming back to visit the profile and showing love.
24: Tell everyone what’s the new single so they can call up their local radio stations and help support that?
Young Twinn: right now be on the look out for my new single “Billionaire”! No more dimes, bad bitches, bust it babies etc. This joint is for all my ladies who are truly top shelf! This track is now playing on Myspace(lol).
24: I see you have been performing like crazy so is there any big shows coming up that you want to let the readers know about?
Young Twinn: Right now I’m really just working on my album and my new mixtape with DJ Smallz. But you can always catch me in a city near you! Stay tuned and look for me on a couple of tours.
24: What’s next for Young Twinn?
Young Twinn: single, video, single, video, album! Yep, in that order! I’m grinding hard. Got my clothing line “Fanagrophy” coming soon, future movie rolls, and I hear one of my joints could possibly be on the soundtrack to the new “Fast and The Furious” movie. I will continue to be all that I can be and putting out good music.
24: Any last words?
