Wesley Bailey, better known as Rapper YDD, is an independent artist and author from Mount Dora, Florida which is locally known as Slumpville. Music has always been a large part of Rapper YDD’s life and family. As a child, his mother listened to music while cleaning and played songs that would express how she was feeling during that time. This inspired Rapper YDD by showing him that music can change someone’s emotional state and he sought out to do that with his own music. Though he was always involved with music he did not get his start making it a career until 3 years ago due to his difficult upbringing. Growing up his father was a local drug kingpin and unfortunately ended up following that same path. This path ended up leading him to prison twice in his life. During his second stint in prison, he decided that he wanted to change his course and take music and writing seriously. During this time, he wrote his first urban novel’s “Slumpville” and “Slumpville 2” which detail the high life of the drug trade and the destruction that it ends up causing. After leaving prison with a new outlook on life he started writing his own music and is currently an independent artist. He works with a special selection of producers who know what he is looking for which include Vitillaz, Trinchez Da Producer, and Street Beats Atl. He has an exciting year ahead of him with the upcoming release of “Down in Florida” which features John Wicks, Kodak Black’s brother. He also has his most influential album in the making titled “JITT” which you will not want to miss.
