Biografía

Born in the notorious Bankhead Court housing project, Young Dro grew up the second oldest of his mother???s five boys and somewhere amongst the middle seven of his father???s 21 children. Although his mother did the best that she could to keep a roof over their heads, Young Dro spent much of his childhood drifting from one housing complex to the next. At the age of 16, he was shot in the stomach and the back and required almost a year to recover. Dro says of the incident ???I had to wear a bag for like a year... I was traumatized from that. I couldn???t laugh. I couldn???t walk or nothing???. He spent his late teens and early 20s in and out of jail. He has been writing raps since 9th grade. T.I. said of Dro, "I had been trying to sign Dro since like '97, before I was even trying to get a deal for myself. Anyone with ears can hear he got talent. He knows how to express himself. And while that may sound innocent, he???s also comfortable around killers. There???s something so human yet unsettling about that.". It was during these many moves in his teen years that he befriended the now Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist T.I.; neither of the two took music seriously at the time. Young Dro never considered a career in music until another one of his friends, Chris ???Daddy Mack??? Smith, scored platinum success as one half of early 90s duo Kris Kross. To make his dream a reality, hem first met pioneering southern rapper Raheem the Dream in the late 90s, who at the time had Pastor Troy and D4L front man Fabo signed to his local label. By the end of 2002, Young Dro's independent single ???Yes Sir??? and regional hit album "I Got That Dro" became fairly successful. Around the same time, T.I. was preparing for his debut album I'm Serious. While he was promoting the album during a radio interview, Young Dro called the station and asked to talk to the fellow rapper. ???I was like, ???T
