This project is more than just music for me, it is also a
gift to him that says I appreciate you, I still look up to
you and that with you, I wouldn’t be me.
Milwaukee rap artist, Young Deuces
is ½ of the group SNYD. The duo
has taken on the hip-hop scene
within their area where the genre is
rarely mentioned. Accomplishing
the goal of representing their city in
the rap game, SNYD (Young Deuces
and Burgie Streetz) has made
significant strides within the
industry as unsigned artists.
Now, Young Deuces continues his
part of the mission by releasing the
upcoming project, Son of a Soldier.
The album is his second solo studio
release and is using his rap skills to
pay tribute to his father, a veteran,
who also shared the love of writing
raps. In discovering his father's rap
book, which included his first rap
about Martin Luther King, Young
Dueces created a project executing
his style of hip hop while making
his father proud.
