Yung $lick is an upcoming artist out of
Manassas, VA. He began his musical journey at the tender age of 6 when he first started singing in First African Methodist
Episcopal Church in Manassas, VA. “I always loved music ever since a young age”, says Timothy. “Music has
always been an outlet for me to express how I felt and I began getting deeper into it.” He began doing local events
as a teenager around the Northern Virginia area as a teenager and he wrote his first song at the age of 13. Now at age 24,
he has evolved into a singer, rapper, writer and performer. He first got a taste of the industry by linking with a rapper
named Illadelph Kash aka Illy. “Illy served as an mentor and big brother to me. He showed how to survive in this industry.”
He first debuted his performing at the Hip Hop Unleashed Showcase in Alexandria, VA. “I got a good response from the
people and it really inspired me to step up my game.” He is currently working on the mixtape, “The Alarm Clock”
and then the album, “The Walton Story”. “The mixtape is going to give the world an introduction of who Yung
$lick is and then the album is going to give people a more in depth closer look.” He will also be featured on various
projects from other local rappers such as Illy, Prince, M Burb the Captain, Bucky Dolla and acts from the label who took in
Yung $lick, Hood Money Music Ent. Which boasts names such as Boo, Bugz, Big G (703), Pac Man, A.V.E., Yung Ru and Dice. “I
really love the label and these guys have showed a lot of love to me.” The name Yung $lick honestly came as an impromptu
thing. “When I was in North Carolina, they never knew my name so they called me Slick. After a while, it just started
to catch on.” Yung $lick is on the path to bigger and better things and has set goals for his music career as well as
future business endeavors. “I want to put my city on the map because there is a lot of talent out here and to be in
the middle of it is very exciting. I also want to venture out into more work behind the scenes like producing and arranging
because I’m very versatile and I can do a lot of forms of music.” Northern Virginia is just the starting point.
“ I want to be known all over for creating good music and for inspiring people as well.”
