YOUNG DRO IN CONCERT:
Young Dro's drawling brand of southern hip hop has made him a celebrity in his hometown of Atlanta, with the rest of the nation falling into place as he continues to drop mixtape after mixtape — 13 to be precise — of his signature slowed-down, sly-eyed rap. High Times, his 2013 sophomore full-length, landed in the Top 10 on the Billboard Rap Albums chart, propelled by NSFW acronym/lead single FDB. With a string of club performances and showcases lined up, Young Dro is sure to carry his momentum into 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Hailing from the Bankhead neighborhood of Atlanta, Young Dro grew up steeped in the city's hip hop culture, witnessing the success of childhood friends like T.I. and Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith (one-half of Kris Kross) before making his own breakthrough with 2006 major label debut Best Thang Smokin'. Topping both the Top Rap Albums and the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums charts, the record resulted in No. 1 single "Shoulder Lean (feat. T.I.)," which went on to be certified double platinum by the RIAA. Between 2006 and 2013, Dro went on to release an impressive 13 mixtapes, thrilling fans in late 2013 with his much-anticipated second album High Times.
