WHEN NBA SCOUTS GET READY TO DRAFT THE NEXT BIG SUPER STAR, THEY LOOK AT PLAYER STATS HIS SENIOR YEAR
WHEN NBA SCOUTS GET READY TO DRAFT THE NEXT BIG SUPER STAR, THEY LOOK AT PLAYER STATS HIS SENIOR YEAR, THE PLAYER ATTRIBUTES AND STRENGTHS. MAKING SURE THEY ARE FULLY CAPALBLE FOR THE NEXT LEVEL. IF YOU WERE TO PUT THE ATLANTA BORN RAPPER YUNG BOOKE ON THE DRAFT LIST, HE WOULDN’T BE ON IT FOR LONG…
FORTUNATLY FOR LEBRON, YUNG BOOKE AKA “FLYA” CANT DO A 360 DUNK. BUT THE KID CAN WRITE A 16 BAR VERSE TO MAKE THE WHOLE LOCKER ROOM CHANT BEFORE GAME TIME. IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TO ONE OF HIS HIGH IMPACT SHOWS IN ATLANTA, GA, IT’ S A SIGHT TO SEE. THE KID GETS BUSY!!! IT’S HARD NOT TO RECOGNIZE YUNG BOOKE AND HIS “SMASHGANG” CREW WHEN THEY WALK IN THE BUILDING. YOU WOULD THINK “NWA” OR “BMF” WAS BACK. NO, IT’S A SLIM KID WHO REPS ATLANTA ZONE 3 PROJECTS “CAPITOL HOMES”. THIS IS SAID TO BE THE STUMING GROUNDS THAT YOU BETTER HAD PERMISSION TO WALK ON, IN THE LATE 80’S TO EARLY 90’S. YUNG BOOKE’S FATHER WHO GOES BY THE NAME OF “BOOKIE BALL” SHOWED HIS SON THE ROPES AND SURVIVAL TACTICS. LIKE EVERY OTHER KID FROM THE HOOD, SPORTS WAS AN OUTLET FOR YUNG BOOKE. AFTER REALIZING HIS HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL TEAM DIDN’T HAVE WHAT IT TOOK TO GO TO A CHAMPIONSHIP, YUNG BOOKE DECIDED TO RUN WITH A SQUAD THAT WOULD WIN! AFTER LOCAL MANAGER (SKAT) HEARD ABOUT HIM, THE SAME PERSON WHO FOUND “YOLA DA GREAT”, SKAT SUGGESTED HE START HIS OWN TEAM. YUNG BOOKE IMMEDIATLY STARTED HIS MONEY SAVAGE/ SMASH GANG MOVEMENT WITH DEAR FRIEND “FREAKY”. WITH THE RELEASE OF YUNG BOOKE ATLANTA SMASH “PEION”, YUNG BOOKE BEGAN TO REALLY START FOCUSING ON HIS TALENT. AND CLUB PROMOTERS STARTED CASHING IN AS WELL. YUNG BOOKE JOINED FORCES WITH SELFMADE ENT AND RELEASED HIS MIXTAPE “AIRBOURNE ACADEMY”. THIS SHOWED THE CITY WHY THEY ARE STANDING BEHIND HIM. WITH AN EXPLOSION OF VIEWS ON YOU TUBE, YUNG BOOKE WAS INVITED TO ROCK HOT 107.9 BIRTHDAY BASH STAGE WITH THE GRAND HUSTLE GROUP “RICH KIDS”. IT WAS SURE TO SEE THAT A STAR WAS BORN. YUNG BOOKE KEPT HIS BALL ROLLING AS HE STARTED GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND GOING TO SPEAK AND PERFORM AT ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS. SHOWING THAT HE’S NOT TOO GOOD TO SMASH A PEP RALLY AND SIGN SOME AUTOGRAPHS.
YUNG BOOKE HAD TO QUICKLY LEARN THE GRIND OF THE BUSINESS AS HE ENDURED LATE NIGHT STUDIO SESSIONS AND EARLY A.M. PHOTO SHOOTS OR INTERVIEWS. BUT TO SEE HIS FANS REACTION WHEN HE’S ON STAGE IS WELL WORTH IT, SAYS THE SINGLE ATL BACHELOR. LADIES TAKE NOTE, THIS TRENDY HIGH END APPAREL DRESSER LOVES TO INDULGE IN CONVERSATION, BUT HE GIVES HIS EVERYTHING TO HIS NEW QUEEN. HIS DAUGHTER “KENNEDY” BORN 2010.
AS WE FAST FORWARD INTO THE PRESENT. YUNG BOOKE IS RECORDING DAILY AND WORKING ON HIS NEW ALBUM AND CONSTANTLY ROCKING ATL NITE CLUBS. HE IS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THAT PHONE TO RING FROM THE MAJORS. YEP STILL INDEPENDENT THE “SELFMADE ENT” CAMP HOLDS IT DOWN WITH OUT ANY MAJOR DISTRIBUTION. SELFMADE ENT CEO JAMIN WHATLEY SAYS “I SEEN A LOT OF ATLANTA ARTISTS COME AND GO, BUT YUNG BOOKE IS THE FUTURE OF ATLANTA HIP HOP”. SO AS YOU SOON SEE WHAT THE STREETS ARE BUZZIN ABOUT THIS BLUE CHIP PLAYER. STAY TUNED AND WATCH HISTORY MADE AS YUNG BOOKE WOULD SAY, “KNOW THAT OR STAY STUPID….. IT’S FLYA”.
