Lil youngin : The Come Up

Lil Youngin: From Freestyle Circles to Finding His Voice

For Lil Youngin, music wasn’t something that started in the studio—it started in the hallways, cafeterias, and after-school hangouts. “It all started freestyling with friends,” he shares. “Me and my twin used to go back and forth with it, and he really pushed me to take it seriously.” That casual spark lit a fire that’s kept burning ever since.

Though he reps Charlotte, NC as his roots, it was the Bay Area that helped shape much of who he is today. The mix of southern grit and West Coast hustle is deeply present in his sound—a sound that, according to him, comes straight from the soul. “I don’t write too much,” Youngin admits. “My music comes from the heart, brain, and soul. It’s all about my passion for better living—or as my bro calls it, ‘lavish living.’”

For Lil Youngin, inspiration isn’t tied to a single artist or genre. It’s life itself. Every song is a chapter, a message, or a memory. He doesn’t just want to make music—he wants people to feel what he’s felt, understand what he’s lived through. “Growing up, I never had a voice,” he says. “Nobody ever heard me out. My story isn’t like anybody else’s. So now, I just want to be understood and heard.”

Like many underground artists, the journey hasn’t been easy. From lack of support, to inconsistent promotion, to the financial strain that comes with trying to build a brand from scratch—he’s faced it all. But he hasn’t let any of that stop him.

So what’s next for Lil Youngin?

“More music. More energy. More flexin’.”
