From Shreveport, Louisiana comes YoungenBap, an artist who is ready to make his mark through raw honesty, energy, and self expression. You can find him on Instagram at @YoungenBap, where he shares his journey and growing passion for music with the world.
His love for music started back in middle school and carried through high school and beyond. For him, creating music is not just about the beats or the rhymes, it is about showing people what he has been through and giving them something to hold onto. He wants listeners to know that no matter how tough life gets, there is always a choice to become better and to succeed in any path you choose.
YoungenBap gravitates toward party beats, rap beats, and storytelling beats. His versatility also comes from the fact that he plays multiple instruments including guitar, electric guitar, piano, and ukulele. All of this was self taught, which reflects his dedication to constantly learning and pushing himself.
His influences run deep in Louisiana rap, with artists like MoneWayPeso and RealBleeda shaping his style. He admires their ability to rap about their real lives and experiences, and he connects with them not just because they are from the same state, but because their honesty inspired him to tell his own story through music.
That story is layered. He grew up facing a difficult childhood filled with mental abuse, police involvement, and years of trauma. Over time, things improved and his family grew stronger, and his circle of friends carried him through both the darkest and brightest days. As he grew into adulthood, music became the natural outlet. Rapping, listening to other artists, and promoting his skills became the foundation of what he wants to build.
YoungenBap has not released an album or EP yet, but he has dropped songs on YouTube and shared snippets of his rapping on Instagram. Those previews are only the beginning. His most memorable moments so far have come from sharing his music with friends and family and feeling the love and encouragement they give back, pushing him to grow both as an artist and as a person.
What’s Next
YoungenBap is working on multiple new projects that he is excited to share with the world. While there are no upcoming performances yet, he already has music ready to release for his fans and listeners. With his determination, his story, and his sound, YoungenBap is ready to show people what Shreveport has to offer.
