Recently there has been a revolution of trailblazing new artists in the hip hop game. One of these artists is rapper named Yung Dutchie. Born December 4, 1998; Dutchie came into this world with greatness in his spirit. No one knew it yet but je was destined to do big things through out his life. Born in Redlands, CA, young Dutchie would later move with his father at three years old. According to Dutchie, “my dad was the only suitable person for me to live with.” His father moved him from his family, 1500 miles away to Minnesota.
Life in a new state was somewhat rough for Dutchie as a child. Even tho he wasn’t accepted widely as a member of society yet, a few did recognize and see greatness within him! It was those people who helped forge a way for Dutchie to vent about his life thru a profoundly different sound ! 19 years later Dutchie moved back to California in order to peruse his dreams and career as a musician.
Dutchie lived in St. Paul Minnesota for a few years before his father moved him into a rural area know as St.Cloud. It was here where Dutchie created bonds with most of his friends. For elementary school Dutchie went to Oak Hill Elementary School, on the south side of St.Cloud. Instead of going to South Jr High School (the school closest to Oak Hill) he went to North JR High School. In 2010 Dutchies father moved him from the south side of St. Cloud into a house in the middle of Waite Park Mn. With a population of about 15,000 people at the time Dutchie became widely known in his community between sports ,community activities ,and numerous other extracurricular activities.
According to Dutchie, ”I tried to get out as much as possible because I never liked staying in the house, I was always trying to chill with friends or excel in life i guess I always was trying to find where I belonged.” After completeing middle school at North Jr High, Dutchie went on to graduating from Apollo Senior High School. After high school Dutchie started working at a local financial institution known as St. Cloud Federal Credit Union for about 6months. Dutchie states, ”I really liked and disliked the banking industry simply because-yeah it was cool having my insurance paid for, a safe and secure job in a nice local area where everyone knew my name; but what I felt was lacking was substance I felt like I didn’t mean anything yet.” It wasn’t until he got fired from his job that he realized that he had a gift in music.
During the time Dutchie got fired from his bank job he and his friends all started to rap in the closet of their one bedroom apartment. It wasn’t long after starting rapping when things in his life got crazy. When asked about these events, he claimed “that year was a learning lesson for me the day after my birthday in 2018 I lost my job, immediately three days after my car that at the time I had a loan on broke down completely. Me and a couple friends were selling weed at the time ,and we all got a place together. I didn’t know this but my homies had a play come thru for a “QP” and long story short I woke up to my brother Bobby having the best day of his life and an hour later when the guy came for the “QP” we were left with my brother in our arms rushing to the hospital.” “I watched my brother die “ Dutchie finished.
After this traumatizing incident Dutchie moved from Waite Park back into St. Cloud in his own house with the soon to be mother of his child. A few months in St. Cloud he then came up with a plan to move him, his baby’s mother, and his dog “Cookie” to California. It was at this time that he believed he had found his sound! About three years in California making connections, Dutchie is finally ready to let the world hear his sound.
Musically inspired by his family and friends, Dutchie is dropping a project series based on the good, the bad and untold life struggles of his life titled; SHAMELESS the EP Series 1, of 9 Volumes. For each volume; Dutchie will drop a Single defining his life and it will have the name of one of the characters from the Netflix series Shameless. You are invited to the Journey!
