A New Era of Miami Rap



What's up? Yeah it's been a minute since the last article and interview has been posted. But I'm bringing you a new era of Miami Rap right now. Let me introduce to you Young Dred from Miami, FL fresh out of High School this year, this young man is going in this summer. Freshly dropping his new mix tape entitled "Shray Up" That means "Straight Up" No questions asked. Now if you are not familiar with Miami music then you don't know what this new era is bringing to the table. Follow me for a bit through this article.

Eighteen years of age and this young man could have been going to college in the following fall to play Football at whatever school. Instead this young man's destiny led him down the path of music. Normally I would tell a young cat like himself to continue his education. But he graduated and decided for himself that he was making the decision that would definitely transform his life forever. Young Dred is a rare self endorsed and motivated prodigy from the school of "I Rep Me" no questions need be asked. I appreciate that someone such as him can see their dreams as a reality and go for it. He has definitely surprised me with his mixtape. I expected the mixtape to be cliche toned with remnants of a Rick Ross flow or a Trick Daddy sound. I even thought he would lay out some Billy Blue or Briscoe on his tracks. However that's not what I heard. What I heard was a Young Dread sounding like Young Dread. What a breath of fresh air. 

While I was listening to Young Dred's mix tape "Shray Up" I found out he has a purpose for what he does. He has to express himself this way. I heard the sincerity in his words the flow of lyrics and I felt as though I was in the song with him. How is that? He pulled me in and I saw the picture. I was a part of the scene, my ears became my eyes and he directed the entire movie that was his mix tape. So yeah "Shray Up" that's my lil Homie and go download that.
