Yung Joc

Yung Joc, born Jasiel Robinson, is a Grammy Award-nominated rapper, television personality, and radio host known for his contributions to Southern hip-hop and the Atlanta music scene. Robinson gained early business experience from his father, who owned a hair-care products company, and wrote a jingle for Revlon as a teenager. This entrepreneurial background influenced Robinson's decision to found his own label, Mastermind, before achieving national recognition.

The follow-up single, "I Know U See It," peaked at No. 17 on the Hot 100 and No. 2 on the Hot Rap Tracks. The commercial success of his debut established Robinson as a prominent figure in Southern hip-hop.

Robinson appeared on Forbes' "Richest Rappers List," ranking at No. 20 with gross earnings of approximately $10 million. His next album, "Hustlenomics," featured singles such as "Coffee Shop" with The-Dream and Gorilla Zoe, and "Bottle Poppin'" with Gorilla Zoe. Robinson is also recognized for his guest appearance on T-Pain's single "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His Grammy and BET Award nominations for "It's Goin' Down" highlight his influence in the hip-hop industry.

Robinson expanded his career into television as a main cast member on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." He has also established himself as a comedian and radio personality.
