Young Taboo is an upcoming artist from Compton, California who has a unique, versatile sound with a story to tell along with it. The rapper recently dropped his latest single “Lil Sum” which is a fun track that emphasizes a light tone and party energy. Young Taboo’s diverse approach in his craft is what makes him a promising artist to watch out for as breaks into the music scene.
“I think I have a diverse style. I can go from the struggle and pain to making a club banger to making something for the ladies.” Young Taboo expressed in a recent interview. “The single is about throwing something at the club, party, or wherever you at. Cash, girls, just having fun.”
Young Taboo has a strong influence on why he started making music. As he first decided to pursue his rap career after his father died in 2018, the artist expressed how making music helped him ease the pain. As he turned a pivotal moment in his life into a positive one, Taboo found a way to release his emotions through his work.
“I’m passionate about music because it’s my outlet,” Young Taboo stated. “It allows me to express thoughts and feelings that I would have normally kept to myself. What inspires me is the power that music has.”
With inspiration from the likes of Joe Moses, Future, and Lil Durk, Young Taboo used what he learned from these artists to share his own story with the world while also working to reach his goal of leaving a mark in the music industry.
“My upbringing played a major role in defining my sound,” he said. “I was raised with certain morals and principles on how to be a man and stand ten toes down and I try to put all that in my music.”
When asked what message he wants his fans to take away from his music, Young Taboo stated: “The message I hope people take away from my music is just to have fun, be your self and keep your head up through the struggle and the pain because it’s always going to be a brighter day.”
