California rapper
Yhung T.O. is best known as part of the rap collective
SOB X RBE (Strictly Only Brothers, Real Boi Entertainment) and he's defined by his vocal/rap hybrid style. Born and raised in Vallejo -- in the Bay Area of California, where all members of the crew lived --
Yhung started off by making music on his Playstation with
DaBoii, recording vocals on their phones. From there they connected with Lul G and
Slimmy B through mutual acquaintances; together they hit it off creatively, forming a creative brotherhood. As they would often reiterate,
SOB X RBE wasn't created as a rap group, but more of a mutually supportive collective, giving individual members the freedom to release solo material and feature on a regular basis.
Yhung T.O., in particular, was no stranger to his solo career, featuring on tracks by numerous artists including Nef the Pharaoh's "Spice" and
Philthy Rich's "Around," the latter of which also featured
Gucci Mane. By 2017 he had even recorded his debut solo album, On My Momma, which featured
SOB X RBE members
DaBoii and
Slimmy B, alongside fellow California rapper
Mozzy. In 2018,
Yhung T.O. and the rest of
SOB X RBE contributed the track "Paramedic!" to the chart-topping soundtrack to the film
Black Panther. They followed with
Gangin, which landed at 74 on the Billboard 200 in early 2018.
Gangin II arrived later that autumn on the heels of
Yhung T.O.'s decision to leave the group. ~ Liam Martin
