Biography

Like many artists on No Limit, Young Bleed is a native of Louisiana. He was signed to the label after earning the attention of No Limit founder and CEO Master P, who had Young Bleed rap on the I'm Bout It soundtrack in early 1997. Around that time, his debut album, My Balls & My Word, was put on the No Limit schedule. It was finally released in January of 1998 and went gold within a month of its release, reaching the Top Ten on the pop album charts. My Own followed in late 1999 and didn't do as well commercially, released by Priority rather than No Limit. Young Bleed returned in 2002 as Young Bleed Carleone with Vintage, the inaugural release by Da'tention Home Records. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Biography

Young Bleed started rhyming at the age of nine at home in his native South Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He claims to have been influenced by his mother, who had read poetry to him from a young age, and the rise in popularity in hip hop and acts like Run DMC.[1] By his teenage years had begun recording his rhymes, selling hip hop tapes independently to friends on the streets of his neighborhood, and eventually signing to a local record label. [2]. In 1995 he joined with fellow Baton Rouge-based hip hop artists C-Loc, J-Von, and Max Minelli to form the hip hop group Concentration Camp with whom he is still affiliated present. [3]

Career

Young Bleed’s first glimpse of national fame was when his song with, “How You do That,” was remixed by Master P of No Limit Records. It was released on the 1997 soundtrack to Master P’s film I'm Bout It which peaked at number one on Billboard R&B/Hip Hop album charts in mid-1998.[4] Then with the help of Master P, he signed a deal with Priority Records to release his major label debut album My Balls & My Word in 1998. The album peaked in the top ten of the Billboard 200 and number one on the Top R&B/Hip Hop album charts. The follow-up My Own (album) was released independent of No Limit on Priority and though charting on both the Billboard 200 and Top R&B Hip Hop albums charts, it failed to make similar waves as its predecessor. [5]

While in the process of recording his third solo album with Priority, Vintage, Young Bleed was released from his contract and forced to go independent. Young Bleed joined C-Bo's West Coast Mafia Records and released Rise Thru da Ranks from Earner Tugh Capo in 2005 and Once Upon a Time in Amedica in 2007. On September 23, 2008 Young Bleed released his fifth album, Off tha Curb. It is a collaborative album with the up and coming rapper Freize (rapper).
