He was born Erich Pierce on October 23, 1986 in a little town of Kansas to the parents of Marva Pierce and Elwood Fitzsimmons as a true gift from God. He later moved to Atlanta Georgia at the age of 4 with his mom and five other siblings leaving behind his father. This young hard working talent began rapping at the age of 12 flipping it from a hobby and turning it into a dream as he took it as a blessing and ran with it. Yung E Da Boi began listening to hip hop as at the age of 6 and had been exposed to many genres of music such as jazz, r&b, gospel, soul, etc. as it sunk into his heart that a musician is why he walks the Earth today. People began turning their backs on Yung E saying that his talents wasn’t up to par as other rappers and began doubting his talents. This began to take a toll as his mother suffered a devastating stroke and later losing his grandfather resulting in repeat attempts of failed suicides and depression. A couple years later he returns with new motivation and began to test his abilities to see how strong he was and how much he wanted this dream to become a reality. Yung E switched his mind frame and name to accommodate his new image and mentality that he had about himself. Whether it’s lending his creative skills or his creativity to create something out of nothing, he works diligently everyday all day to secure his name and legacy as the best-unsigned rapper alive. With the talent of music and the aspirations of acting, Yung E is headed in the right direction in solidifying himself as a true living legend.
