Young chizz ypr
Young Chizz is a rapper from Jamaica, Queens, New York. His stage name was inspired by one of his grandmothers, as she always called him "Child" and "Young Child". Young Chizz was formerly known for the single "Jump On It", which he recorded while part of the duo Fame & Chizz (released in March 2010, according to the iTunes store). Fame & Chizz also recorded a song called "Moving", which was picked up by Michael Cherry of NASCAR. The success was short lived, however, as they had to put their music career on hold for personal reasons, which Young Chizz mentioned in an on-air interview with DJ Cap Cee from WAEB-FM, better known as "B104". Young Chizz is more currently recognized as a solo artist who's gaining fans worldwide, as you can see by the amount of activity on his verified Facebook page; many also know him for his most recent album, Provoked, based on the number of plays it has received online,
