Young Riot speaks on his future. Check out the full interview @ RapIndustry.com. s/o to Todd Davis
Excerpts:
RapIndustry: At what point did you actually start taking your craft more seriously?
Young Riot: One day I was sitting in the crib and I was listening to Mobb Deep. I had their CD single, you know how they used to come with the main, radio edit, and the instrumental? I wrote to the instrumental, and I actually remixed the Prodigy verse. And, I thought if I can remix a verse, I can write my own verse. My pops had a little recorder, so that’s how I started. Ever since then, it was like, “I have to write!”
RapIndustry: What series of events actually led to your current inking to Amalgam Digital?

MTV highlighted “A Wave Called Yes” on their Mixtape Mondays segment where Max B said his wave just doesn’t dry up. While the New York MC awaits his appeal of a decades-long prison sentence for manslaughter and various other charges, his music is still being heard. Amalgam Digital recently released a mixtape by the spitter and the upstart Young Riot. – Shaheem Reid/MTV (Click to read full article)

YOUNG RIOT
“When I’m in the studio, I’m calm,†says Young Riot, sitting in a swivel chair at his East Boston studio. “I can get pretty animated and go off. Someone saw me moving and called it a riot.†Call it the calm before the storm. The young rapper is making waves in Boston’s hip-hop scene. He signed with Bay State staple Amalgam Digital last year and has since been covered in Hip Hop magazine and the Source, performed at the 2010 SXSW music festival, gotten nominated for MTVU’s best freshman video (for “Money Moneyâ€), and started his own clothing company, YOMP.
But don’t expect a mixtape from Young Riot — instead, he’s releasing professional music videos. The first was for “Cream of the Crop (Mr. Clean)â€; two others have followed. “I don’t want to flood the market. I wanted to jump in with visuals. With each new song release, and each video, I want people to see my growth.â€
Max B talks about his recent court victory freeing him from Jimmy’s contract, the September release of Vigilante Season and the A Wave Called Yes mixtape with his protege Young Riot.
