Yung Joc, aka Jasiel Robinson, was "a mischievous child," as he puts it.” I had a smart mouth," he laughs. Yung Joc was ten years old when artists such as Run DMC, Dana Dane, Ice-T, Slick Rick, and LL Cool J inspired his interests in rap music. "Once I got a little older, my hip-hop inspirations came from Outkast, Goodie Mob, Tupac, and the Notorious B.I.G. “By then," he explains, "I realized that I could do some of the same things these cats were doing and use my situations to catapult me into other opportunities.” The door to stardom opened one fateful night when Block Entertainment heard that a young 23-year-old rapper named Yung Joc was bringing the house down at the historic Royal Peacock, the same place legends like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin took the stage. Block Entertainment got interested and attended one of Joc's show. "He had everybody leaning and rocking side-to-side," Block vividly remembers. "I signed him immediately." "Block assured me that he would give me the space to become a star," Joc concedes. "Since making everything official, I’ve been on the grind even more than I was before." His album, New Joc City, is set for a summer release.
Joc's distinct voice and remarkable ability to shape his flow has won him respect among hip-hop fans and avid listeners.
