About
When most teenage rappers team up with a star emcee, they experience a whirlwind of adulation and excess. But after Yung Berg signed with DMX at only 15, his parents disapproved and they then sent him to military school. Surprisingly, his folks' zealotry may have been the best thing that could've happened to Berg. While at military school, he hunkered down and honed his craft, so that when he was ready for his second act, he was one of America's most promising young emcees. That promise was largely fulfilled in 2007, when Berg stepped into the limelight with his hit "Sexy Lady" as well as his guest spot on Ray J's "Sexy Can I." Both songs cracked the Top 20, and set the stage for Berg's debut LP, Look What You Made Me Do.
