Yung L.A. is an American Hip-hop artist hailing from Southeast Atlanta’s East Lake and Thomasville communities in Atl, Ga. The rapper, born Leland Austin, 23, who, on the strength of his hit “Ain’t I,” inked a deal for his Grand Hustle debut, Futuristic Leland (to be distributed by Interscope).
When he dropped his first mixtape, Crush da Block, in 2006, it caught the attention of Young Dro, who groomed and recruited him into the Hustle. “Ain’t I” rocked in Atlanta clubs in early 2008, but exploded when Dro and Tip joined him for a remix. L.A. refers to the club hit as a “slick motivational song” that makes listeners look in the mirror and say, Damn, I look good. Grand Hustle Entertainment newest hire is recording his debut, Futuristic Leland, at Atlanta’s Echo Recording Studios,headquarters for Grand Hustle Entertainment.
His debut single, "Ain't I," featuring rappers T.I. and Young Dro, which peaked at #47 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and at #7 on Billboard's "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs" chart. His debut album, Futuristic Leland, will be released in Summer 2009
