Young But Stackin'
Young But Stackin' is a local rap group/clique originating from low income neighborhood such as the Shaffer Village Projects and the Genesee Homes. Notable members of YBS are "YBS Grimeyy", "YBS ManMan", and "YBS Jaymo", these three members are considered the bread winners as they dabble into the idea of getting into the music business by rapping.
Formation/Operations
Members of YBS are obviously publicly known for rapping but this wasn't always the case. YBS was formed in 2016 by around 10 different teenagers, around then they were just teens trying to make it by constantly recording songs off of phones and in closet studios. On the side, YBS Grimeyy and a few other affiliates got involved in dealing Bloxrr and Bubble Blowers. The plan was to keep selling drugs so that the group could afford official studio time, this quickly stormed the group and a few members got addicted to the money and lifestyle fast. One of these members was YBS Grimeyy, Grimeyy AKA Marcus Sheppard has been arrested multiple times over the years but was still addicted to the lifestyle. Even as this was the case, no YBS members were officially affiliated with any real gang. Now affiliates obviously had ties due to their environment but never official affiliation, although this didn't stop gangs from being upset with the YBS members taking business.
The Jason Thompson Incident of 2019
On the night of September 23, 2019 a shootout occurred outside the Broadway Towers which left an 18-Year old Jason Thompson deceased. The shooter was later found after Kentrell Flowers was caught with the murder weapon after being stopped by police for selling Bloxrr in the Langfield neighborhood. Kentrell was a member of YBS, the beef with Jason Thompson dates back months before the shooting. Jason was apart of a local street gang that made several attempts to stop YBS members from dealing on the streets, it was rumored that YBS Grimeyy had been robbed by Jason just 2 weeks before his murder. Kentrell was given 26 years for the murder and another 18 years after the EBPD raided his home and found illegal firearms, narcotics, and large amounts of money. YBS members are constantly seen saying "Free Trelly" on social media and even in songs.
Present Day
As of recent times, YBS affiliates have become less involved in the drug dealing game and stepped up their focus on music. The group stays out of gang related beef after the 2019 incident, members are still seen today screaming Free Trelly. Some members are still active in the street life which pulls a small divide within the group as the rest of the affiliates are more focused on getting out of the hood while the others still actively commit crimes putting all of YBS at risk.
