Exclusive Interview: Young Miller Tha Don

By Hardcore Flava | February 11, 2024

What first got you into music?

Seeing my OG’s inspire people through music. Making them smile, laugh, cry, chase tour buses and all that. That really made an impact and I wanted to make people feel the same way.

Who inspired you to make music?

My family, Master P. He would be in the studio, working hard but making it look easy. I first learned to perfect my craft watching him.

How would you describe the music that you typically create?

Motivational, Uplifting, Inspirational. I don’t use derogatory language in my music, I just want people to vibe to it and feel good energy and frequency.

What is your creative process like?

I like to ride around listening to the beat until I feel inspired myself. That helps me naturally come up with what I want to write about. I start with the hook then lay down my verses.

Who would you most like to collaborate with?

Nas and J Cole

If you could go open a show for any artist who would it be?

Taylor Swift

What is one message you would give to your fans?

Keep God first and always believe in yourself.

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?

Good and bad. You can reach more people but then everybody has an opinion and feels entitled to share it.

What is the best advice you’ve been given?

To always remain humble.

If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?

To make positive rap more mainstream and to be its own genre.

What’s next for you?

I’m dropping a new single called Ride Along produced by Legendary Harry featuring my boy D Stewart. Also working on my first major movie role. My podcast is coming soon and my first official album releases this summer along with new merchandise.

Shout out to my DMG team, Superstar, Official Jones, IBeli3ve, KTD, BW, Frosty, Lil T, Tango West, Jeremy, Big E.
