Yungstar

Yungstar whose birth name is Patrick Lemon, spent his childhood on Houston’s south west side and started to rap when he was ten. Yungstar was part of DJ Screw’s Screwed Up Click. Yungstar first began to get notice from his freestyling over DJ Screw tapes. Yungstar became well known for his fast paced, tongue-flipping rhymes. He gained national attention after his guest stint on “Wanna Be A Baller,” Lil’ Troy’s hit single that also featured Fat Pat, Big T, Big Hawk, and Lil’ Will.
Beginning in the early 1990s, Yungstar started to work with the CEO of Straight Profit Records, Den Den. Yungstar’s debut album "Throwed Yung Playa" was released in 1999 on Straight Profit. Producers on the album included Ron Forest, Sean Lee, Slack, and Craig Bird. Throwed Yung Playa’s style is Texas funk with strong bass lines and solid sampling. The album includes guest appearance by Dat Boy Grace, Z-Ro, , of the Half Dead Organization, The Gold Child, C-Nile, Lil’ Flex, 2 Low, C-Note, Al-D, Ace Deuce, T-Pop, South Park Mexican, Papa Reu and Lil’ Flip among others. The hit single “Knocking Pictures Off Da Wall featured Lil’ Flex. 40,000 copies of the album were sold. A revised version of the album with some added tracks was then re-released in 2000 by Epic Records.
