Young Chizz
Young Chizz is a rapper from Jamaica, Queens, New York. His stage name was inspired by one of his grandmothers, as she always called him "Child" and "Young Child". He is known for the single Jump On It, which he recorded while part of the duo Fame & Chizz (released in March 2010, according to the iTunes store). Fame & Chizz also recorded a song called Moving, which was picked up by Michael Cherry of NASCAR. The success was short lived, however, as Young Chizz became seriously ill, and they had to put their music career on hold, which Young Chizz mentioned in an on-air interview with DJ Cap Cee from WAEB-FM, better known as "B104".
