Yung and Rising - An Interview With Yung Zakk by Sugar Pie

Every once in a blue moon Sugar opens it's doors up to the male species.  I'm not a raging feminist 360 days of year! ;)   This summer I had the pleasure of producing and hosting Sugar's first out state show in my home state of Washington in hopes of shining some light on the up and coming and rising stars of Seattle and surrounding cities.  Being from Tacoma I knew that there was a heavy hip hop and rap scene so we had our first ever Sugar Rap Contest.   I got the chance to witness a lot of incredibly talented contenders, but to my great surprise and delight the rapper to take the First Place Prize was 253's very own Yung Zakk.  Zakk won some very awesome prizes from our Sugar Does Seattle sponsors, Two In the Shirt, Sound Sessions with DJ Hyphen, A Real Grip, Shocking Goat, Seaspot Magazine, MissCaseyCarter.com, and more.

I recently got the chance to catch up with our young Northwest rap prodigy, Yung Zakk, to find out what's in store for the future, how Sugar helped, and what drives and inspires this rising star.

Yung Zakk:  Ive  just finished my 1st mixtape "NICE GUYS FINISH LAST" avalible Dec 25th on misscaseycarter.com     also avalible on hotnewhiphop.com/yungzakk. In addition Ive completed few videos that are in the prosses of being edited. Ive also started working on my next project with J ROC (artist / producer of Track Addictz  from tac). I have spoken with SeaSpot Media Group about some things that have been going on with me and I will be doing a follow up interview with them some time soon.      
Sugar Pie:  Do you feel like winning the contest helped your career?  Explain.    

Yung Zakk:  Very much so. Winning the contest has opened alot of doors for me allowing me to meet people in fashion, media, blogs, music, photography, and more. All these people have created a huge marketing avanue for me.      

Sugar Pie:  Who is Yung Zakk?      

Yung Zakk:  Im an artists out of Tacoma, Washington. Ive been making music for a few years now and I'm just starting to put it all together. I believe persistence is key and that if u never stop you'll  the last one standing. I just want to make good music and represent the NW well.

    Music & Art are essential to keep me happy. A lot of what I post will revolve around staying happy & healthy while having fun. Art is good for the soul.

    Where mainstream becomes lamestream, I opt out.  I believe that that fashion forward = constant and relentless reinvention.  The greatest masterworks of art, beauty, and entertainment  have one thing in common, and that is:  they are not common.  The good stuff doesn't knock at your door, you have to go find it, and it's hiding in the spirits of people...

    The alphabet is my comfort zone and music is my passion. Glitter, leather, and lace all make me feel at home. I sleep best when out on the open road; Chaos is my lifestyle and intend to keep it this way.

    Air is what moves me. The Sun is my energy. the wind is my guide. I only move forward.  Love is my answer to everything.  I will change the world with a simple smile. My mind never stops thinking, my heart will never stop loving, my eyes will never stop from noticing, and my body will not rest until I see the change in the world that I want to see.
