Young Naughdy was born in Oakland, California and was raised in the Acorn Projects of West Oakland. He began focusing on writing poetry at the age of fourteen. Known for his unique standpoint with music, clean image, undeniable talent, and impressive stage presence, rap artist Be-Naiah Williams, also known as “Young Naughdy”, is finding his way to the top of the game through positivism and incredible perseverance. He has performed with Too Short, E-40, Mista Fab, Hieroglyphics and Mac Mall. At the age of seventeen, he met his producer and long time friend, Vincent “V.T.” Tolan. VT directed Naughdy’s talent to cater to a worldwide audience and to aim beyond the boundaries of the hood. He directed his talent towards writing complete songs and producing an album. With only a few months of recording, the determined duo created an album entitled “The Warm Up” released in September 2009, capturing the attention of local promoters and artists here in the Bay Area.
