Early life

Yung Joc was born Jasiel Robinson in 1983. His father ran a hair-care products company and helped him write a jingle for Revlon. He founded his own label, Mastermind.3

Music career

Teaming with producer Russell "Block" Spencer, founder of the Block Enterprises label, Joc recorded club track "It's Goin' Down" in the summer of 2006. Spencer signed Joc to Sean Combs's Bad Boy Records for a multi-million dollar deal, and Bad Boy released Joc's debut New Joc City that year.3 "It's Goin' Down" reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. The next single, "I Know U See It", reached #17 on the Hot 100 and #2 on the Hot Rap Tracks. Joc's next album, Hustlenomics, was released in 2007, with the singles "Coffee Shop" and "Bottle Poppin'".

Yung Joc plans to release his third studio album Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood on Swagg Team Entertainment under Jive Records sometime in 2009.45

Business deals

He owns two automobile-related companies, as well as a sunglasses line which will be debuting soon called Claudio St. James. Joc and his father will work together to manage the sunglasses line. Joc has also been said to have a new record label through Jive Records, called Swagg Team Entertainment. This label will see the debut from Chicago rap group Hotstylz; their first single will be "Lookin Boy".6 It also saw the debut from Dallas rap group GS Boyz; their first single being "Stanky Legg".4

Christian Influences

On March 23, 2006, Yung Joc appeared at the Exodus tour event. At the event Yung Joc gave his testimony about being a Christian. He went on to say, "I'm not trying to be a preacher, but God is real in my life." The event was coordinated and sponsored by Corey "CoCo Brother" Condrey, who hosts a radio show called "The Spirit of Hip-Hop," which tries to bring rap and gospel music together to promote Christianity. He has become one of few rappers to do so. 7
