We had the good fortune of connecting with Eddie Hampton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Eddie, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
It was very simple I found something I loved to do and instead of going major I learned the business behind the music then went independent and gave others a platform to do what they love without the shenanigans.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Smyrna rapper Young Chasa was born Eddie Hampton in Marietta Ga birth date January 6th 1985 . Young Chasa began to pursue his music career in 1999, Young Chasa grew up selling dope and jewelry then one day someone let him spit a few bars on the mic, Young Chasa literally not knowing what he was doing spit a few bars on the track heard the playback and instantly fell in love with the music. Young then told himself hey, I can do this too. And the rest was history, Young Chasa has worked with some big names in the industry as well as some independent artist, producers and engineers.

Well me personally I’m not a outside type of person. I only go out if I’m doing shows or networking with other artists or business owners but that’s just me.
