Lionel Carter Jr.[1] (born July 8, 1992, Anderson, South Carolina), also known under the stage name Yung Carter, is an American record producer.[1] He produced the single "Type Of Way" by Rich Homie Quan, and worked with artists such as French Montana, Kevin Gates, and Big K.R.I.T.
Early life and career
[edit]In his early years, Carter developed an interest in rhythm and blues as well as classic rap music. Following his graduation from Westside High School, he redirected his focus toward music by enrolling at The Art Institute. During this time, he shared living quarters with a roommate who created beats. Initially, Carter aspired to become an engineer and record artists; however, after observing his roommate's creative process, he became inspired to pursue music production..[2]
In 2011, Carter decided to discontinue his college education and embarked on a career in engineering and recording for various artists. However, he found himself dissatisfied with the direction of his professional path. Lacking alternative employment, he commenced selling his musical beats to support himself financially. Motivated by his cousin, Yung Jonez, Carter dedicated himself to enhancing the quality of his beats. Over time, their collaborative efforts yielded a strong musical synergy, leading Carter to produce several tracks for Yung Jonez..[2]
