    Young Devyn To Perform At Believe Music Hall In Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    Brooklyn-born rapper Young Devyn is taking the rap world by storm in more ways than one. The lyrical poet is getting rave reviews across the United States as well as the Caribbean world (more on that later), but the South is starting to peep game as well.

    Young Devyn plays Friday, July 15, 2022 at Believe Music Hall in southwest Atlanta.

    Young Devyn Performing At Believe Music Hall In Atlanta

    Hours before her show, the young rap star sat down with AtlantaFi.com to talk about her journey and where she wants to go from here.

    She said she got into hip-hop after listening to Nicki Minaj.

    “I never really paid attention to punchlines and metaphors, but I went back and listened to her album and that was the first time I heard a metaphor really connect for me,” she said. “And I thought that it was the smartest thing ever. And I always liked being smart and I wanted my music to be smart and I don’t know what she did or how she said it, but it sounded very smart so that’s when I taught myself what punchlines were, metaphors and switching up my flows,” she said.

    Many people may not know it, but Young Devyn, who has Trini roots, had a pretty big career in the Caribbean as a child.

    “I had an extensive career in Soca until I turned 16 years old,” she said. “I was touring in front of 30.000, 40,000 people at ages 8 to 15, but when I turned 16 that’s when I shifted my fan base to rap.”

    She said her Caribbean fan base continues to support her today.

    “I have a very huge Caribbean fan base that people don’t even know about … so it’s dope. It’s a very versatile crowd,” she said.

    Don’t miss Young Devyn performing at Believe Music Hall in Atlanta on Friday, July 15, 2022. Get tickets here.

    Wha'ts on the Usual Menu in Atlanta?

    Here’s what one customer says about The Usual. “Great food — think elevated American bar dishes. The service was excellent and I liked the fun atmosphere. We had loaded fries, the house parker rolls, calamari, and the shrimp louie salad. All were very good, although I would skip the calamari next time. For dessert we did the skillet chocolate chip cookie with ice cream – it was delicious. I will definitely go again.”
