“Don’t chase the money, chase the dream. All the people who went through the struggle back then be the ones who get it made later in life” - Blac Youngsta (Breakfast Club)

Samuel "Sammie" Benson, also known as Blac Youngsta, 26, a Memphis, Tennessee native. Youngsta grew up in poverty in a rough area in South Memphis, he started working at seven years old for food and soon took the roll to provide for his three brothers and mother, after his first job closed down, working a 9-5 was over. He then flipped the script and went into the drug game. Youngsta’s life consisted of narcotics, hood beef, and jail sentences along with rapping. “I never took rap serious, I started to take it serious after I lost my little brother” After Youngsta lost his brother his two children got him out of a major depression, his daughter told him “Ever since Uncle been gone you act like you don’t want to be here”, Youngsta “that shit woke me up.” That wake up call gave him his drive and made Youngsta focus back on his music and providing for his family.
Youngsta is “fun, ratchet, and nice” Buck Tv, he is known as a popular artist and entertainer and for his comical outburst and his outrageous Instagram. You may have heard stories on him in The Shade Room, trending articles on him “stealing” a twix from an Atlanta Wal-Mart, being apprehended at Wells Fargo, and flashing his money everywhere. Youngsta is often times misrepresented on social media as a show off and cocky but in reality he’s just loving the new lifestyle from rags to riches.

Gotti met with Youngsta and instantly wanted him to join his tour for two months opening up. After the tour Gotti signed him to CMG and Epic Records, in 2015 while sitting on a Jet, “Man, that was the happiest day in my life,” says Blac.
