Introduction

Yung Joc is an American professional rapper with an estimated net worth of $4 Million.

After his 2006 breakthrough into the hip-hop industry, it didn’t take long for Yung Joc to become a best-selling artist. His debut studio album, New Joc City, was certified gold by the RIAA just three months following its release. At the peak of his career, Joc typically earned several million dollars annually from album sales, live concerts, tours, and record deals.

Music Career

Yung Joc’s early life and his father’s creation of the record label Mastermind, which was used to release his music, laid the groundwork for his successful career as a rapper. Over time, he would be ranked among the world’s most successful rappers, with a chart-topping hit single and numerous collaborations. It began in the mid-2000s when Yung Joc broke into the hip-hop industry after meeting Nitti Beatz, a music producer from Atlanta, Georgia.

Yung Joc’s breakthrough into music and collaboration with Nitti Beatz began with the writing and recording of the track “It’s Goin’ Down” in 2005. It would be another year before the song topped the rap charts, and in the interim, Joc teamed up with Block Enterprises label founder Russell “Block” Spencer.

Through this relationship, Yung Joc was introduced to P Diddy and was quickly signed to Bad Boy South. The deal, worth millions of dollars, paved the way for the release of Yung Joc’s debut studio album, New Joc City, which hit record stores in 2006. This was also the year that Yung Joc began featuring on tracks from other artists, including Danity Kane’s “Show Stopper” and “Call U Out” by Cassie.

Chart-Topping Success With “It’s Goin’ Down”

After sitting on the track “It’s Goin’ Down” for a year, Yung Joc finally released it in 2006 to critical and commercial acclaim. Its success saw it rapidly climb the Billboard Hot 100 charts to reach the number three spot and place at the top of the Hot Rap Tracks chart.

Along with his debut album and early collaborations, Yung Joc was one of the richest rappers of the year, grossing around $10 million. The track helped to popularize the snap genre of hip-hop, delivering an insistent beat and rapping style described by critics as “a nonchalant T.I.-esque flow.”

Further Album & Singles Successes

Yung Joc quickly capitalized on the massive success of “It’s Goin’ Down” and his debut album, working with other rappers to produce Hustlenomics. Featuring tracks with Sean Combs, Snoop Dogg, and rap icon Rick Ross, it confirmed his ability to write and perform cutting-edge lyrics that are popular with audiences.

Like the previous album, it reached number three on the Billboard charts, selling around 20,000 copies over the following months. Singles from the release also performed well in the charts, allowing Joc to grow his fan base and release a series of popular mixtapes. One mixtape, Grind Flu, was released for free to his fans by his record label, Swagg Team Entertainment, receiving praise from both critics and fans.

Notable Music Collaborations

With the success of his solo work gaining widespread acclaim in the hip-hop scene, Yung Joc expanded his list of collaborative artists. Between 2009 and 2018, Joc would partner with artists including Flo Rida, Gorilla Zoe, Lil Scrappy, and many more notable rappers around America.

In 2011, he collaborated with the iconic rapper Gucci Mane on the track “Respect My Name,” which was featured on the album Black Squad Mafia. Several of these tracks succeeded in the charts, with releases such as “Buy U a Drank” hitting seven times platinum certification by the RIAA. He also collaborated with Chris Brown and David Banner on the track “Get Like Me,” which was released on the album The Greatest Story Ever Told.

Other Business Ventures

In addition to being a talented musician and rapper, Yung Joc has consistently demonstrated his entrepreneurial skills throughout his career.

In 2009, he entered into a dispute with P. Diddy, which led to the creation of his record label, Swagg Team Entertainment, in 2010. The label provided a platform to promote the talents and work of rappers, including the Chicago rap groups GS Boyz and Hotstylz.

Yung Joc has also made two appearances on reality television shows, joining the VH1 series Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta to celebrate talent in his hometown. In 2017, he competed in the series Scared Famous, which was broadcast on VH for its first season and won over new fans to his music.

Recording Studio Theft

In 2011, Yung Joc reported that his Atlanta-based recording studio had been burglarized by two armed men, resulting in the theft of over $70,000 worth of high-end recording equipment. Some reports speculated whether the robbery was an inside job orchestrated by Joc as part of an insurance scam.

However, Joc denied involvement during an interview with WSB TV, stating that he was “still in the process of deciding who he wanted an insurance policy with.” He also revealed that he had lost valuable unreleased music featuring Jazmine Sullivan, Lil Wayne, and Pitbull in the burglary.

Joc offered a $2,500 reward for anyone who could provide information leading to the return of his hard drives and the arrest of the robbers. According to police reports, no one was injured, and to date, no arrests have been made.

Bad Boy Entertainment Lawsuit

In 2009, Joc was involved in a legal case against Bad Boy Entertainment, the record label founded by Sean Combs. He filed a $2 million lawsuit against the label, claiming he had not been adequately compensated for music released under their brand. The case centered around breach of contract and failure to pay royalties after his success with hits like “It’s Goin’ Down” and “I Know You See It.”

Joc also alleged that the label had charged exorbitant clearance fees for his collaborations with other artists. He stated that he had only received an advance of $25,000 for both his first and third albums. Although a million-dollar budget was allocated for his second album, he never received an advance for that project.

While little is known about the lawsuit’s outcome, reports suggest that the dispute with Bad Boy Entertainment, operating as Bad Boy Records, was resolved privately.
