Young Poppi Lushawn Clinton, known by his stage name Poppi was born in Newark,NJ. He is one of the many grandchildren of the legendary godfather of funk George Clinton. When Pop was 7, he moved to Atlanta, GA with his father and younger brother . Although he is the grandson of the superstar legend, once his father left touring on the road to spend more time with his kids financially things started to spiral down hill. As a kid, Pop moved around a lot attending about 8 different schools before graduating in 2010. He got into music early in life experimenting with rapping while using anything to make a hip hop beat. It wasn’t until he was 16 and moved to Tallahassee with his uncle that he found a real passion for recording music. His uncle George Clinton III, also known as GC3 was the first person to actually take him seriously in music. With this new love for hip hip, Pop hooked up with his cousin down south to form the group Throwback ENT. They recorded numerous songs but never put out a full length project. The next year pop would move back to Atlanta with his father but kept writing and recording and taking his music very seriously, just as his uncle instilled in him. Senior year, after school one afternoon he received the terrible news that his mentor and very much loved uncle had died. Pop was devastated. He then made a promise to his uncle that he would keep making music until it was no longer a hobby. Since then, the artist of Throwback ENT went their separate ways, but Pop was still determined to keep his promise to his uncle. That same year Pop moved back to his hometown of Newark NJ reconnecting with friends and family that are all very encouraging to his music career. To help pay for studio time, Pop began working at the airport. At that time, Pop would record his first full length mixtape “LOVE IZ PAIN” which was released late 2013. “Love is Pain” would also feature his cousin Muhammad whom he just reconnected with after about 10 years. Pop was extremely excited to be in the studio with his cousin recording. They recorded a song entitled “AMERICAN DREAM,” and both were amazed of how well the song turned out. Unfortunately, June 17 2013 right after getting off the phone to wish his father a happy birthday, tragedy struck again, Pop would get a devastating call telling him that his cousin Muhammad (whom he had just recorded with) had been shot. Pop rushed down to the hospital to be with family and to check on his cousin, but with little to no help or info from from authorities, they didn’t know whether he survived or died. It wouldn’t be until the next morning that the Pop’s cousin was pronounced dead. Pop was crushed. He again began to wonder was music really meant for him. It seemed as if the people who believed in him and he worked closest with were leaving him. Once again he was left to make another promise, this time to his cousin as well as his uncle that he will make it and get his voice heard. Pop put the song on the mixtape and dedicated it to his lost cousin, it was the first and last record they recorded together. To date, Pop continues to grind with his recent mixtape “BLOOD OF A LEGEND” which dropped spring 2014. Young Pop is making a lot of noise on the hip hop scene doing shows and continuously recording. Pop is looking forward to the future and is determined to be the best at whatever it is he does. He is following in the foot steps of his grandfather and looking to make a legacy for himself.
