🔥 YOUNG FATE PULLS UP TO THE MOSTHATED PODCAST! 🔥
Kansas City rap history runs DEEP, and LiveWire artist Young Fate came through to take us back to an era when the KC music scene was on FIRE. 🎤💿
Young Fate breaks down his early music roots throughout Kansas City and working alongside names like Ron Ron, Rondoe (RIP 🕊️), Young Devi, Young Doe and more.
He tells the story of how performing at Moda Mansion eventually connected him with West Oakland rapper and LiveWire Records owner J. Stalin. What started with them swapping CDs turned into a relationship that would eventually take Fate's music journey to another level. 🌉🔥
And of course… “JET JET!” 🔥
Fate explains how the phrase became so popular around Kansas City, where it came from, and how being slick with words has been part of his personality since he was a kid. He even reveals the story behind the name YOUNG FATE — and trust us, you gotta hear that one yourself.
🎵 He also takes us behind some of his most popular records, explaining how the songs came together and the stories behind them.
But then we get into some REAL Kansas City history…
Young Fate talks about the era of different neighborhoods and rap crews going back and forth, including the 30z vs. 50z / 5ace2 era, when rap beef and real street tension sometimes crossed paths. Fate admits something you don't hear every rapper say: sometimes the opposition would drop a diss song and he actually thought it was HARD. 😂 But instead of just hating, it motivated him to get back in the studio and make an even harder response.
That leads into a bigger conversation about just how influential Kansas City's underground sound really was. Fate talks about KC's history with fonk, street music and aggressive neighborhood-based rap years before “drill” became a nationwide movement, and why Kansas City doesn't always receive the credit it deserves for its contributions to that sound.
From KC rap history ➡️ LiveWire ➡️ J. Stalin ➡️ classic records ➡️ old neighborhood rivalries ➡️ 30z vs 50z ➡️ JET JET ➡️ the evolution of Kansas City's music scene, Young Fate gives us stories from an era you had to actually BE THERE to understand.
