Young Bleed’s Humble Beginnings Led to Success
Born Glenn Clifton Jr., Young Bleed began rapping at the age of nine. As a teenager, and determined to make a name for himself, he sold his own tapes on the streets. Gaining prominence through with his track “How You Do That,” Bleed eventually landed a record deal with No Limit Records. His debut album “My Balls & My Word” (1998) reached number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop album charts. Achieving gold certification, the hit album established him as a prominent figure in Southern hip-hop.
A few years later, he released other albums including, “My Own” (2000), Preserved (2011), and “Dare’ Iza’ God” (2022). The latter was released under his own label, Trap Door Entertainment. Bleed continued to mentor younger artists, and remained active in the music industry until his untimely passing.
