About Young Tanna
Young Tanna was born in Decatur, Illinois. He eventually moved to Memphis, TN with his mother due to her marriage. Shortly after that, Young Tanna settled in Nashville, TN, where he slowly introduced himself to the street side of Nashville as a drug dealer and rapper. Young Tanna started coming up with rhymes at the age of 12, first free styling, not knowing how to write it, just speak it, to any beat or tune that was played. At 14, Young Tanna, known as Young Det at the time, was new to the hip hop or music aspect of the game. A cat by the name of Javon Morris decided to give Young Det a chance in a real studio.
Javon Morris, produced and recorded Young Det’s first EP, “Hush” in 1999. After “Hush”, Young Det was incarnated in juvenile custody, afterwards, he release “Artwork”. While in the studio with Javon Morris, Young Det ran into a group called the Dirty Boiz, which was a group Javon Morris had founded. That connection opened doors for Young Det. The Dirty Boiz liked Young Det’s flow and featured him on their album, “One Family One Luv. After that year, Young Det changed his name to Young Tanna and started recording with the Dirty Boiz and joined them as a group under Stra8aw Productions, owned by, Chad (fiz) Demonbruen but that album didn’t take place as planned.
After that, Young Tanna went back to Javon Morris because Javon told him he could help him once again complete the movement of a whole new project.
