Raw. Talented. Charismatic. Refreshing. These are some of the qualities you can describe a future superstar in the industry. It takes a certain prescence to be acquired in order to have your face and your name buzzing nationwide. For 18-year-old, Young Pari$, he is on the right track to hip hop greatness.

Hailing out of Houston, Texas, Phillip Bilal aka Young Paris already has the street buzzing in a frenzy in the dirty south. With inspiration to start spitting on tracks all thanks to a bad breakup, Paris has been creating his own lane to become one of the leaders of the new school in the south. Thus far, he has already scored a tough debut with the song titled “Sephia” which he was able to recruit Yung Joc to hop on the track. As Grammy-nominated producer “Composer” stepped into deliver the beat, Young Paris was able to hold his own and shine through the track which can be heard on his self titled debut EP. The Source was able to catch up on Young Paris on his fast track to success and this is what he has to say.

The Source: How did the collaboration of “Sephia” begun? What behind the scene works was done to pull that off?

Young Pari$: I had started taking rap serious around the beginning of this year. I did a couple of Soundcloud tracks which everyone was starting to say that they liked my voice. Certain ppl from my camp was beginning to pub my Soundcloud music hard so we can attract a couple of big name producers to do some tracks because of my voice. As I started to work on my mixtape, I actually worked with the producer by the name of DJ Marley Waters, he did a couple of tracks for Chris Brown, Wyclef Jean and Young Thug. Basically I was doing “Sephia” and I was told that they took the track over to Joc and Joc really liked the sound of the track and he hopped on it. That’s how it happened.

The Source: What’s something new you that you feel that you can bring to the game?

Young Pari$: Well my mind thing in the rap game is I feel that a lot of music is very incoherent. I feel like a lot of artists put out alot of music for the radio but can you really understand what are they saying except for the hook. That was my main thing when I first started this. My main influences are Tupac Shakur and Logic. They both excellent in articulating a clear message in which it helps the listener make out what are they saying. That’s what I’m trying to bring back in hip hop.

The Source: I see you have a record out talking about the recent killings, police brutality and violence of young black males. In this song, you gave a perspective from both sides; the cop and the black counterpart. Can you explain the perspective of that just a little bit? What was your thought process of writing this song?

Young Pari$: When I was writing the song, I kept thinking about how many songs that discuss police brutality. But everyone said the same thing; it’s always ” F**** 12″, “I don’t mess with cops”, or “F*** the police.” But why don’t you? That was the main point I was trying to make. What causes these things to happen? That was my main thing. I all against police brutality but I was also look at a perspective where brothers get themselves caught in different situations they can’t help themselves to avoid from getting into. Even though they may have not done anything but if a cop finds anything on them, you pretty much screwed. As a young black male in America, we are targeted so often. So I think the whole thought press is if you don’t want these cops to mess with you in the first place, don’t put yourself in a predicament where they feel that they can. That’s my whole point.

The name of the track he mentioning about is called “BLAKK AMERIKKKA” which can be found on his debut mixtape on Soundcloud. Check out the visual of “Sephia” which features Yung Joc below.
