(AllHipHop Features) Stunna 4 Vegas recently dropped his latest album, ‘Rich Youngin’ via Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment and Interscope Records.
The North Carolina rapper even amassed streams in the millions in 24 hours.
The project is rightfully titled, ‘Rich Youngin,’ as the Salisbury native got rich in six months, and as he has no problem flexing his new lifestyle.
Da Baby’s Billion Dollar Baby protegé has come a long way in a short time as he was also a part of four tours last year.
Fan-favorites from the project are “Do Dat” and “Change My Life” which features Blac Youngsta.
The project chronicles how Stunna stays on top, and it also boasts additional features from Da Baby, Lil’ Baby, and Offset.
The project is upbeat and energetic, and Stunna injects southern bounce and bop over 808s, keys, and even a saxophone on “R& Beef”.
AllHipHop sat down with Stunna 4 Vegas during Grammy week to discuss ‘Rich Youngin,’ tour life, working with Da Baby, future endeavors and more.
AllHipHop: First congrats on the success of ‘Rich Youngin’. I saw that you amassed over 28 million streams in 24 hours. How does that feel?

AllHipHop: Who were you influenced by? Who were some of your biggest influences growing up?
Stunna 4 Vegas: Down south music was probably the biggest influence, but if I say an influence that made me want to get serious and taking rapping serious was Da Baby after we did the feature for sure.
