BLAKTOP WORLDWIDE is now the official label for YOUNG SODA, and expectations are sure to rise with this massive collaboration of business and talent.

Joel Adarius Hill, also known as Young Soda – is an American rapper, singer/songwriter, producer and entrepreneur from Birmingham, Alabama.

As an independent artist he was inspired to do music at the young age of 15. Amazingly he easily connects listeners to stories of his life and his personal journey. Well versed and well-traveled, Young Soda has journeyed the world and performed with various headliners from coast to coast, creating more than a “buzz” up & down the mid-west, southern regions and online via social media platforms.

Young Soda started his journey as a self-proclaimed “Gangasta Rapper”, which typically represents a hard core hip hop style of music of which he has outgrown and gravitated to a style that uses both his singing and rapping talents. As he has become well known for his collaborative skills on the stage, his discipline and strong work ethic, his career has been nothing short of a testament of grind, growth and evolution.

Currently, living in the Atlanta, GA, this versatile and passionate artist/emcee connects and captivates his crowds immediately - A crowd pleaser with blended talents. Young Soda is musically inspired by the works of Jay Z, T.I. and Andre 3000. Onstage Young Soda has performed or collaborated with YG, Lil Scrappy, Kirko Kobangz and others.

Personally, he has been called a resilient story teller with vibrant and relatable content to leverage to the hip hop community. Within his music you can hear elements of life, passion, grit and determination.

Aside from his family, his loyalty and determination to succeed has become his heartbeat and will create the cornerstone of his success. Self-motivated, his passion is so deeply rooted, you can tell he is hungry for success. Creating music effortlessly, it’s become his escape to life’s trials and tribulations - a vehicle to express himself within the culture that he values.

Enthusiastic about his future, he is focused on growing his brand and distributing his music with BLAKTOP WORLDWIDE on high levels.

Young Soda is focused on vetting opportunities and leveraging himself to larger platforms to build his fan base, presence and brand. With serval physical and visual projects under his belt Young Soda is on a grind, to increasing music catalogue, refining his craft, he is on a rise and is certainly an artist to watch over the next year.
