How did Yung Joc Make His Money & Wealth?

Born on April 2, 1983, in Atlanta, Georgia, Yung Joc’s (Real Name: Jasiel Amon Robinson) original aspiration was to pursue basketball- unfortunately for him however, his parents did not support his dreams of playing on the court. Growing up, his father Stanley Tucker owned a hair-care products company. Pulling a few strings from behind, he helped him land an opportunity to write a song for Revlon as a teen.

Ultimately, it was during his early twenties that he first began to explore a music career. In the spring of 2005, Yung Joc was introduced to Nitti Beats, a local Atlanta producer; together, the two eventually recorded, It’s Goin Down– a song that would later become his breakout hit.

Later released as an official single in April 2006, It’s Goin’ Down quickly proved to be a major success. Upon hitting stores, it peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B, number 1 on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks, and number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. His second most successful track to date, it has since gone platinum three times in the United States.

But that’s not all- the song also garnered numerous accolades including a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Song in 2007. On top of that, it also landed a feature on Rolling Stone’s list of “100 Best Songs of the Year.” Since then, a handful of remixes have been released including those that feature Jody Breeze, Rick Ross, Slim Thug, and Lil Wayne.

Riding on the momentum that he had, Yung Joc later released his second single, I Know You See It in July 2016. Composed by the rapper himself, it peaked as high as number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 5 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs shortly upon its release. On Youtube, accompanying visuals also made its way to the site; as of 2017, the MV has been viewed over 1.4 million times.

Prior to the end of 2006, he came out with another single titled, 1st Time. Taken from his debut album, it featured a couple of guest appearances from Marques Houston and Trey Songs. Based on a woman’s first sexual experience, the song consisted  entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 93, from which it eventually climbed up to number 82. Later on, it also charted on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks and Hot R&B Songs charts at number 11 and 15 respectively.

That summer, Yung Joc also released his debut album, New Joc City. Made available on June 6, 2006, it boasted sixteen tracks including, Hear Me Coming, Knock it Out, Picture Perfect, He Stayed in Trouble, Do Yo Bad, Don’t Play Wit It, and Flip Flop– many of which were collaborations with artists such as Boyz N Da Hood, Marques Houston, Cheri Dennis, and A.D. Griffin.

Shortly after its release, the album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Top 200, with approximately 150,000 first week sales; on the Billboard Top R&B and Top Rap Albums chart, New Job City eventually also reached number one. Despite lukewarm reviews, the project has since sold over 500,000 copies in the US, earning it gold accreditation from the RIAA.

From there, the Atlanta rapper dropped his second studio album, Hustlenomics in August 2007. Preceded by the single, Coffee Shop, a number of record producers were enlisted for the project including Diddy, Cool & Dre, Drumma Boy, Jazze Pia, The Neptunes, and The Fixxers, among others. A decent hit, it had sold over 70,000 copies by the end of the first week.

Featuring guest appearances from Trick Daddy, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Dust Boy, Gorilla Zoe, The Game, among others, the playlist comprised of 18 tracks including, Gettin’ to da Money, Hold Up, Levin’ the Life, Chevy Smile, Hustlenomics, and Play Your Cards. In the United States, Hustlenomics eventually peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200, and at number 1 on the Top Rap Albums and Top R&B Albums charts.

On top of those releases, Yung Joc has also released a series of mixtapes from 2006 to 2012. Mostly self-released, they consist of the titles, Joc of All Spades, Joc is Back, The Grind Flu, Swagg Team Mafia: The Movie, Ready to Fly, and Bitch I’m Joc. Some highlights from said tapes include, Neck, Might as Well, 500 Horses, Was She Like, and Yellow Tape.

Like most artists, he has collaborated with other acts on multiple occasions. For instance, he has worked with Danity Kane, Lil Boosie, Trae, T-Pain, Cheri Dennis, Bobby V, and David Banner, among others; these tracks include, Show Stopper, In The Hood, I Love You, Killa, Get Like Me, So Fly, and Beep. At one point, he also contributed to Cassie and Diddy’s remix of, Me & U.

Aside from what he earns from record sales, Yung Job also pulls in a decent amount from putting on concerts- something that’s common for those in the music industry. Though he hasn’t gone on tour in the recent years, he did for example, put on a handful of shows last year from Fresno, California, to Tacoma, Washington. So far this year, the rapper has also performed at a few venues across the country- including those in New York, Utah, Alabama, and New York. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any upcoming shows booked at this time.

On Youtube, it’s also assumed that the rapper receives a cut from his Vevo channel, which has since amassed over 6,300 subscribers. As of 2017, his music videos have already been viewed more than 1.7 million times across his account- currently, his top upload, the MV for Features (Explicit) Ft. T-Pain has accumulated over 484K views. Though it’s unclear how much he receives from the Vevo channel, on average the pay rate is said to range from $25 to $35 per 1,000 views.

Outside of music, Yung Joc has also appeared on television on multiple occasions. For instance, he has been featured as a supporting cast member in VH1’s reality series, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta since 2014. As of 2017, the show is currently on its sixth season.

Last year, the rapper took part in another reality show called, Leave it to Steve. The third spin-off of the above series, it chronicled the life of award winning producer, Stevie in Atlanta, Georgia. One of his close friends, Yung Job has made several guest appearances in the show since its premiere in December 2016.

Most recently, it has been announced that he will also be taking part in the upcoming horror reality series, Scared Famous, which is scheduled to premiere on October 23, 2017 on VH1.

So there you have it- some of Yung Joc’s greatest accomplishments. From everything that we’ve said, it’s clear that his $8 million fortune came from a variety of sources- from his record sales, to concert shows, to television appearances. Despite having already hit his thirties, the rapper has showed no signs of stopping down!

New Joc City

Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in nearby College Park, Yung Joc was born Jasiel Amon Robinson. Yung Joc would gain his foothold in the music industry, of all places, from getting the chance to write a jingle for the cosmetics giant Revlon. This opportunity came from contacts through his father Stanley Tucker, who also happened to own a hair-care product line.

As a result of the success found in writing the jingle, Joc would go to Atlanta, meeting a producer by the name of Nitti Beatz and coming out with the debut album, New Joc City in 2006. On this album would be his biggest hit, “It’s Going Down” which gained popularity due to the distinctive Atlanta verse and beat combination of the time, a mix very similar to Atlanta veteran artists like Lil Jon. This style seemed to have found it’s archetype in this song, as it gained Yung Joc 7 award nominations, including Best Rapper of the Year and a Grammy Award nomination for best Rap Song. After gaining over 500,000 album sales and being certified gold by the RIAA, Sean Combs’s Bad Boy South Records would renew a record deal for the artist, as well as give him several guest spots in Diddy’s album, Making the Band 4.

This success would be followed by Hustlenomic$ , which would prove to not have any breakout hits (despite making it to #3 in the Billboard 200 within the first week of release), though his partnership with David Banner in the single “Get Like Me” would gain him a nomination for best Hip-Hop Video of The Year from the BET Awards. This would prove to be surprising for both critic and fans alike, especially with the guest stars including big names like Snoop Dogg , The Game and Rick Ross filling out the album’s roster.

What’s Yung Joc Doing Now in 2018- Recent Updates

In 2009, Yung Joc diverted his focus away from music slightly to form Swagg Team Entertainment, a label through Jive Records. This formation was in part due to a lawsuit involving his former record label and Block Entertainment, where the latter parties had allegedly refused to pay royalties to Joc for his performances. This new label would sign acts Hotstylz and the GS Boys, whose hit “Stanky Legg” gained nominal popularity for subsequent years. Joc himself would release a free mixtape titled Grind Flu through the label’s website. This would revitalize Joc’s touring schedule, though again would fail to produce any breakout singles for the rapper.

Trouble would begin to strike Joc’s career shortly after Christmas, 2011 as his recording studio would be robbed for approximately $70,000 worth of equipment and recordings. Among these were some of the singles to be released for his album Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood, which would never come to full release. Instead, two singles from the would-be album (“Yeah Boy” and “I Know What She Like”) would be released, and a period of silence would fall onto Joc’s career.

This silence would turn deafening as in 2012, the parent company of Swagg Team Entertainment would dissolve, and thus relegate all projects of Joc’s label to RCA Records. This would cause a period of inactivity from Joc until 2014, where he would both release “I Got Bizness” with T-Pain, and also played a supporting role in VH1’s Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta.

As for 2016, it would appear that Yung Joc has had a mixed bag of events. While releasing a new single for a so far unnamed album (“Wrong Places”) has gained some popularity, what people have been talking about most is the rapper’s new hair style. In particular, Twitter has seen a huge jump in the mention of Yung Joc’s side part as of August, comparing him to Spongebob Squarepants, Apu from the Simpsons, and plenty of other individuals granting him at least transient meme status. As a result of this Yung Joc has lashed out to defend his style choices, but also admitted in an interview to have created some of the memes himself in good humor.

Recently, and with significantly less joking, there has been a recent attempt by Gucci Mane to rile up Yung Joc in the diss track, “F*** the World”, where he claims that Joc went broke after his first big hit. Joc instead let the money speak for itself, stating the fact that as of 2016, his net worth is still over $8 Million.

It will yet to be seen if Yung Joc will release an album before the end of 2016, but what can be said for certain is that his spirit, and bank account, are still going strong.
