It’s been a grind for Keith Anthony George II, better known professionally as "Youngin" from San Antonio. Surrounded by rapid career victories and accolades, this mixtape DJ turned Strategic Consultant has transitioned his humble beginnings into a dominant, diversified career. Today, a mainstay as a Music Executive, A&R, Executive Producer, and Strategic Consultant. His journey of authentic engagement and long-term vision embodies passion and persistence.

Keith’s résumé sounds like a guest list to the hip-hop hall of fame. With a track record that includes crafting with legends from King Crooked, to the Stack Bundles family, to management team, contributing to the marketing campaigns for a string of Billboard-charting hits including Maino’s breakthrough singles “Hi Hater” and “All The Above”, he was part of Maino’s management team, contributing to the marketing campaigns which both went on to Gold and Platinum sales, his fingerprints are upon some of the culture’s most essential moments. Keith connected rising talent with industry decision-makers as an A&R and music liaison for Left Lane Music Group. While Left Lane has been involved with artists such as Trina, Kirko Bangz, Fetty Wap, and Trinidad James, Keith’s focus has always been on building meaningful bridges between talent and opportunity.

But beyond laurels, his story is a tale of resilience. “Music industry-wise, there’s not one where I’m from, so I had to build everything from nothing,” Keith tells Billboard. “It was a matter of learning the business, finding mentors, and being consistent.”

Keith became an official member in June 2023. Keith has his sights set even higher. He wants to use his art to inspire the next generation of creatives and reach globally. What does he tell artists and executives? “Be patient, be committed, and always foster real relationships. That’s where the magic lies.”
