On October 23, 1990 a future star was born to Jose Andujar and Charlette Johnson Andujar. Gregory Antonio Andujar would become a 2011 106 & Park Freestyle Champion and there is so much more to the artist than his Lil Boosie like rap style and ADHD stage presence. Recently President of the all female promotion company H.U.S.T.L.E?B.A.N.G! got a chance to interview the upcoming artist and get some more insight. Also known as Yung Nut, Greg is a very humble and hilarious artist looking for more than just a career in music. The name was a name that he received as a child. Growing up in the streets of Charlotte, NC he wanted to run the streets with his big brother and CEO of his label. Due to him being so young they called him yungin. With him wanting to run the streets with the big boys they called him peanut. The name stuck but, with age was broken down to Yung Nut and stuck.
Yung Nut was five when he began rapping but, didn’t take it serious. I was always good at putting words together. He had a girlfriend that was killed and that’s when he began to take it more serious. Her death is also the reason that 223 mean so much. Both their birthdays were on Oct 23rd. If you add the numbers together and you get 7. Everyone knows that 7 is a lucky number. 223 is God’s perfect number. He went into major detail on the relationship he shared with his lost love. The story was very touching and heart warming all at the same time.
As far as his feelings on the music industry now, Yung Nut had so much to say. He feels that the industry is not as it once was but, is slowly coming back to the basics. Everyone will show tell you the good about being in the streets but, they don’t let you know the outcome of death and prison. He wants to be the spokesperson for his generation. He doesn't want to be an average rapper; he wants to be a legend.
Yung Nut worked with many industry artists. Lil Boosie is a big inspiration for the young artist and he has hopes of him being freed soon.
He has also done shows with Freeway, Jodi Breeze, Trina and Yo Gotti.
The best way to become a major artist is to think major. Don’t do anything local. Be major from the beginning! There is no better way to get acknowledged than being in the club with one artist one night and a different big name the next. You will definitely have people saying, "who is this guy. He was poppin bottles with Yo Gotti last night and now he in here with Rick Ross. He must be important". He is currently working on his mixtape and his album. The album will be a backup of the mixtape entitled "Returning 223". The artist wants to give his fans what they have been accustomed to. A lot of people make it and change up or go commercial too quick. Nut does not want to leave his fans disappointed or lose them.
This was a very interesting interview. I can definitely see this young man going very far and very fast. He has such a good head on his shoulder and so much insight into life. Stay tuned because you will definitely see more from him. For all fans that want to know what is next he will be in Kentucky the week of Jan 15th, a show in his hometown of Charlotte performing with Maino, Trina and Roscoe Dash and on January 20th he will be performing for Da Commission at their Victory Concert in Raleigh at the club Sharksbar.
