David Darnell Brown (born March 15, 1981), best known by his stage name Young Buck, is an American rapper. Buck is a former member of the hip hop group UTP Playas. As a music executive, he heads his own record label, Ca$hville Records, and is currently a member of the hip hop group G-Unit. After being dismissed from the group back in 2008, Buck reunited with his former group members on June 1, 2014 at Hot 97's Summer Jam event.
Around the age of twelve, Brown began rapping because he was inspired by a Miami friend named Clay Cole. Jealous of his friend's talent, he wanted to beat him no matter what he had to give up. At the same time Clay Cole moved to Tallahassee in Florida, Brown began recording in a real studio. Shortly thereafter, he was given an opportunity to perform for Brian "Baby" Williams, co-founder of Cash Money Records. After several years on and off of Cash Money Records, Brown and fellow rapper Juvenile decided to leave the label for good in 2000 and go to UTP Records, where Brown stayed until 2003. One of his early appearances was on the song "Memphis," where he was featured along with Three 6 Mafia, Project Pat, and other southern rappers. His deal with UTP later led to a meeting with New York rapper 50 Cent, who later signed him to G-Unit Records, under Interscope Records.
Young Buck would get his first major deal with Cash Money Records in 1995 when he was given an opportunity to perform to Brian "Baby" Williams, co-founder of Cash Money. Buck, soon after, would tour with Birdman on the road and do several shows together. Even though Buck was signed with the label, he never appeared on any of their albums or released his own under the label. After several years of being on and off Cash Money Records, Buck and fellow rapper Juvenile decided to leave the label in late 2001 where he would join Juvenile's record label UTP Records and the rap group UTP Playas.
