Young Life - I'm a Boss ft. Lil' Wayne & Paul Wall
Artist: Young Life
Featuring: Lil Wayne , Paul Wall
Producer: MG
Album: Hard Knock Life: The Black & White Print Edition Mixtape
Label: Far West Ent/Bungalo/Universal
Just like the legendary Jay-Z, Compton-born Young Life doesn’t write down his rhymes. Surrounded by gang violence throughout his upbringing, the gifted 19-year-old knows exactly what he wants to say and how he will continue to say it. Signed to Bungalo Records (with distribution through Universal), and aligned with The Game’s Black Wall Street, the almost legal emcee recently hooked up with Lil’ Wayne and Paul Wall for his biggest record to date. On the MG-produced I’m A Boss, all three emcees jockey for top position, each getting ample time to shine. Next to both industry big dogs, the former of which took home BET’s “Lyricist of the Year” award last night, Life manages to make his presence known. I’m A Boss can be found on the forthcoming mixtape, Hard Knock Life: The Black & White Print Edition.
This song first appeared on the

Solid. I was impressed by Young Life when I first saw this on the blog radar and decided to give it a try... he does a good job. Wayne and Paul Wall do well, to, but honestly since I'm rating this on memory rather than as I'm hearing it (some tracks from john legend's album are playing lol) I remember Young Life more than either of them. In Rotation

Fat Joe is not on this song E-dub! The title is a definite cliche that's been carbon copied SO MANY TIMES! The beat is pretty decent...I could hear Drizzy killing this like "Ransom". Young Life was remotely irrelevant. Lil Wayne brought his "A" game here. Yo! It also sounds like Paul Wall changed up his style on this. He definitely snapped off on this. Wayne, Wall and this production makes this a 4 star track. Too bad the main rapper on the track wasn't a big influence on that rating.

Rick Ross forfeited his "Boss" title" once we found out he was the "Biggest cop that we seen thus far"

People need to drop the "Young" and "Lil". I love Wayne on tracks like this. Ross is still boss for me, cop or what. "Deeper Than Rap" has to be good, though, lol.

Life sounds like Jada to me for some reason. The beat on this sounds familiar bordarlining lazy/generic rifting. Weezy kills it for the first time ever. JK I can see myself playing this.

what ethnicity is Young, how come he's trying to rap like Weezy. Its a hot track. But there's a reason Game and/or Juice aren't on this record. Who are the obviously top two artists on BWS. This is cool seeing WC and South kind of mix though. But it'd be cool to see this "amazing" lyricist actually produce some good lines like the new WC king Game.
