A full circle signifies two things: one could be the repercussions of one’s wrongdoings coming to cure the world of it in the currency of justice, and the second being, as simple as it is, the accomplishment of completion, the creation of a legacy. Young Scooter, spotted performing not more than only a few days ago, ever the natural on stage, almost miraculously walked his own full circle on his thirty-ninth birthday, passing away on March 28 2025.
Titled with a name such, it is only for the good that being called Young whenever addressed will keep Young Scooter afresh in the hearts of hip-hop-ers worldwide.
Young as ever, Young Sctooer
Born Kenneth Edward Baily, Young Scooter rose from his feet from Walterboro and stepped onto his destiny in Atlanta. It was his hit single ‘Columbia’ that landed him and his mixtape ‘Street Lottery’ in the true sense, a lottery. Later colliding his prowess and signatures on trap anthems with works of artists like Future, Gucci Mane, and Waka Flocka Flame amongst others, Young Scooter may just have been the one flag of himself on the Hip-Hop culture.
