. Most kids at 11 are satisfied with playing games all day. This 11 year old is currently on tour with Lupe Fiasco. Checkout the videos below and tell us what you think. I'm officially a fan.
Young Marqus, aka “YM”, is a child prodigy, poised to be a new and exciting breath of fresh air in the Music Industry. At the youthful age of 10, Young Marqus instantly garnered the respect of industry veterans such as Lupe Fiasco and B.O.B who allowed him to 
be the opening act during their recent STEPPIN LASER Tour. Most Recently, Lupe Fiasco endorsed YM’s talent by posting YM’s “Words I Never Said”(cover) along with words of respect and appreciation on his social media sites as well as his blog, The LupEND Blog, driving fans from all over the world to become instant fans of Young Marqus. Young Marqus has also been featured on popular Hip-Hop Blogs such as “World Star Hip Hop” and “This Is 50”.
Born in Houston, Texas on December 29, 1999 to a teenage single mother, who is also a very talented singer/rapper, in her own right, you could say that Marqus was raised by hip-hop. As a baby, Marqus was often on his mother’s hip in the recording studio or with his beloved Grandmother, also an avid music lover, so it was no surprise when Marqus learned to rap before he could talk. Music became his primary form of expression.

As Marqus has grown up, he and his mother have endured many ups and downs in their lives together and were forced to confront severe financial hardships along the way. Where most would lose hope and succumb to the pressure of the many challenges life throws at you, Marqus became inspired and encouraged by his mothers example. He quickly learned to cope through his music, expressing himself and channeling his perseverance through these hardships, even during the worst of times. During an especially trying period, Marqus and his mother were homeless; living in their car with nothing but a garbage bag to shield them from the gaping hole in the convertible roof. Marqus and his mother somehow found a way to escape their dismal reality by playing instrumental tracks on the car stereo and free styling, back and forth, with each other. To date, Marqus credits the struggles he and his mother successfully endured together in helping him hone his brilliant skills and providing the motivation he put forth in earning his merit as an Honor Student at his School.
