In The Mind Of A Misfit
Yung Glue is from a small town called Perry, fl. Yung Glue moved from this town when he was fairly young to a city called Tallahassee, fl. Born with the name Eric McNeal, rapper/ song writer said him and his partner Alex “Big Al” Flowers has had this plan to form a rap group every since they were little kids. They began to form the rap group at a very young age called M.V.R. The rap group M.V.R included ,Yung Glue himself, and his partner Big Al, and both of their close Friend, Jay Monte“Kid Jay” Mcleod. Their rap group M.V.R produce many popular songs, like Looney Tunes, Ready For Whatever, and many more. Years Later the group change their name to “MISFITS”. The group felt that the name “M.V.R” didn’t really display them any more as they had grown older, and matured. The group felt that the name “M.I.S.F.I.T”-(Motley, Individuals, Searching, For, Independent, Truths) displayed their life style, and goals. I meet up with Mr. Yung Glue for an interview, so he can tell me his thoughts in goals behind his whole project called M&M: Misfits Music.
