Samuel "Sammie" M. Benson (born April 8, 1990), better known by his stage name Blac Youngsta, is an American hip hop recording artist. He is signed to Yo Gotti's CMG record label and Epic Records.[1] Youngsta and another Memphis hip hop recording artist, Young Dolph got into a feud in early 2016,[2] which was later dropped that year.

Career

Youngsta first became known regionally after his 2014 hit single, Heavy, from his third mixtape, Fast Bricks 3.[3] He later caught the attention of Yo Gotti, another hip hop recording artist from his area, from appearing in one of Gotti’s videos, which landed a meeting with his label and latter meeting with Gotti himself, and gave Youngsta an opportunity to tour with him for two months. After the tour ended, Gotti decided to sign him to his CMG record label and Epic Records in 2015.[1][4]
