Philly’s Yung Gypsy Embodies Her Takeover In “B.M.S.” (Video & Interview)

Philly’s own Yung Gypsy embodies her industry takeover in her new FranchiseBeats/Rotation Records produced single/video “B.M.S.” The indie artist wastes no time letting the world know who she is, what she’s here for, and how she moves. Her energy exudes empowering confidence as well as a raw edginess. Watch the video and tap in below for an interview with Yung Gypsy as she tells all about the record, holding it down in the industry, what’s next, and more.
MJ: Before we jump into your new single/video “B.M.S.” let everyone know who you are and where you’re from.
Yung Gypsy: I’m a Tri-State Gypsy from the Tri-State area. Born in South New Jersey, living in and out of Brooklyn NY. Raised in PA. I never stay anywhere long enough for the roots to stick. It’s a lifestyle. One of a Nomadic Traveling Artist.
MJ: At what point in your life did you decide it was time to kick start your career? Walk us through a brief timeline.
Yung Gypsy: Honestly it just kind of happened! I came to Reading PA to meet up with my boy Frank (shout out to FranchiseBeats) we were catching up and going through some of his music catalogs (this man is a genius). Now we ran through quite a few songs he produced but there was one he left in the tuck (untouched) he wanted me to hear. He took a sample from one of my favorite movies and as soon as I heard the track, I knew it was time.
MJ: Holding it down in a male-dominated industry, tell us what sets you apart from other artists, from looks to style, to craft, etc.
Yung Gypsy: So first off… I feel like the ladies are taking over! The men pull the strings behind the scenes, but the women run the show… I’m such a free spirit and a very spiritual being at that and I like to exude and integrate that power and belief into my craft and all of my passions. I throw in originality with a hint of the many inspirations that came before me in many different genres to give tribute and pay homage. Music is ever evolving, and I want to portray an image that doesn’t put me in a box.
MJ: Let’s dive into your new single/video “B.M.S.” A few impressions fall into play while watching the video…bold, sexy, and confident. What was the push behind the record? What are you hoping fans and new listeners/audiences will take from it?
Yung Gypsy: So, when I listen to a track I try not to approach it with a ready-made theme. Although, in times where I might need to get some things off my chest or I feel like I need to release a ball of creative energy, I’ll sit and write cappella but when it comes to an original beat, I feel like I have to bring to its original sound. I never know what’s about to come to my head. I like to just let my mind wander on the beat. So, when it came to “B.M.S” I did just that and like you said it’s giving Bold! It’s giving Audacity! It’s giving I’m here and there’s nothing you can do about it
MJ: What other projects or endeavors are you working on?
Yung Gypsy: I have a few things in the tuck right now that I’m really excited about. I always wanted to co-produce original beats and I had the privilege to accomplish that with these next few track releases. I like the melodic, so you’ll get a taste of that alongside some raw lyrics. You’ll hear classic sounds from the 80’s to the early 2000’s My favs.
MJ: Is there anything else you would like to share with the world about Yung Gypsy?
Yung Gypsy: For those who do not know me I’ve been writing & recording music since I was 15 years old, so this is nothing new to me but definitely something true to me. Shout Out to “Rotation Records” on this up-and-coming project and Look Out for My New Single “Tell Nobody” ft. Jess Cannzie (End of May 2024).

Speaking on the significance of the album title Thirstin Howl The 3rd relayed “I was having lunch in Los Angeles with my friend Abnormal (who was on The Lyricist Lounge TV show with me and was also the voice of Hip Hop Harry on Children’s TV). In the middle of the conversation, he dropped that quote from the Bible and I said, wow, that’s a perfect title for one of my albums.”
Of the recording process he also said “I record music all the time so I’m not necessarily envisioning which tracks will go on a specific project, but I do send specific tracks to artists that I think would sound good on there. However Young Hump was in the studio for all the tracks he appears on (three of them) and Psycho Les and Tash were staying with me in Miami when they were working on The Liknuts project.”
Also coming this year is the long awaited short musical film Don Chicharron which also features Latin Hip-Hop legends Hurricane G (RIP, who was the first female member of EPMD’s Hit Squad), TMP AKA The Microphone Prince (the first latin emcee to sign to a major label),DJ Exes (also of Grupo HNE) as well as Lo-Life affiliate/emcee Luey The 4th.
