[edit] About
Rap duo J-Bo (Jeffrey Ray Grigsby) and Sean P (Sean Paul Joseph) originally named Sean Paul but changed it to avoid confusion called themselves YoungBloodZ. Ever since they studied in Atlanta Miller Grove Middle School the duo have always wanted to become rappers.
Youngbloodz got a contract with LaFace Records. In 1999, the duo had a hit single “U-Way” followed by the hit “85 South” that featured OutKast’s Big Boi and Chris Streng in 2000. YoungBloodZ had a two year hiatus. By the time 2002 came around, they returned with “Cadillac Pimpin’”. It was the single produced by Lil Jon named “Damn!” that scored a major hit. In 2005, YoungBloodZ released their third album, Ev’rybody Knows Me. The following year the two was arrested for weapon and drug charges.
