Kidd Grape was born Devin Young Jr. in Akron, Ohio, February 11, 2001. He grew up not too athletic so he indulged himself in gaming at a young age. Around his sophomore year of high school, he began making beats on Garage band and playing around with his rap style, experimenting with auto tune and creating diss tracks for his online friends for fun. The story behind his name? Well since his career practically started from his gaming system, his Gamertag at that time was “AverageGrap0867”. Hence the “Grape”, and the “Kidd” was just a prefix he liked!
