California rapper Yhung T.O is the center of attention in the visual for his single "Hold It Down." The 20-year-old rapper was a member of the SOB X RBE rap quartet from Vallejo, however, back in September 2018 he announced that he was parting ways with the group. "To whom It may concern... No we not fonkin we just on different terms," T.O wrote in a now deleted social media post. "Crazy how you make money and create a new life wit n***as you call brother and in the end, they still disloyal."

Separate from his SOB X RBE drama, Yhung T.O is a vulnerable artist whose autobiographical lyricism connects him with his fans. He hopes to add his name to the list of iconic Bay Area rappers that command respect for the surrounding cities in the region. "See, coming from the Bay Area, bro, there’s a lot of people who are gonna listen to your s**t, slap your s**t, but they not gonna give you your props," he told Spin magazine.
