Young Hollywood

Welcome to Young Hollywood. What's up guys? Leslie Robbins here. Young Hollywood is taking over Miami Beach. We are at the Eden Rock Hotel celebrating the launch of the L Spa and kicking off the festivities is hip hop star Ry Ry.

Rye Rye

If you have any problems with the one you love so much and you want to feel his touch, put your hands in the air, let them know that you truly care. You don't want to do the fuss, getting sick of the no pain. All the lies and the trust games, guessing don't make a difference. And I'm getting fed up so listen up.

Young Hollywood

We're here with Ry Ry. Now you're hitting the stage here at the Eden Rock, but you've done South by Southwest, you've done Coachella. What's it like hitting those main stages?

Rye Rye

Um, it's fun. Once I get on stage, I'm like a whole new person like I just enjoy it so much. What's up, what's up? What's up? Okay, what's up? It's your girl Ry Ry.

Young Hollywood

Now let's talk about you on stage, your videos, you on stage, you're like a little dancer up there.

Rye Rye

It's like a Baltimore thing, you know, I've been dancing since I was younger. So as a um young child, I always wanted to be a dancer. So now that I get the opportunity to make music, it's only right to just be both of them together.

Young Hollywood

All right, we're going to talk about Go Pop Bang. How did you come up with that title?

Rye Rye

Um, we were in the studio and I had recorded bang one of the songs on our album and I just was like when I say Go Pop Bang, like I just said those lyrics and um MYA just as we was doing the song, they were the words that stood out to her. She's like, Ry Ry needs an album name that's very like that goes for it, like describes her and it's just like action words.

Young Hollywood

You mentioned MYA, I have to ask, tell me about your friendship, your relationship with her. I mean how awesome is that?

Rye Rye

Um, it's very great because she taught me all that I know now and you know when I first came into the industry, I didn't know anything. I was brand new and um she took me under her wing and she took me on tour with her. And it it basically made me comfortable in where I am today.

Rye Rye

Wait one second. You're in my Justin mind. Let me take you out tonight.

Young Hollywood

All right, you gotta show me a dance move. You're like the princess of dance. Okay. We're busy dancing. I know. All right, tell me, what kind of fan comes to your shows?

Rye Rye

Um the ones that's not afraid to be themselves. You know, cuz a lot of people um when they're like out dancing, some people won't dance, they're very up tight because they're like if I can't dance, I'm not going to dance. But it's like the people that just don't care, like they're going to dance no matter how they look, they're just going to be themselves. It's sort of like people that's like me, when I hear bass, like I'll just blink out, I'm just like in the mood. I just don't care about nothing.

Young Hollywood

So we have the album, what's next for you?

Rye Rye

Um I might be starting the Katie Price tour on the 15th performing "Never Will Be Mine" with Robin. And I'm just preparing for my album to come out.
