Who Is YBCDul?
YBCDul was a rapper and vlogger from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was a prominent figure the Philadelphia gang known as the Young Bag Chasers (YBC), a group of friends that were formed in West Philadelphia.
YBC began to feud with other groups in the area as well as other neighborhoods that made Philadelphia as a whole a ‘warzone’. YBC made contributions to the 1,930 deaths in Philadelphia from 2019-2022. Most recently, 22 year old Arshad Curry, better known as YBC Curry, was sentenced to 42-85 years after he was found guilty of three murders in 2021
When the fued initially began, YBC wasn’t a music artist. YBC Dul’s first song ‘Op Shoppin’ was posted on Youtube in 2022. It was at this time, YBCDul wanted to take his first hand accounts of murder, and utilize his storytelling ability to make music.
He quickly became a YouTube sensation for his dark lyrics in which he “dissed the dead”, highlighting multiple slain teenagers in his songs. YBCDul painted graphic lyrics about the slayings of his ‘opps’ throughout Philadelphia and was seen on video at a graveyard allegedly digging up one of his enemies’ body . This scornful behavior brought a buzz to his other moniker ‘Mr. Disrespectful’.
