Born and raised in the Peach State, life in ‘The A’ is not all Young M.P. knows. But don’t be fooled. Unlike the grimy, gritty stories that come out of the city, Young M.P. prep school experience and super-involved parents have allowed him to flourish in childhood and truly explore and enjoy all of the freedom that comes with that exploration.
