Young Dinero: the Caribbean drill rapper behind Shatta From Birth

Published October 20, 2026

Young Dinero is a rapper whose catalog, documented from 2021 to 2025, stands where Caribbean drill, shatta and the Dominica bouyon scene meet, without any public biography saying who he is or exactly where he comes from. His name travels first as a collaborator of prod.bysavion, producer Savion Augustine: Augustine writes, produces or co-writes his most identified records, from “DATL4L ANTHEM” in 2022 to “Bikelife Class” in 2025. Between those two points sit an EP, “Dreams & Bricks”, a fifteen track album, “Shatta From Birth”, and a run of singles where the same names keep returning, Kxng Jxy, Delly Boss, DiYoute and Trippy 767. This profile follows that catalog record by record, separates this artist from his American namesakes, and states plainly what the sources do not allow anyone to know.

One name, one catalog, no biography

The public file on Young Dinero fits on one artist page and a set of song pages. The Shazam artist page files him under Hip-Hop/Rap, counted 1,151 identifications in total when it was opened, and publishes no biography, no town and no captioned photograph. Its similar artists, though, draw a precise territory: DiYoute, Savion Beats, NFL TG, Young Swagg, Real Reel and SupaLyne, in other words the rap and bouyon circle of Dominica and its close diaspora, the circle this site documents in its profiles of the current wave producers and singers.

Three clues inside the catalog confirm that anchoring without turning it into a birth certificate. The 2022 single “city boyz” credits Trippy 767, and 767 is the telephone area code of Dominica, a code the island artists carry in their names like a signature. The 2023 album holds “West indies”, the Caribbean in the title itself. And as early as the 2021 EP, the record “Caribbean Drill” gives the project its claimed label: inside the song, the artist calls his own style Caribbean drill. No source names his village or parish, and this profile assigns him none.

The name itself demands a vigilance this profile applies from this first section on. Young Dinero is also the name of an American rapper on the Ice Age label, in the circle of Mike Jones, whose mixtape “FACE YOUR FEAR” was reviewed in January 2013, and the close name Young Dinero Banks belongs to a New York trap rapper. The last section of this profile shows, catalogs in hand, that those artists share no records, no collaborators and no labels with the Young Dinero of this page. Everything that follows concerns only the artist of the Caribbean catalog, identified by one continuous thread: the presence of Savion Augustine.

For Savion Augustine, known as a producer under the name prod.bysavion and as an artist under Savion Beats, is the constant of the file. He co-writes “DATL4L ANTHEM”, he is credited on “Dog life”, he produces and hosts “Toxic” and “Bikelife Class”, the two Savion Beats records where Young Dinero sings as a guest and which sit among the most streamed songs on his page. On a scene where biographies are missing, credits act as an identity card: Young Dinero card reads studio rapper, held by a house producer and a small circle of recurring voices.

“Dreams & Bricks”: the 2021 EP that lays the base

The first referenced release in the catalog is the EP “Dreams & Bricks”, published on November 4, 2021 according to its album page on Shazam. Five records only, but each one lays a piece of the machine. “Blak Suga” opens with Delly Boss and Kxng Jxy as features, “Set Back” takes Kxng Jxy alone, “Pole” invites Triszy, “Up Next” stays solo, and “Caribbean Drill” closes the EP with the project manifesto title. Two of the five records are collaborations with the same pair of voices, and that pair will structure the three following years.

“Caribbean Drill”, whose lyrics can be read on lyrics pages, is the statement record. In it the artist tells of a hard childhood, the street, loyalty to his own people, a lost cousin, and the will to feed his family, before naming his style: Caribbean drill. This profile does not treat those lyrics as a biography, a rap text is not a civil record, but it keeps what they establish: from 2021 the project thinks of itself as a Caribbean drill project, written in English, and not as sung bouyon. Young Dinero place on this site rests on his network, his producer, his guests and his shatta titles, as much as on his own genre.

“Up Next”, the solo record of the EP, had a measurable afterlife: it still appears in the most streamed list of the artist page, alongside records from 2022 and 2025. That is a useful catalog fact, because it shows the EP is no mere draft: its two most carried records, “Blak Suga” and “Up Next”, open the most streamed lists recorded during this research, ahead of several more recent singles. The formula is therefore set early: a core of three voices, Young Dinero, Delly Boss and Kxng Jxy, and short records built for streaming.

2022: the year of the singles, from “Shatta Flow” to “DATL4L ANTHEM”

The year 2022 is the year of controlled spread: six lead singles, no album, and a network widening record by record. “city boyz” invites Trippy 767, “Street Voice” comes out solo, “Prrt” invites DiYoute, the producer and singer of the Dominican bouyon wave, “Shatta Flow” claims the shatta vocabulary in its title, and “No Awards” takes Kxng Jxy again. The word shatta, which names the Martinique and Guadeloupe branch of dancehall tinted with bouyon, therefore appears twice in the catalog as early as 2022, before giving its name to the album of the following year.

The best documented record of the year is “DATL4L ANTHEM”, with Delly Boss and Kxng Jxy, released on March 9, 2022 on 3428797 Records DK, in English and at 70 BPM according to its Shazam page. Its credits page is the richest of the file: four writers are named there, Ashla A Ducreay, Delroy victor, Joel Lebron Theophille and Savion Augustine. It is the only page in the catalog that names the full writing team in this way, and it confirms in writing the place of Savion Augustine from the very start of the story, one year before the album and three years before “Bikelife Class”.

The label of these releases deserves one line, because it tells the mode of manufacture. 3428797 Records DK is a digital distribution banner of the DistroKid type, an account number rather than a house with a catalog and a press officer. Young Dinero therefore releases independently, through the aggregators, like most of the new Dominican scene. That explains both the regularity of the releases, six singles in one year, and the total absence of a classic promotional machine: no press kit, no interview found, no aggregator biography picked up by the platforms.

“Shatta From Birth”: the 2023 album, fifteen records in a closed circle

On March 29, 2023, according to the album page, “Shatta From Birth” comes out, the only album in the catalog, again on 3428797 Records DK. Fifteen records, and a guest list that reads like the directory of the circle: Loonie Vuitton and Tazzy 2.0 on “Gang”, Nawizi and Young swagg on “Gang way”, DiYoute on “Pushin P’z”, Delly Boss, Kxng Jxy and Dapp Deh Youngin on “My turn”, Kxng Jxy alone on “West indies”, Keks Mafia on “Baddiana”, Ras D and tha WizZarD on “Rambo”, Real Reel and Savion on “Dog life”, and Trixx ZR on “Maxx”. Around those collaborations, five solo records carry the album: “2More”, “Truth”, “Baby”, “Letter To Kash” and “Trap Poem”.

The album title is a statement of musical identity, and this profile reads it as such, without turning it into a biography. Shatta from birth: the artist ties his rap to shatta culture, the French speaking Antillean branch of dancehall that shares its riddims, its DJs and part of its audience with bouyon. The move is consistent with “Shatta Flow” the year before and with the presence of DiYoute, who comes from bouyon, on two projects in a row. Young Dinero does not sing bouyon in the strict sense, he raps next to bouyon, in the same ecosystem of studios and producers, and his album claims exactly that in its very name.

In the streaming lists of the artist page, the album durably supplies the head records of the catalog: “DATL4L ANTHEM” predates it by a year, but “2More”, “My turn” and “West indies” sit among the most streamed records of the artist, and “Rambo” appears in the most streamed lists recorded during this research. A fifteen track album on an aggregator, with no official video found and no campaign, which keeps feeding the streaming lists three years later: it is the centre of gravity of the catalog, and the reason this profile carries its name in the title.

The Savion Beats circle and the 2025 singles

After the album, the catalog tightens around two formats: lead singles and guest spots with Savion Beats. On the guest side, “Toxic” and “Bikelife Class” carry Young Dinero as a feature on Savion Beats records. The page of “Bikelife Class”, released on July 19, 2025 on 1527492 Records DK, in English and at 137 BPM, with 267 identifications counted when it was opened, gives the full credits: Young Dinero is a rap performer and a writer on it, Savion Augustine is writer and producer. It is the most recent collaboration record in the file, and it ranks among the most streamed songs on the Young Dinero page.

On the singles side, the year 2025 lines up five releases: “Zone”, published on May 11, 2025 according to its single page, “Darth vader”, “Street Life”, “FMBM freestyle” and “Growing up”, with Yayo as a feature, presented by Shazam as the most recent release in the catalog at the time of research. “Street Life” sits among the most streamed records of the artist, which makes 2025 an active year and not only a year of collaborations. No new album is referenced after “Shatta From Birth”, and no 2026 record appears in the catalogs consulted.

The Savion thread also ties Young Dinero to the rest of the scene this site covers. Savion Augustine produces for Shelly and Signal Band, records songs with Trilla-G, and holds this site prod.bysavion page, where his role as a passer between soca, bouyon and rap is documented. Young Dinero is one of the recurring rappers of that passer: four collaborations verified by the credits, “DATL4L ANTHEM” in writing, “Dog life” as a feature, “Toxic” and “Bikelife Class” with Savion Beats. In the current Dominican wave, where bouyon soca and street rap share the same studios, that kind of loyalty to one producer works as a form of identity card.

American namesakes, and the limits of the public record

What remains is the most frequent confusion, which this profile settles through the catalogs. A first Young Dinero, American, is profiled as early as February 2013 by Conversations Magazine: an artist on the Ice Age label, in the wake of Mike Jones, he had just released the mixtape “FACE YOUR FEAR” and communicated under the contact youngdinerola, pointing to Louisiana. None of his records, neither the mixtape nor the Ice Age label, appears in the Caribbean catalog, and no Caribbean record appears in his chronology, which predates “Dreams & Bricks” by eight years.

A second close name, Young Dinero Banks, belongs according to Viberate to a hip hop and trap artist from New York, author of “Late October”, “Turned Savage” and the album “Vibes Only, Vol. 3” in 2020. Again, zero overlap: no Kxng Jxy, no Delly Boss, no Savion Augustine, and no shared record. Streaming platforms sometimes mix these namesakes in search results, and lyrics pages attribute to the name Young Dinero texts that do not all belong to the same catalog. The rule of this profile is therefore strict: only the records tied to the Shazam artist page of the Caribbean catalog, to its EP, to its album and to its listed singles, are counted here.

The limits of the file are clear and this profile states them. No source consulted gives the birth name of Young Dinero, nor his home community, nor his age, nor a verified social account, nor an interview. The figures quoted, 1,151 identifications for the artist and 267 for “Bikelife Class”, are those counted at the time of research and will keep moving. If the artist one day publishes a biography or an official account, this profile will be completed and dated. In the meantime, listening follows the verified thread: “Caribbean Drill” and “Blak Suga” on the EP, “DATL4L ANTHEM”, “Shatta Flow” and “Prrt” for 2022, “West indies”, “2More”, “My turn” and “Rambo” on the album, then “Bikelife Class”, “Toxic” and “Street Life” for the recent period, and the context is read in our bouyon playlist.
