Although the skin sexuality that premeates through most of hip hop images today is definitely not one of her major concerns: Young Shorty is instead making her name as a tough, raw, keeping it real gangsta type rapper with a leaning towards a hardcore attitude with the lyrica skills to pull it off. Born Joann Smith, November 11, 1979 in Louisville, Kentucky, she learned at an early age that she was special when it came to performing.
