D'Juan Hart, Better known as Young Dro is an American Southern rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He performed as Dro from 2000 until he signed to Grand Hustle Records in 2006, when he became known as Young Dro.

Early Years

Young Dro was born Djuan Hart in Bankhead Atlanta, Georgia. Young Dro grew up the second oldest of his mother's five boys and somewhere amongst the middle seven of his father's 21 children. It was during his teen years that he befriended the now Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist T.I. Neither of the two took music seriously at the time. Young Dro didn't even consider a career in music until another one of his friends, Chris 'Daddy Mack' Smith, scored platinum success as one half of early 90s duo Kris Kross. To make his dream a reality, he first hooked up with pioneering southern rapper Raheem the Dream in the late 90s, who at the time had Drama and D4L front man Fabo signed to his local label. By the end of 2002, Young Dro had the city ablaze with his independent hit single 'Yes Sir' and regional hit album 'I Got That Dro.'
