Career and public persona of Shakur Stevenson's partner, Michelle Ragston a.k.a. Young Lyric
While Michelle Ragston's stage name does incite curiosity, the exact origin or the reason for her adopting it is not clear. However, it seems that the 'Young' in her stage name refers to the fact that she started her musical journey fairly early in life. Meanwhile, 'Lyric' potentially alludes to her command over words, as witnessed in the reality show 'The Rap Game.'
According to online sources, Ragston recorded her first song when she was seven years old and performed it on stage that same year. The Houston, Texas native first gained recognition and a dedicated fan base through her original songs posted on YouTube. However, The Rap Game helped her reach a wider audience.
Over the years, Young Lyric has remixed songs from prominent artists such as Lil Wayne, Drake, Kanye West, and Wiz Khalifa. While she has not achieved mainstream superstardom so far, Ragston appears to be working hard to reach there.
