http://www.pushinthebay.com - Young Lay's ALL ABOUT MY $FETTI music video directed by Michael Martin featuring Ray Luv and Mac Mall. Classic Bay Area rap music video.

Lathan Williams (born 1975 in Vallejo, California), better known by his stage name Young Lay, is a San Francisco Bay Area-based gangsta rapper.

He has worked with artists such as Tupac Shakur and Mac Dre, and is known as the father of Le-Zhan Williams, a boy who later was reported missing and was found raised by abductors after they murdered his mother and set fire to the house.

Williams first went public as rapper Young Lay around the same time his family moved to Vallejo. By the age of 16, he and a friend had performed Williams' first song, Don't Touch the Nikes, at the Boys Club, parties or anywhere else they could entertain a group of people, his sister said. "They'd get up and start flowing."

His career took off when his single, All About My Fetti, appeared on volume one of the New Jersey Drive soundtrack in 1995. The Spike Lee-produced film centered on the lives of young car thieves in Newark, N.J. All About My Fetti depicts a group of young men who hold money in higher esteem than all else. With the other songs on the soundtrack, it reflected the street themes of the movie.

The soundtrack linked Williams to more established names from the East Coast rap scene, Queen Latifa, Notorious B.I.G., Coolio, Redman and Outkast. Some of the names were big in 1995, others have grown in stature since. The record went gold, and Williams signed on with Atlantic Records. His father said Williams set out on a tour of both Vallejo high schools as well as campuses in New York, Georgia and Alabama.

Leila Steinberg, who also represented Tupac Shakur, took over the management of Young Lay. Shakur wanted to collaborate with Williams after hearing his music, Steinberg said. The track the two recorded, Got 2 Survive, appeared in June 1996 on Williams' first album, Black 'n Dangerous. When Shakur, who was gunned down in September 1996, recognized a musician's talent, it reflected highly on the artistic value of that performer, Steinberg said.

By the time Williams' career was underway in the 1990s, rap had found mainstream success; there was a national audience and people could make serious money selling albums. West Coast rap has its origins as party music. Some big names came out of California, both northern and southern: N.W.A., M.C. Hammer, Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg.
