Early life[]
Little of Yong's early life has been publicly shared but it is known that during his childhood him and his family were homeless for a small period of his life. Although his parents were able to obtain jobs later on, Nästii lived most of his time from child to young adult under the poverty line.
2013-2014: Morning's Nast & Lord Among[]
Despite the poverty that his household was in Nästii eventually was able to save up enough money to buy a microphone and laptop were he began to create his music. This continued until 2013 when he released his first 5 song EP, "Morning's Nast", where he tried to gain some footing in the rap community. Although gaining attention was slow, people began to take notice and the EP became well-liked in the small platform it was posted in. Riding the wave of publicity Yong began to work on his next project which would turn out to be a full-length album titled "Lord Among". Well-liked once again, his work began to skyrocket in a short time span.
2016: Purple Floewt & Clout Ba$ement[]
In 2016 Na$tii released two full-length albums titled "Purple Floewt" and "Clout Ba$ement". His fanbase continued to grow and after his quick stream of work he self-started his own record and producing label known as Na$tii Studios. In 2016 he also started his work with producer Lil' Pantry, as seen being featured on "Waloo Slow", "Boot DR.ank", "Tip Top Hip Stop", and "Floewtin'".
2019-2020: Calidisinum, Lieste Scoumpi & Incarceration[]
As of 2019 Lil' Big Young Na$tii's pace slowed after his triumphant rise, only releasing two singles over the course of two years with two projects still left in production. On March 4th, 2020, Yong was apprehended by the police after the murder of his ex-wife Abalnaneq Yong and son Jimmy Yong and a shootout a few miles away from the crime scene. Yong has been released on pleads of insanity and large bail funds and says in his recent update video that new music is in production.
Personal life[]
Lil' Big Young Na$tii previously was married to the late Abalnaneq Elna. The couple had only one child and was named Jimmy Yong. Following some complications with Nästii and Abalnaneq's relationship, she decided to divorce Yong, as well as win custody over Jimmy in a dispute. On March 4, 2020, Yong was arrested after reports were made of the individual breaking into the Los Angeles home of his ex-wife and seen carrying his son away with him into the desert a few hours later. After police arrived on the scene they quickly found the body of Elna who had been hit with a large wooden hammer and moved to the bathroom. Following the directions of where people saw Yong go, they found the bludgeoned corpse of Jimmy lying in a canal behind a nearby scrapyard. After these two discoveries the police eventually tracked down Nästii who had been hiding in an abandoned gas station a few miles away from where, after a heated shootout, he was arrested on several accounts of murder. His case was however quickly resolved as he was bailed from prison after about half a year.
Legal issues[]
On March 9th, 2020 only a few days after the murder of Lil' Big Young Na$tii's ex-wife and only child, two other murder cases had been discovered. One, seemingly from the same day of the previous crime, was Manuel Crissos who is assumed to be the cameraman for the music video Lieste Scoumpi where Yong can be seen murdering Jimmy and presumably Manuel as well. The other body discovered was one from back in 2018 where teenager Michael Lorant had been found on the side of the road with several stale breadsticks lodged into his esophagus and crude lettering spray-painted onto his shirt. This case was not assumed to be the work of Yong but with the resurfacing of an old tweet, new evidence has been brought against him. Although they cannot prove 100% legitimacy for this accusation the knowledge of the murder and time of the tweet matches and is still being considered.
