Earlier this year Young Izz won Coast 2 Coast: New York Edition and was elected to compete as a finalist for $25,000 in Miami. Although he didn’t win the competition, in the end, he’s still charging ahead. “Not winning showed me a lot about myself that I do have what it takes for this,” he says only a month after the loss. “If I don’t give up I can do it.”
