Young Scooter career
Despite the lack of interest in his debut mixtape Plug Talkin, Young Scooter established himself with his second release, Finessin and Flexin’, and was already working with Future. In 2012, Scooter released two additional mixtapes, Married to the Streets and Voice of the Streetz, which included guest verses by Gucci Mane and Alley Boy and productions by Zaytoven, DJ Spinz, Nard & B, and Da Honorable C.N.O.T.E.
When Scooter released his mixtape Street Lottery in January 2013, it was his big break. It was recognized on XXL’s “Best mixtapes of January” list and was selected “Rap release of the week” by SPIN.
Decatur Dan’s “Colombia” music video debuted on MTV on January 31. In the South, particularly in Scooter’s birthplace of Atlanta, the song became popular. Brandon Soderberg of SPIN categorized it as a hybrid of “Hustlin'” by Rick Ross and “Tony Montana” by Future.
