He first got his feet wet in the industry at the age of 15, when he met D.M.X. X was so impressed with the work ethic and motivation from Berg that he immediately signed him up to his Bloodline Record label distributed by Def Jam; making Berg the first artist signed to the imprint. Only a minor at the time, X shipped Yung Berg to New York and began production on his first LP. Unfortunately Bergâ€™s parents couldnâ€™t see eye to eye with the company so they removed him from the deal and sent him to Thompson Falls, Montana for boarding school.
