Born Djuan Hart in the nefarious Bankhead Court housing project, Young Dro grew up the second oldest of his mothers five boys and somewhere amongst the middle seven of his fathers 21 children. Although his mother did the best that she could to keep a roof over their heads, Young Dro spent much of his childhood drifting from one housing complex to the next.
Im from every project, shawty, he remembers. We kept getting evicted. Them folks kept putting us out. I done lived in Perry Homes, Herndon Homes, Bowen Homes, Bankhead, Summerhill, Adamsville. You can drop me off in all the spots barefoot, and Im at home.
