Kenneth Edward Bailey (born March 28, 1986 in Walterboro, South Carolina), commonly known by his stage name Young Scooter, is an independent Atlanta rapper who is affiliated not only with Future's Freebandz imprint but Gucci Mane's 1017 Brick Squad label as well. At the age of 9 he was forced to adjust to the fast life of the inner city when his family moved to the notorious Kirkwood Community (a.k.a. "Lil Mexico") of Atlanta, Georgia. In 2008, after he was charged with drug trafficking, Scooter decided to start pursuing a career in music.
