Journey
Tshepo Briadan Mthembu, who performs as Yung Silly Coon, is a South African rapper, songwriter, and music producer recognized for his involvement in the country’s modern urban music.
He was born and raised in Johannesburg, where he developed an interest in music while growing up. During his early years in the studio, he focused on songwriting and beat production before moving into recording his own music.
Yung Silly Coon first worked within the hip-hop genre, which shaped his early lyrical and performance style. As South African music evolved, he began exploring Amapiano and other dance-driven sounds, blending rap with rhythmic melodies.

Over time, he released several singles and collaborative tracks. His recordings include “Massive Freestyle,” “Smooth Freestyle,” “New Age,” “Machina,” “Weskoppies,” “Ithuba,” and “Your Time.” He has also appeared on collaborative releases such as “Likhona,” “As’jabule,” and “Icilongo,” where he contributed vocals and creative input alongside other performers.
Beyond his work as a rapper, Yung Silly Coon is involved in music production and studio collaboration. This dual role has helped him participate in multiple projects within the South African music industry. His catalog reflects the influence of Johannesburg’s urban music culture, where hip-hop and Amapiano often intersect.
With continued collaborations and new releases, Yung Silly Coon remains part of a growing group of artists contributing to the development of contemporary South African urban music.
