Young Lay

Young Lay (born Lathan Williams in 1975 in Vallejo, California) is a hip-hop gangsta rapper who began his career in the ’90s.
In 1995, he was featured on the soundtrack to the film “New Jersey Drive” with the song “All About My Fetti” which peaked at #50 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Singles chart.

During that same year and before releasing his debut album, Young Lay was shot at point blank range in the head while he was sitting in a car, leaving him comatose for several days. He survived the incident, but his assailant was never found.

In May of 1996 (a few weeks before the release of Young Lay’s debut album), his teenage girlfriend Daphne Boyden was murdered in her home and their newborn child, Le-Zhan was abducted. Due to suspected foul play in Daphne’s murder and Le-Zhan’s abduction, the case was featured on TV shows “Unsolved Mysteries” and “America’s Most Wanted.”
Also in that same year, Young Lay released his debut album “Black N’ Dangerous” on Atlantic Records which peaked at #17 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart and #42 on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart.
His follow-up single from his debut album “Playah’s Mode” was released, but didn’t make the charts at all.
In 1998, he released his sophomore album “Unsolved Mysteries” which was dedicated to his girlfriend and son. It’s unknown how or if the album made much impact. Young Lay was later sentenced to twelve years in prison for a 1999 armed robbery which apparently put his career on hold.

In November of 2002, his son Le-Zhan was found after an anonymous tip was called in which led to the arrest of one of Daphne’s murderers, Latasha Brown who was raising Le-Zhan as her own child. Latasha and her cousin, Ocianetta Williams were arrested for Daphne’s murder & Le-Zhan’s abduction.
In 2003, Young Lay released his third album “Don’t Get It Twisted” (apparently while still incarcerated). It’s unknown how much impact it made at all.
A year later in 2004, he released his fourth album “Young Lay Presents: Lifeline Original Soundtrack.” Like his previous album, it’s unknown how much impact it made at all.

In 2010, Young Lay was released from prison. In 2011, he released the song “True Religion” which also had a music video as well. Since then, not much has been heard from Young Lay and it appears as if he’s faded into obscurity. Not much has been heard from him in quite some time.

Debelah later relocated to Los Angeles, California where she took home a silver medal in the NAACP international music competition. After that, she would sign a record deal with Atlantic Records.

In August of that same year, she released her third studio album, “Dance With Me” which managed to peak at #35 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart.
The follow-up singles from the album: “I Remember” and “Close To You” failed to make any impact on the charts at all.

In 2001, Debelah was featured on the soundtrack to the animated film, “Osmosis Jones” with the track “Why Did You Have to Be?” She also contributed a cover version of the song, “Do You Remember” to the Phil Collins tribute album, “Urban Renewal.”

After that, not much was heard from Debelah, but in 2005, she signed a record deal with independent record label RansomWear and released her fourth studio album (and first gospel album), “Just as I Am” which is now out of print.
In 2010, Debelah released a live album called “Let The Worship In: Champions Live 2” with her Las Vegas church, of which she was their worship leader. The following year, she was slated to have shot a pilot for a reality TV series with R&B singers Shanice and Karyn White which appeared to have not panned out.

In 2012 and 2013, she performed with R&B group Rose Royce as their lead vocalist for a couple of shows. In 2015, she collaborated with R&B\pop group All-4-One on their 2015 album, “Twenty +” on the track, “Go to Bed” (which also featured Shanice).

Since then, it’s unknown what Debelah Morgan is currently up to these days and it appears as if she has faded into obscurity.
