Yung Ralph on His $52K Smile, 20 Years of “Look Like Money,” Becoming a Grandfather & Staying Humble

‘I Don’t Want Them Big Ass Teeth Man” ~ Yung Ralph

Yung Ralph returns for a new episode of Skipping Class presented by The Progress Report! After his first solo interview with us in 2020 and returning alongside Yung L.A. in 2025, the Atlanta veteran catches up with Lalaa Shepard about life, music, longevity, and everything that has changed over the years. Ralph speaks on removing his signature golds for a $52K smile, making major lifestyle changes, Fetty Wap motivating his fitness journey, and unreleased music they have together.

Ralph also reflects on 20 years of his street classic “Look Like Money,” reconnecting with Rick Ross at New Music Mondays, the business behind his music, and his unofficial remix of Yung Miami’s “Spend Dat” while discussing the backlash surrounding her original song. He reflects on Angie Stone, Bigga Rankin, Alley Boy, and Young Scooter, weighs in on who popularized the word “juug,” and opens up about fatherhood, recently becoming a grandfather, and his relationship with South Carolina women’s basketball star Raven Johnson. He also discusses reconnecting with Plies through Raven’s mother, Kia, Dawn Staley, and the growing popularity of women’s sports.

After surviving multiple eras of Atlanta music, Yung Ralph explains why he continues to stay in his own lane, remain humble, and move differently as he gets older. Watch the full episode on TPRMediaGroup.com and YouTube, or listen to The Progress Report on your preferred streaming platform.
