Who is YBC Dul?
Abdul Vicks, better known as YBC Dul, was a rapper and vlogger from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was a prominent figure the Philadelphia gang known as the Young Bag Chasers (YBC), a group of friends that were formed in West Philadelphia.
YBC began to feud with other groups in the area as well as other neighborhoods that made Philadelphia as a whole a ‘warzone’.
