Origins

[edit]

In 2024, Young An-Dy was a student enrolled in Dual-Credit Kansas State University US History at Manhattan High School.[4] He was given a task by his teacher, Kent Hildebrand, to create an iMovie project focused around a notable figure in early US history, Andrew Jackson.[4] An-Dy began by brainstorming and writing the lyrics to a parody of Young MC's track, Bust a Move. In An-Dy's version, he details important events in Andrew Jackson's presidency including the Bank War and the Indian Removal Act. Young An-Dy went on to record his version of the lyrics over the backing track to the original song. He used the recording studio at K-State's Hale Library Innovation Lab Studio and recorded solo. Then, he got his brother Young Mat-Ty to help film dubbing at notebly locations around the Manhattan area such as CiCo Skatepark, Aggieville, and a railroad near Griffith Park.[3] Finally, he edited and released the track synced with the dubbed video to YouTube on Nov, 3 2024.[3]
