Santa Ana rapperaka Yung Zay27
17/17Zay27 is a Santa Ana artist who has been releasing music since 2019, starting with the project Planet 27, and was one of the Orange County rappers on Juice Unlocked's first single, "JUMP!" He has kept a steady stream of singles and EPs going since, many under the Moonlight Oasis credit. In 2025 he showed up to the Juice Unlocked Mic Drop in a cowboy hat with a country-rap verse, and the page billed him as possibly OC's first country rapper.
After Planet 27 he followed with the album Beauty in the City 2 in 2020, The Genesis EP and the single "Tattoo" in 2022, and the Just To Let You Know EP in 2024, which later got a deluxe edition. The singles kept coming in between, from "Photos" and "Nice To Know You" in 2023 to "Jet Ski," "Mardi Gras," and in 2026 "WAIT 4 U (DRINK SUM)" and "New Diamonds." Most of that catalog is melodic rap, and he has guested on singles by DUSTYGOTBAND$, ChandlerTheGreat, Fizzex, Lil Dusty and PoloDev.
His history with Juice Unlocked goes back to the start. After the 2019 posse cut "JUMP!" he returned for "Fly Shit" on The 714TAPE in 2022, and Juice ranked him No. 14 on its 2025 list of the top OC rappers of all time. His Mic Drop set, posted to YouTube as "The Most Turnt Country Rapper You Haven't Heard Yet," had about 1,400 views by November 2026, and his SoundCloud, under the name Yung Zay27, holds 18 tracks.
