Mission Viejo rapper Yola Baby on South OC being 'soft': 'I'm undefeated'

A two-video post. The first is an interview clip: Yola Baby, in a black beanie and red-tinted sunglasses, sits on a couch next to the interviewer in a room with a framed Lakers No. 34 jersey and Street Fighter II and Simpsons arcade cabinets, and answers questions about being from Mission Viejo and South OC's reputation. The second is his Juice Unlocked Music Mic Drop, where he raps under a hanging orange microphone in purple light; the audio is the song itself.

Mission Viejo rapper Yola Baby had a short answer for people who call South Orange County soft: try him.

Juice Unlocked posted the clip from its latest sit-down with the artist, who goes by @mr.uncurvable on Instagram, on July 1, 2025. The post was tagged in Mission Viejo.

Repping South OC

Asked what part of OC he comes from, Yola Baby said Mission Viejo. Then the interviewer asked what he had to say to people who hate on South OC.

"You're not gonna come up to me and tell me that I'm soft because I'm from Mission Viejo," he said, adding that nobody has tried it yet. "Come give me my first L, because I'm undefeated."

When the interviewer asked who the most popular artists out of South OC are, he didn't name anyone else. "Nobody," he said. "It's just me."

“You're not gonna come up to me and tell me that I'm soft because I'm from Mission Viejo.”
