In 2005, Yung Berg worked as a hypeman and recording assistant for Disturbing tha Peace member and Chicago rapper Shawnna. He also appeared in the music video for singer Kat DeLuna's debut single Whine Up.
Yung Berg is one of the the founders of the Yung Boss imprint and production team Yung Bosses, along with JFK and Rob Holladay. In December 2008, Berg began casting "exceptionally stand out beautiful dark skin/brown skin women to showcase beauty of all races" for a potential dating reality show that he would host. However, as evidenced by the trailer for his new TV Show, titled "Back In Business", it will no longer be a dating show.
Yung Berg has previously insulted Miami rapper Brisco on a video podcast. After singer Ne-Yo accused Berg of copying auto-tune vocal style from T-Pain and Lil Wayne, Berg posted a video blog criticizing Ne-Yo.

Yung Berg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saturday 3 o'clock Camille rose shoppin'
6 p.m. flight for more club hoppin'
Landin' in H-town, damn they got it poppin'
The whole party rockin'
Its the young dude, know how we come through
One night in town and we only got one room
Presidential sweet baby girl with the front view
[Chorus]
Said the way that you move
Girl you puttin' it down
Got me stuck in her zone
I cant leave her alone
I gotta have her around
See I don't know about you
Girl you turnin' me on
Gotta a nigga like,
Hold up wait a minute, stop
Its all on you,
Would you be my lover, for one night
I just want to hold you, for one night
I don't want to tease you I just want to please you
If you let me hold you for one night
Would you be my lover, for one night
I just want to hold you, for one night
Gotta a nigga like,
Hold up wait a minute, stop

So what you want me to do

See ill see you in Atlanta when I'm bouncin' through

[Chorus]
[Repeat: x3]

The lyrics to Yung Berg's "One Night" describe a whirlwind evening of partying, shopping, and club-hopping in various locations. The song's protagonist, represented by Yung Berg himself, is trying to persuade a woman to spend the night with him in a hotel room in Houston. He offers her the chance to forget her inhibitions and have a good time, suggesting that he can meet her needs and satisfy her desires. Though the lyrics are straightforward, they convey the sense of urgency and intensity that often characterizes a carefree night out.
The opening line, "hella hoes boppin," has attracted some criticism for its derogatory language toward women. However, the rest of the lyrics suggest that the song is about finding a willing partner for a brief fling rather than objectifying women for entertainment. Yung Berg's use of the phrase "I don't want to tease you, I just want to please you" emphasizes his desire to be a considerate lover rather than a conquest.
