Young M.A. Background
Young M.A. dropped her official debut single, "Ooouuu," in 2016. It's now a triple-platinum trap hit that peaked at No. 19 in the Hot 100s and boasts 284 million views on YouTube. She has been killing it ever since.
The Brooklyn emcee (née Katorah Marrero) of Puerto Rican and Jamaican descent began spitting bars at 9 years old, taking cues from 50 Cent's hardcore lyrics yet easy flow. In 2014, she name-checked her borough "Brooklyn (Chiraq Freestyle)," a song that went viral on Facebook for its grim and menacing lyrics.
Yet the 26-year-old is shattering stereotypes as she openly rhymes about her sexual identity (and conquests), a rare move within the aggro-rap scene that's further helping unify LGBTQ artists in hip-hop. Since her breakout debut single, the self-made rapper has gotten plenty of notable shoutouts, like from her hero 50 Cent, who called her "the hottest sh*t out right now" on Instagram.
That respect led the tough-talking veteran to remix "Ooouuu," along with other heavyweights like Nicki Minaj, French Montana, and A$AP Ferg. Beyoncé tipped her hat at the young lyricist when Queen Bey featured the song on her Instagram page. With 2017's ‘Herstory' EP, and a slew of chart-topping 2018 singles under her belt, Young M.A. keeps broadening her appeal. She's already earned nominations for MTV's Artist of the Year and BET's Female Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, and even a feature on the 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30.
Young M.A In Concert
Armed with a gritty, street-style flow and a tough, boyish swagger, Young M.A. (meaning Young Me Aways) has been captivating crowds with her sly-but-chill showmanship. Her potent rhymes, often set against eerie trap atmospherics, caught the attention of 50 Cent, who wrote "I don't like a lot of sh*t but this is Tuff" on social media.
The rap upstart has opened for Beyoncé at the MetLife Stadium and made TV appearances alongside Alicia Keys on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.' In 2019, audiences get to see Young M.A. showcase her linguistic prowess at the Pot of Gold Music Festival along with Lil Wayne, Post Malone, Cardi B, and Young Thug.
It was a great event, but it took her two and a half hours to come out. And the first hour and a half it was low level music nobody knew. So we just stood around. The event said it started at 7 but didn’t actually start until 9:30. Ruined all the vibes.
Took my husband to see Young Ma & I had more fun than he did. We had VIP access. Wish there was music playing while waiting for the general admission people to come in😩. Her vibe on stage was amazing 😉.... The meet & greet was more than what I expected. Young Ma was so nice & so humble & so genuine.🥰🥰.... This was a night to remember.
It was great me and my best friend were right up front and she talked to us a few times. The meet and Great was also awesome.
Best show ever. She came out at 9pm and didn’t stop till about 10:30p; performed all songs a mix of old ones too. The crowd wouldn’t let her finish a sentence. Young MA fan for 3 1/2 years now. I love her so much. Wish the meet and greet packages didn’t sell out so fast.
I just think that the DJ could have cue-in a stronger vibe and yet the DJ had no theme song in relation to the album release. But cool enough
She performed for only 30 mins and I waited for 4 hours I didn’t like it
Only performed for 10 minutes and than it was over I will never attend a event she has ever again so disappointed
This concert was amazing! The concert had an intimate feel and it was held at Kupferberg Center For The Arts in Queens, NY. Young MA did a fantastic job on stage and the view and sound system were great. I really love that the tickets were only $30! Would definitely see another show here again.
It was soo fun I had a great time & I enjoyed myself to the fullest!
It was well organized, fast entrance and the concert was entertaining.
A good party Back always get it in the only thing I would have like was Back and Young Ma would have performed together.
Young MA showed up at 11pm performed for 25minutes and then left, absolute horrible show worst I've ever been to
