Young M.A has been making her way to the top as one of the best female rappers in the game. In fact, Wednesday night (March 15), the “@hennynhoes” headlined the Monster Energy Outbreak House at SXSW, taking the stage after Ugly God, 24Hrs, and Mod Sun. HipHopDX had the pleasure of speaking with her backstage before her set.
The Brooklyn MC recently dropped her latest single “Hot Sauce,” a close follow-up to “OOOUUU.” When asked about this record, she stated, “That’s me. That’s ‘Hot Sauce.’ That’s the swag. ‘OOOUUU’ been established. That’s my swag,”
Being affiliated with Duck Down Music and getting a shout out from Beyoncé on Instagram has landed Young M.A in the gap between underground and mainstream.
She explains how she’s gotten herself in this place, “Just been working hard. I’m versatile. I can spit some bars for you, and then I can make some songs for you. And that’s what it’s about. It’s about just creating and having creativity and having art in you. And just having passion for the music. At the end of the day, I’ve been always spitting, always have freestyles, and then I always made songs. So it’s only right to bring what I knew to the table, you know what I mean?”
Young M.A is continuing to establish herself and is currently working on two EPs, including one titled Herstory, which will have no features.
Catch her opening for 21 Savage on his upcoming Issa Tour.
Fuck this rug munching bitch.
This chick is so hot. She shudda been a bikini model.
Nobody in the underground listen to Young Ma except those from her borough.
I get that someone spent a decent amount of money to promote her and I don’t have any problem with that, but please don’t spread lies…
This is fake news. She has never been underground and never “hot” undergroudn. Shes being pushed by the big labels.
Is this really a chick because she looks like a man?
Young m.a is awesome and she had a million views on YouTube for a long time..She ain’t being pushed or a plant..Yeh hate all yu want cuz she’s proud to be gay..The first to not hide who she is, making history,, when all her managers kept telling her to wear dresses and act like she loved sucking dick. She’s braver than all yu haters. And she was big underground,,the lgbt+ Community IS the most underground community, because haters make some ppl feel they have to be down low..Or get beaten, fired, made homeless, refused healthcare and other discrimination which is still legal in most states, and even if illegal, happens every single day. She’s the realest, plenty other rappers who bare faced lie when they spit. She writes all her rhymes unlike many “real” male rappers. She lives wat she spots and that’s rare. The ones who boast the most are doing it the least, has always been that way. So aim your hate on one of them fakes,,don’t b jealous.
Young M.A, that you?
Hey “Yes”… nobody is hating. How bout pour yourself a tall glass of shut the hell up.
Hello!!! Thank you for sharing herstory Love you,M.A
