Introduction

Young M.A. is an American professional rapper with an estimated net worth of $2 Million.

Before Wealth & Fame

When Young M.A. was only 1 year old, her father was sent to prison and was later released when she was 11 years old. At the age of seven, her family moved to Chesterfield, Virginia, because her mother wanted them to be as far away from the violence of East New York as possible, and she also wanted her children to get a good education.

During school, Young M.A. started to write down her rhymes, and in 2001, she began rapping for the very first time. Later, her mother bought her a karaoke machine and set up her very first studio in her closet. Her mother and uncle also enjoyed rapping but never pursued it. M.A. did well in school and became involved in basketball and football. She also enjoyed the Air Jordan brand of athletic wear, and her mother often gifted her the latest shoes.

She later became the lead vocalist of a rap group in Virginia called ‘Money Makers’, but soon after relocated once again to Brooklyn, New York, when she was 16 years old.

In 2009, Young M.A. was devastated at the loss of her older brother, who was killed because of gang violence in Pennsylvania. This led her to become severely depressed and stop making music.

Music Career

After high school, Young M.A. worked small jobs to make enough money for a recording studio to pursue her music. In 2014, an American author expressed his dislike towards one of her songs titled ‘Brooklyn’ because he thought it promoted violence, negativity, and black racial killing. However, this only made Young M.A. more popular as the author’s audience quickly ran to see the song for themselves, and the song now has over 12 million views on YouTube.

In 2015, she released her debut mixtape, ‘M.A. the mixtape’, and followed it up with her second mixtape, ‘sleepwalking’, that same year.

In 2016, she dropped one of her most successful singles titled ‘Ooouuu’, which, as of July 2018, has over 266 million views. Since then, she has collaborated with several other prominent rappers, including Young Thug, C.A.S.H., and Dae DAE. She has also been featured on several television programs, including the Wendy Williams show, the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, MTV Woodies, and Verified.
