Young MA – The Lesbian Hip-Hop singer that everybody talks about

The rapper Young MA made a gig on Christmas eve for free to collect food supply for people in need on the South of Manhattan. This is a different artist, and she’s twisting stereotypes. Young MA is a 24-year-old girl from Brooklyn. She has Caribbean background; she wears clothes that the current American society considers as male clothes.

Her lyrics talks about money, and on her videos she has appeared more than once with a gun. A sample of that is on her video, “Ouuu” which launched her to fame. This can be the description of any rapper from her hood, but the difference is that she is a woman and she is lesbian.

Young MA early years

She was raised in Brooklyn, although her mother took the family to Virginia when she was 7 years old. despite she was living there, she continued to visit Brooklyn periodically, until she made the decision by her own to come back to her hood at the age of 16.

She changed her attitude as a tomboy, who liked to play football and basketball.
A very decisive point down in her life was when she turned 17 when her brother was shot death. She concentrated more on her music because she realized she could end up just like him. She began rapping at the age of 9 years old, and started to upload tracks on Youtube during Summer 2013. Some of these songs names were Levels, Kold World, and OG Bobby Johnson.
