single "Ooouuu". Young M.A was born in 1992 in Brooklyn , New York . At the age of 9, she began rapping. Over the next nine years, she was residing in Virginia , although never staying in one place for long, moving to several cities while in the South. At the age of 16, she moved back to Brooklyn.
Young M.A started rapping by a corner store when she was young after a few years her music career started , when she was self-funding its recording studio with local record producers , after she was working at Shake Shack and T.J. Maxx. [4] In 2014, she gained notoriety, when a Facebook post criticizing her song, called "Brooklyn Chiraq" that went viral. [5] The post's author, pundit Boyce Watkins, said the song promoted "violent, negative, genocidal energy", but the controversy expanded Young M.A's name recognition and brought in some new listeners to her work. [3] In 2015, Young M.A released a new song, called "Body Bag", which became a "YouTube hit" said Rolling Stone, [5] along with the release of her mixtape, called Sleep Walkin ', which MTV describes as a "thoughtful debut project".
In 2016, Young M.A released her official debut single, called "Ooouuu", [4] which peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. [7] In September 2016, the song nearly had 7 million plays on Spotify [8] and was widely remixed, with other rappers and hip hop artists such as French Montana, Remy Ma, Jadakiss , Uncle Murda , ASAP Ferg and Tink , who all of them were putting out their versions to that song. [3] At Stereogum , Tom Breihan said "Ooouuu" was "a brash, intense, hard-as-fuck piece of rider music...the song feels like it marks the arrival of a major rap talent." [9]
The Fader said Young M.A has "establishe[d] herself as a quintessential New York MC", [10] and at MTV, Doreen St. Félix said, "This summer, the atmosphere belongs to Young M.A and her single 'OOOUUU.'" [6] The song's popularity drew attention from labels, [11] though M.A remains an independent artist.
At the 2016's BET Hip Hop Awards , she did a freestyle on a cypher and performed her single, "Ooouuu", giving what XXL Magazine described as "show-stopping freestyle...one of the best freestyles of the night"; despite the enthusiasm for her performance, Young M.A expressed disappointment, saying BET cut out a portion of her performance.
In 2016, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Young M.A said she'd been offered the role of Frieda Gatz on
Empire , but turned it down, preferring to pursue her own career as a rapper instead of being known first as a fictional character.
Young M.A is a lesbian, a topic that she includes in her music. She told Vogue that coming out had been an important point in her artistic development, saying "I held in being sexually attracted to women for so long that once I got that out of me, the music became easy."[3] On September 26th 2009, her brother was murdered by a member of his own gang. She is of Puerto Rican and Jamaican descent.

Oh, this what we doin'? Alright
Uh
Took the cold out my heart, went and put in on a watch (ooh)
Middle finger hangin' out the Benz, feel like Pac (uh)
Spittin' on your cameras, bandana with the knot
Competition lookin' for me, I was waitin' at the top (uh)
Didn't mean to flex on niggas, wasn't my decision (wasn't my decision)
God told me, "Do it," so I did it on 'em (so I did it on 'em)
And hoes gon' be hoes, I ain't trippin' on 'em (I ain't trippin' on 'em)
Niggas dyin' to beat me, so I'm livin' on 'em (so I'm livin' on 'em)
And since they wanna pay attention, I'ma bill it on 'em (I'ma bill it on 'em)
I don't feel her like she feel me but I'm feelin' on her (feelin' on her)
She thought the sky was falling when I dropped the ceiling on 'em
Then she went and dropped her panties
Fuck your hard, I want a Grammy
Don't take Molly, don't take Xannies but it's weed inside the pantry
I get high to get by, she gon' low 'cause she my ho
Shoutout Reen, that's the bro, ayy
Shoutout to my motherfuckin' woes
Uh, we ain't ever home, we on the road
Ain't no lettin' up and catchin' up, we on the road
Uh, pull up in that (skrrt, skrrt)
Hop up in that (brrt, brrt)
Cameras out, hol' up, let me pose (ooh)
Pretty motherfucker, put me on the front of Vogue (ooh)
Niggas tryna be the bro but they don't know the code (no)
I put her in history and sold around the globe (around the)
This about to be the greatest story never told, nigga, huh? (Never told, nigga)
If you ain't know, then now you know, nigga, huh?
I wasn't welcome, I imposed, nigga, huh? (I imposed, nigga)
I put this dick inside her soul, nigga, uh (I put this dick inside her soul)
Just to get up under niggas' skin
Fuckin' with the same sex, they say it's a sin (huh?)
But I'm a dyke and she a femme, it's a synonym (Ooh)
Puttin' M&Ms in the blik'
Then I go and buy a pack of M&Ms, nigga, let's get it
Took the cold out my heart, went and put in on a watch
Middle finger hangin' out the Benz, feel like Pac
Spittin' on your cameras, bandana with the knot
Competition lookin' for me, I was waitin' at the top
But ain't no competition, ain't no one in my position
Didn't mean to flex on niggas, wasn't my decision
God told me, "Do it," so I did it on 'em
And hoes gon' be hoes, I ain't trippin' on 'em
I don't feel her like she feel me but I'm feelin' on her
She thought the sky was falling when I dropped the ceiling on 'em
Niggas dyin' to beat me, so I'm livin' on 'em
And since they wanna pay attention, I'ma bill it on 'em
Let's get it
