“With a distinct talent to match a building buzz, youāll be seeing Yungeen Ace sooner rather than later” –Ā RESPECT Mag
The Announcement:
Combining classic southern-fried beats with a new school melodicism and an appealingly drawly delivery, Jacksonville’sĀ Yungeen AceĀ channels his troubles into well-crafted rap songs. Delivering warning shots to all comers who try his patience, Yungeen Ace airs a list of grievances onĀ “Demons,” his latest single. Though he tries to lead a peaceful existence, Yungeen Ace finds himself provoked by snitches and overconfident wannabes–“Demons” finds the rapper wrestling with his conscience, channeling his anger into rapidfire bars. Premiered byĀ The FADER, “Demons” is a low-key slapper, drenched in warped church organ, warm electric keys, and halting, syncopated percussion. In the video, Ace ruminates under red light, dancing alone and staring at candles, haunting his own house with his dark thoughts.
“Demons” comes hot on the heels of Ace’sĀ “Jungle,”Ā a poignant banger with an appearance fromĀ JayDaYoungan, which garnered over 1 million views on YouTube. “Jungle” is a highlight from highlights fromĀ Life of Betrayal, Ace’s debut project. Featuring hit singles like Ā “Fuck That,” which has over 3.8 million views on YouTube, “All In” (4.4 million views), and “Betrayed” (1.9 million views), and boasting an appearance fromĀ NBA YoungBoy,Ā Life of BetrayalĀ releasesĀ August 3rdĀ viaĀ Cinematic Music Group.
Building up a profile with his crafty songwriting and expressive vocals, Yungeen Ace won the respect of many of his peers, ranging from superstarĀ NBA YoungBoyĀ to deep south veteranĀ Mista Cain. In 2018, Yungeen Ace started to build a sizable fanbase, earning millions of views on his music videos. In June, Yungeen Ace’s meteoric rise took a dark turn when he and three friends, including his brother, wereĀ attacked in a drive-by shooting. Though he attempted to shield his brother from the hail of bullets by using his own body, getting shot 8 times, as heĀ told his 329k Instagram followers, Yungeen Ace was the only survivor of the shooting. After spending weeks recuperating in the hospital, Yungeen Ace has a new lease on life, and he intends to turn the tragedy of his brother’s and his friends’ loss into artistic triumph. Look for more music from Yungeen Ace to come this year.

The Background:
Keyanta Bullard, better known as Yungeen Ace, is a talented 20-year old hip-hop artist making an early splash in the industry. Born in Chicago and raised in Jacksonville, FL (Duval County), Ace and his crew, the Yungeen Gang, have been recording and releasing music for a couple years now cultivating a loyal fanbase that supports their every move. Having experienced a lot of hardships growing up, Ace took his impressive skillset and contagious passion and put it all towards his music.
The first big moment for the southern spitter came in January of 2017 when the Yungeen Gang released a video titled āGo To War,ā which ended up raking in over a million views (currently at 1.8 million) soon after its release. That pivotal moment gave Ace and his team the confidence to keep going. From there, the young and hungry rappers released multiple songs and videos adding to their fanbase by the day. By 2018, Ace had signed a deal with Cinematic Music Group and went on to release a slew of new singles to start the year. The first single, āAll In,” was his passionate message to the world that heās putting everything on the line to ensure success. That video has since reached over 3 million views, which led to Aceās next three follow up singles: āFind Myselfā (1.3 million views), āBetrayedā (1.2 million views) and āGorillazā (462,000 views).
All of these single releases earned Ace a ton of major press looks including coverage and support from the likes of Complex, HipHopDX, ELEVATOR, Miss Info, and so many others. In April and May of 2018, Ace gave two very in-depth interviews with both Vlad TV and MyMixtapez, explaining everything from how he grew up, to how he maneuvered into the rap game and much more. With about half of 2018 left, you can expect a lot more excitement from Yungeen Ace. Thatāll include a slew of new music and visuals, as well as highly anticipated collaborations with NBA Youngboy and JayDaYoungan, who heāll be touring with in August.
