“She’s one of the last rappers remaining whose freestyles are appointment viewing. M.A. can slip in and out of conversation with ease, delivers her punchlines in a laid-back, unbothered tone that makes every line sound like street poetry. She moves at a slow pace like she’s giving a sermon, and you lean in to make sure not a word is missed.” – Pitchfork
“Young M.A. is the real mayor of NYC” – Rolling Stone
“Young M.A Is Her Own Biggest Inspiration” – Interview Mag
“The 15-track album strikes a balance between vulnerability and confidence, shaping itself as her most personal release yet. Kween, which she recorded in her home studio with her engineer, opens the door to her world, giving listeners a glimpse of who Young M.A. is away from the spotlight. Each song serves as a reflection of the journey she’s been through over the past few years, exploring her mindset shifts, trials, pains and growth.” – PEOPLE
“the bars remain razor-sharp” – Billboard
“The Brooklyn MC has delivered countless knockout verses.” – REVOLT
Young M.A is known for dazzling with her intricate bars, but she is equally renowned for her ability to start a party. The Brooklyn-born rap star throws down at a private pool party in “B.B.B,” her new music video. Produced by Lil Almighty, “B.B.B.” stands for “bang bang boogie,” the bouncing bass and tolling bells accompanying M.A’s playalistic flexes: “Thick b*tches, not one or two, it’s like six b*tches/And they twerking stilettos with 6 inches/She got a man, but her man can’t do sh*t with it/Don’t compare him to me, that’s a big difference,” she smirks. In the video, M.A presides over a poolside bash, chasing baddies with a super soaker and soaking in the vibes.
“B.B.B.” is a highlight from Kween, M.A’s recently released album. Reflective, yet triumphant, Kween finds M.A processing her pain, working through hardship to emerge victorious over personal demons and industry misconceptions. The title combines the words “king” and “queen,” as used by M.A in a popular 2017 freestyle and for her charitable KWEENZ Foundation. The new album is home to highlights like the boisterous single “Lasagna,” which racked up over 2.2 million views on YouTube since its February release, and “Still Free,” a mission statement that details her personal evolution.
The 15-track album strikes an ideal balance between M.A’s signature tough talk and cucumber-cool maturity. Highlights include “Pressure,” a sinister and heart-pumping duet with G Herbo, “Gyal Dem Rite,” which samples Sister Nancy’s “Bam Bam” and features a guest verse from Tory Lanez, and “Dancer,” a breezy party anthem that draws inspiration from NYC’s red hot sexy drill sound. The new album grows more contemplative in its second half, with songs like “Open Scars,” in which she strikes back at bigots and demonstrates to her doubters that numbers don’t lie, and “Hennessey Medusa,” a comprehensive chronicle of M.A’s health struggles and efforts to overcome alcohol dependency. By the closing song, “MAB Forever,” M.A resolves to make her changes permanent, pledging to trust herself and the MAB as she continues her rise. Kween is available on all platforms via M.A Music / 3D.
Kween arrives amidst a wave of attention from Young M.A, who recently appeared on Club Shay Shay and ABC 7, with recent features in Billboard and People Mag. With Kween out now, M.A looks to reclaim her rightful place atop the game. Stay tuned for much more.

For more than ten years, Young M.A has been one of hip-hop’s most beloved artists, taking over the streets with her quotable missives. Her smash hit “OOOUUU” is one of the defining rap hits of the past decade, going 4x Platinum, racking up over 471 million YouTube views, peaking at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100, and inspiring remixes from every artist under the sun. Even nine years after release, the song can still shut down a function in any city across the country. “OOOUUU” is only a small part of M.A’s story–her catalog has generated more than 3 billion streams, her singles “Big” and “Pettywap” went Platinum and Gold, respectively, and she has released four full-length projects to date (Herstory, Herstory In The Making, Red Flu, Off The Yak). Beyond music, M.A has expanded into acting, with roles in the Emmy-winning TV series Mr. Robot and the acclaimed film The 40 Year Old Version, and gives back to her community via the Kweenz Foundation, which she founded with her mom. Last year, M.A stunned with her viral freestyle for “Went Legit,” a freestyle over the hit G Herbo anthem, performed during Kai Cenat x On The Radar’s Mafiathon and joined Druski on his Coulda Fest tour at the end of 2025.
