“Already, he feels incapable of mediocrity and when the fire flashes – we freeze.” – Passion of the Weiss
“As a young rapper from the talent hotbed that is Florida, Yungeen Ace has found a way to stick out, slowly building a name for himself through his work.” – XXL
“Yungeen Ace borrows melodies from fellow Floridian Kodak Black, meshing his sound with that of NBA YoungBoy’s to tackle a vibe of his own.” – HotNewHipHop
“The pain in Ace’s voice is palpable but is paired with some surprising positivity in the lyrics throughout.” – Elevator Mag
The Video:
Blending effortlessly melodies with emotional realism, Jacksonville’s Yungeen Ace aims to top the charts. Squadding up with another youngin’, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Ace surreptitiously escapes the law in “Wanted,” his latest video. Giving a glossy glimpse into his Jacksonville lifestyle, Ace starts the video by literally washing the blood from his hands, before heading to his headquarters and avoiding the feds during a raid. Premiered by Complex, “Wanted” is the latest video from Life of Betrayal, Yungeen Ace’s debut mixtape, released in August by Cinematic Music Group. “Wanted” quickly follows “Don’t Know Why,” a moving loose video with over 500,000 views on YouTube.
Premiered by Billboard, Life of Betrayal features several buzzing singles including “Jungle,” a poignant banger with an appearance from JayDaYoungan, which garnered over 6.1 million views on YouTube, “Fuck That,” (7.2 million views), “All In” (5.9 million views), and “Betrayed” (2.8 million views). Since the album’s announcement back in June, Yungeen Ace grew his Instagram following up to over 513k followers, growing at rate of over 10k followers per week, and he will release more music as his star continues to rise.

The Background:
Yungeen Ace has built his massive following by standing alone. At 20, the artist born Keyanta Bullard describes his city of Jacksonville as “a jungle.” Originally a Chicagoan, he moved to Duval County, Florida as a child with no friends. Despite 11 brothers, Ace learned fast that if he wanted to survive, he could only rely on himself. “It’s hard out here. Everything we do, we gotta fight for it. We’ve got to go above and beyond just to make it. The surroundings are crazy. It’s a creep city. Nobody is for you out here, so you have to be really for yourself.” In June of this year, Ace was the lone survivor when a car he was riding in was ambushed by a drive-by shooting on Town Center Parkway. Three friends died. Just freed after a bid, the moment was a painful and chilling reminder of the violence epidemic for Ace. It was a dark spot in an otherwise upbeat time. The rapper recently signed with Cinematic Music Group, a label responsible for propelling key new musical voices into the mainstream. With his debut mixtape Life of Betrayal having dropped this past August, Ace is next.
