Video: Yungeen Ace – “Bad B*tch” (Remix) ft. Blac Youngsta
The Two Rappers Connect for a Dirty South Strip Club Anthem
Critical Praise:
“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:
Flashing superstar-level charisma and a strong sense of drawly melody, Yungeen Ace looks to continue his long streak of bonafide street hits. Breathing new life into his latest single, released last month, Ace recruits Blac Youngsta for the “Bad B*tch” (Remix) and the accompanying music video. A flute-laden trap slapper produced by Dez Wright & Kyle Junior, “Bad B*tch” finds Ace putting the object of his affections on a pedestal, praising her every move in explicit detail. On the remix, Blac Youngsta brings his manic intensity to the fold, packing as many syllables into each bar as possible as he praises his woman for sticking with him through thick and thin: “Blew up and she proud of me/She was by my f*ckin side before them b*tches thought of me.” In the Omar Jones-directed video, which features cameo appearances from 9lokknine and Slayter, Ace and Blac Youngsta saunter their way through a parade of baddies, making their way from the bedroom, to the poolside, to the gentleman’s club.
After breaking onto the scene in 2018 with hits like “Jungle” and “Pain,” and after surviving a tragic shooting that killed his brother and two of his best friends, the Cinematic Music Group-signed Yungeen Ace built a huge wave of momentum heading int 2019. This summer, Ace teamed with fellow CMG-signee JayDaYoungan for Can’t Speak On It, a 9-track EP that racked up over 13 million streams on Spotify alone. Featuring the buzzing single “Opps” (11.8 million YouTube views) and the off-kilter banger “Creep Behind” (3.3 million views), Can’t Speak On It arrived concurrently with a co-headlining national tour, which included performances for Jay and Ace at Rolling Loud Miami. “Bad B*tch” follows up the “Freestyle” video, which earned 4.4 million views on YouTube since its August release.
Stay tuned for much more from the buzzing 21-year-old, including a project coming this fall.

The Background:
Yungeen Ace has built his massive following by standing alone. At 21, 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. In 2018, the rapper recently signed with Cinematic Music Group, a label responsible for propelling key new musical voices into the mainstream.
