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 “Go To War,” 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, “All In,” was his passionate message to the world that he’s putting everything on the line to ensure success. That video has since reached over 3 million views, which led to Ace’s next three follow up singles: “Find Myself” (1.3 million views), “Betrayed” (1.2 million views) and “Gorillaz” (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. That’ll include a slew of new music and visuals, as well as highly anticipated collaborations with NBA Youngboy and JayDaYoungan, who he’ll be touring with in August.
