Yungeen Ace Lyrics

Born Keyanta Bullard in 1998, Yungeen Ace spent his early years in Chicago but relocated with his family to Florida in early childhood.

Living in Jacksonville, Bullard experienced daily struggles with abject poverty and a desperate environment, surrounded by danger and street crime as he entered his teenage years.

He began writing and recording solo tracks, releasing his debut single, "No Witness," in March 2018.

Several other singles would follow, but these bright beginnings were darkened in June of that year when Yungeen Ace and several friends were attacked in a drive-by shooting in Jacksonville when leaving dinner. He survived multiple gunshot wounds but would be the only person to make it out of the altercation alive in a group that included his brother Trevon Bullard, and friends Royale Smith, Jr. and Jercoby Groover.

Immediately following the shooting, legal troubles put the rapper under house arrest, and his debut mixtape, Life of Betrayal, arrived in August, with Life I'm Livin arriving later that year.

The first collection included newer songs inspired by his tragic losses -- the standout track "Wanted" featured a cameo from YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

His full-length debut album, Life of Betrayal 2x, arrived in late 2021. -allmusic.com-
