Young M.A. says she has given up liquor and is closer to GOD now.
Young M.A is a compelling example of an artist who has experienced the challenges inherent in the hip-hop industry. Following the release of the highly successful “OOOUUU,” multiple projects, and collaborations with artists ranging from Eminem to T-Pain, she notably took a step back in 2023. Speculation arose about both her mental and physical well-being, potentially explaining her absence from the music scene. As fans and the industry pondered her whereabouts, she made a return with a new single titled “Open Scars,” providing insight into her journey and explaining the reasons behind her hiatus.
This will probably be the realest s**t Young M.A has ever written. In “Open Scars,” the New York native candidly addresses her struggles with depression, the challenges of losing friends amid her success, and her decision to abstain from alcohol and drugs. The latter point holds particular significance as she has previously discussed her use of Hennessy in her music, marking a significant step in her journey towards inner peace. Despite the emotional depth of the lyrics and the beat, Young M.A maintains her assertive rap style, delivering confident verses with clever punchlines. Overall, if this marks the beginning of a positive chapter for her, count me as a fervent supporter.
My respect for M.A has gone up tremendously.
