Young M.A Drops 'Kween' After Health Scare

Brooklyn's own Young M.A has unveiled her latest album, 'Kween,' five years after her previous project. The release follows a challenging period for the artist, including a hospitalization in 2023 due to liver complications from alcohol abuse. Now sober, she views the album as a "reset" rather than a comeback, signifying a continuation of her musical journey.

'Kween' was created during a transformative time for Young M.A. She describes the process as a "roller coaster" that required her to refocus on music after navigating personal issues. Recording sober for the first time presented a different creative experience, requiring a more mature and disciplined approach compared to her previous, more alcohol-influenced style.

The album includes features from G Herbo and Tory Lanez, with tracks like "Dancer" showcasing her versatility. Young M.A also expressed frustration with the current rap landscape, which she feels has become too "gossipy" and detracts from the music itself. She aims for 'Kween' to bring the focus back to the art of rapping.

Beyond music, Young M.A has been active in real estate investments and launched a fitness line, KNRTH fitness. She sees these ventures as part of her overall growth and future plans, especially after recovering from her health scare.
