A musician not having their life together after years in the business isn’t exactly something new. That’s why so many of them burn out and fade away, relegated to the status of one-hit wonders. The world of rap is no different. But few rappers have wasted more of their prime getting shot or serving time in and out of prison than Chicago artist, King Yella. Whether he’s beefing with Offset over “smashing” Cardi-B, or claiming the cops are out to get him, this longtime member of the Gangster Disciples is as intense, gritty, and aggressive in real life as he is in his music. You know... when he actually gets around to making some. Which, honestly, is all that often anymore. Instead, he’s turned himself into something of a YouTuber and is making a decent living by doing so.
