The late 2010s and early 2020s ushered in a new wave of female rappers that has changed the landscape of hip-hop.
Oct. 20, 2023 propelled rapper Karrahbooo into the spotlight after her and Concrete Boys’ cypher on “On The Radar Radio.”
“It’s Karrahbooo. I’m not the two. You gotta know I’m up,” Karrahbooo said.
Karrah Schuster, also known as “Karrahbooo,” was born in Atlanta, Georgia in March of 1997. She started as an assistant to Lil Yachty in 2022.
Her first single “Money Counter” was released in October 2022, which attracted attention in the Atlanta music scene.
By 2023, Karrahbooo was signed to Yachty’s label and new rap group, Concrete Boys.
The group released their first and only album to date “It’s Us Vol. 1” on April 5.
As of July, Karrahbooo parted ways with Concrete Boys and Lil Yachty over claims of bullying and unfriendliness.
Suspicions started to arise on social media days before the announcement was made official, as Karrahbooo unfollowed all the members on X, erased the group’s insta from her bio and skipped performing at Broccoli City Festival.
Lil Yachty made the announcement July 29 on Instagram Live: “We have split ways with Karrah. I have nothing bad to say, nothing negative to say to Karrah.”
The departure was nothing but chaotic and drama- filled.
In mid-August, Lil Yachty ranted on Instagram Live disputing claims that he and the other members of the group treated Karrahbooo badly.
“Go ahead and tell people how you verbally abuse people,” Yachty said. “You talk to people like they are nothing.”
Yachty even revealed some damning evidence that he was the ghost writer to her “On the Radar Radio” cypher.
That was disheartening to learn because rap music was built on the foundation of authenticity and being able to write your own bars.
Nowadays, it seems music is a cash grab for people to try and make a quick buck without putting in the work.
With the loss of Karrahbooo, Concrete Boys has felt the effects, especially performing live. During Broccoli City fest, the group performed their songs in a lackluster fashion.
Clearly, the group lost one of its biggest stars and many fans left to just support her now.
Despite all the recent drama surrounding Karrahbooo, she is still an artist that is on the rise and possibly will make it further in her career without Concrete Boys.
In the aftermath, Karrahbooo was featured on a song with Bb trickz called “Pharrell.” She is even working on her first solo album rumored to be titled, “Where’s Karrahbooo?”
Until then, follow her on Instagram, X, SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube to follow her musical journey.
