Early life and career

Karrah Schuster [1] was born on March 28, 1997, in Atlanta, Georgia. [2] [3] Karrahbooo worked as rapper Lil Yachty's assistant in 2022, and, looking to start an acting career and inspired by Lil Yachty's career trajectory, began rapping. [4] She released her debut single, "Money Counter", in October 2022, which gained traction in the Atlanta hip hop scene. [5] In 2023, Lil Yachty signed Karrahbooo to his label and collective, Concrete Boys, alongside rappers Draft Day, Camo!, and DC2trill. [6] [7] She released her second single and debut single as a signed artist, "Box the 40", in March 2023. [5] In late 2023, Karrahbooo also posted several freestyles to social media that went viral. Karrahbooo and rapper Anycia released the collaborative single "Splash Brothers" in November 2023. [8] In December 2023, Karrahbooo released the single "Running Late" and was featured on Concrete Boys' single "Mo Jams". [9] [10] The Concrete Boys collective released their debut compilation album, It's Us Vol.1 on April 5, 2024. [11]

In July 2024, after Concrete Boys removed Karrahbooo from their Instagram account's bio and she unfollowed the group's members on Twitter, Lil Yachty confirmed that she had parted ways with the group and that he had "nothing negative" to say about her. [4]

Musical style

Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork described Karrahbooo's rapping style as "animated" and "relaxed" with "sharp and catchy" punchlines, comparing it to that of YN Jay. [12] [13] [14] Rolling Stone 's Jeff Ihaza wrote that she had a "laid-back, rhythmic flow" with a "mesmerizing quality to it". [9] Jacob Moore of Complex described her as having a "down-to-earth nature", "nonchalant style, natural humor, and observational punchlines". [6] For Rolling Out, Rashad Milligan wrote that she had a "rockstar-like energy and boastful lyrics". [5]

Personal life

The month after Karrahbooo's removal from Concrete Boys, in response to a fan's tweet stating that Karrahbooo was upset over being kicked out of the collective, Lil Yachty said in an Instagram Live video that he had written every rap verse she had ever performed and that, while a member of Concrete Boys, she had been verbally abusive toward his security guard and record label associates by calling them poor and threatening to spit on them. [15] Karrahbooo soon disputed Lil Yachty's ghostwriting claims on her Instagram and asked him to "stop bullying [her]". [16]
