From Assistant to Rising Rap Star
Karrah Schuster, known professionally as Karrahbooo, is taking the rap scene by storm. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 28, 1997, Karrahbooo’s journey into music has been anything but typical. She first stepped into the industry in 2022 as Lil Yachty’s assistant, but it wasn’t long before she transitioned from behind the scenes to center stage.
From Assistant to Rapper
Inspired by Lil Yachty’s success, Karrahbooo began rapping, and her debut single, "Money Counter," dropped in October 2022, quickly making waves in Atlanta’s vibrant hip hop scene. Her infectious energy and unique style grabbed attention, leading to her signing with Lil Yachty’s Concrete Boys collective in 2023. The same year, Karrahbooo released standout singles like "Box the 40," "Splash Brothers," and "Running Late," solidifying her as a force within the group.
Karrahbooo’s journey with Concrete Boys was brief but impactful. As part of the collective, she contributed to its energetic compilation album, It’s Us Vol. 1, which was released in April 2024. However, by mid-2024, Karrahbooo parted ways with the group under controversial circumstances. Though Lil Yachty confirmed her departure and initially had no negative remarks, tensions escalated publicly. Lil Yachty claimed he had ghostwritten her verses, allegations Karrahbooo vehemently denied.
Musical Style and Impact
Karrahbooo’s rap style is bold, animated, and unmistakably her own. Pitchfork’s Alphonse Pierre described her flow as “sharp and catchy,” while Rolling Stone’s Jeff Ihaza praised the "mesmerizing quality" of her laid-back delivery. Her ability to blend humor with observational punchlines has drawn comparisons to artists like YN Jay, while Complex’s Jacob Moore has noted her natural, down-to-earth charm that resonates with fans.
With rockstar energy and lyrics that boast unapologetic confidence, Karrahbooo’s music reflects her unique perspective. Her viral freestyles and collaborations, such as the hit "Splash Brothers" with rapper Anycia, demonstrate her ability to captivate listeners and leave an indelible mark on the scene.
