Karla Boo, a next-gen female rapper featuring Lil Yachty.

She originally aimed to be an actress and actually didn’t want to become a rapper, but after working with Lil Yachty in an acting role, she caught that initial spark of hip-hop and launched her career as a female rapper.

Her new track is Running Late.

Though she’s from Atlanta, this one has an old-school New York vibe and a chilled-out feel overall.

Because of how hard Lil Yachty is pushing her, some heads are suspecting, “Isn’t Lil Yachty writing the lyrics instead of Karla Boo?” But if she’s the one writing them, that means her lyrics are remarkably polished for someone so early in their career.

Definitely keep an eye on her going forward!
