New York rapper Young M.A has kept her word on dropping new fire to the masses. While the world officially awaits her Off The Yak album to arrive later this month - the Brooklyn native comes through with her Fivio Foreign-featured "Hello Baby" music video.
From gang affiliation appreciation to reminding the M.A.bsters of her preference in women, Young’s newest visual is packed with references. Check out SOHH’s 7 decoded “Hello Baby” scenes.
- Young M.A Still Loves Women
It’s no secret at this point Young M.A hasn’t thought twice about having a thing for men – even if Kodak Black thought he might have previously had a shot. The rap artist previously romantically linked to model Tori Hughes uses both her lyrics and on-screen scenery to remind us she’s still on the prowl for a ride or die chick.
2. Blood Affiliation
In case her all-red fashion drips or decision to put out an album appropriately called Red Flu in May 2020 wasn’t evidence enough, Young M.A is long-associated with the Bloods. She’s just one of endless hip-hop artists including YG, Birdman and Game known for publicly expressing a love for the gang culture. M.A completely surrounds her scenes with notable red colors.
3. Crips Affilation
Who says Bloods and Crips don’t get along? Just like the late Nipsey Hussle and YG, Young M.A proves a couple hometown heavyweights with different gang associations can ride for one another. Fivio Foreign is known for repping Crip life both in his music and clothing attire. Much like M.A, he goes all-out and only shows his scenes in all-blue colors paying homage to Crip life.
4. Visionary Vision
No – VisionaryVision has no connection to WandaVision or the iconic Avenger character – even though the company’s head might be a low-key Disney Plus fan. The film company is director JLShotThat’s and he’s built a huge following for himself with some of the biggest names in the rap scene. From the late Pop Smoke to Lil Tjay and Fivio Foreign and now Young M.A, the portfolio continues to glow up.
5. NYAK
It’s not a prop! Young M.A goes out of her way to show some serious love and attention to her 21 and older viewers. Throughout the video, both Young and Fivio – and the handful of vixen surrounding themselves – engage in ample consumption of the VS Cognac. It normally retails for $21.99 a bottle and “comes from the area that is known today as Grande Champagne cru, its grapes were Folle Blanche and Colombard and this eaux-de-vie is pure and unblended at a natural strength of 41% volume.”
6. Dealer Registration Sticker
Music video shoots frequently use rented cars from luxury dealerships. It’s important to note the registration sticker on the car. If you look closely, you’ll see it expires in May 2025. Four years? Per law, “new dealer purchased vehicles shall be issued a 4-year registration.” That means this Corvette Stingray is a brand spanking new car registered by the dealer this May 2021.
7. Brooklyn Icon
Who is that on the t-shirt? That’s none other than Hall of Fame legend Jackie Robinson, the first Black player in Major League history. The barrier-breaking athlete played for the Brooklyn Dodgers and broke records and the color line. Young M.A, whose real name is Katorah Hortense Marrero, was born in Brooklyn in 1992.
