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. She released her debut single, "Money Counter", in October 2022, which gained traction in the Atlanta hip hop scene. In 2023, Lil Yachty signed Karrahbooo to his label and collective, Concrete Boys, alongside rappers Draft Day, Camo!, and DC2trill.[4] [5] She released her second single and debut single as a signed artist, "Box the 40", in March 2023. 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.[6] In December 2023, Karrahbooo released the single "Running Late" and was featured on Concrete Boys' single "Mo Jams".[7] [8] The Concrete Boys collective released their debut compilation album, It's Us Vol.1 on April 5, 2024.[9]

In Late July, Karrahboo unfollowed all her labelmates which started rumors of her departure from Concrete Boys. Later that week Lil Yachty confirmed her departure as well as his best wishes for her and her career. Subsequently after news broke, tweets from Karrahboo were recovered alluding to her intent to leave saying that if it weren’t for her team she “wouldve BEEN left”.

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.[10] [11] [12] Rolling Stones Jeff Ihaza wrote that she had a "laid-back, rhythmic flow" with a "mesmerizing quality to it". Jacob Moore of Complex described her as having a "down-to-earth nature", "nonchalant style, natural humor, and observational punchlines". For Rolling Out, Rashad Milligan wrote that she had a "rockstar-like energy and boastful lyrics".[13]
