YNG Martyr

When challenged to a freestyle rap battle in an online video game chatroom, YNG Martyr rendered his peers speechless. Since then, the twenty-one year old, Canberra-based First Nations artist has become a staple of the Aussie Hip-Hop scene.

YNG Martyr’s unique and ever-evolving sound weaves between high-energy trap and stripped-back RnB, each track laced with his signature cadence and unskippable rhythms.

Inspired and determined, YNG Martyr began a high-risk, high-reward social media strategy during which he left his 9-5, took out a $15 000 loan and spent the entirety of the sum on meme accounts to incorporate snippets of his next single ‘Nike Ticks.’ With the track's explosive release, YNG Martyr could put yet another viral hit under his belt, this time taking out Acclaim’s prestigious 2020 Track of the Year and amassing over 56 million Spotify Streams, contributing to YNG’s 140+ million catalogue streams.
