Mexican rapper YSV Simba amplifies his culture through music
The Midwest continues to set the agenda for music. From the heavy impact of Drill, to the embracement of viral collaborations, it’s the region pushing the culture. Another key point, is the love for community. One artist in particular is using his community to paint a vivid picture. Mexican rapper YSV Simba is amplifying his culture through music. Showcasing detailed lyricism with a midwest flare, he’s already an international star.
Born and raised in Chicago’s Marquette Park neighborhood on the Southside, he is proud of where he came from. Despite his admiration for his city, it was the struggles he faced that fueled his creativity more than anything. Highlighting both the black and brown communities, his music connects on multiple levels. His musical journey began in 2019, with multiple releases. Singles like “Slight”, “Waste of Time”, “Struggle” and the album 1997 gave hip-hop a brand new perspective.
Further pushing the boundaries of the genre, he began collaborating with both U.S and international artist. YSV Simba’s catalog includes singles with Mexican artist Money Oh, Kidd Felix, Plack One and PIG BOI PAPI. Spain artist Luis F3r Rap3’r & Yung SSay. Argentina artist Cowak and Alaskan artist Prince Red K. The latin sensation has also worked with producer Spike Trap, who famously worked with NBA Youngboy and Kodak Black.
As 2023 continues, YSV Simba is ready to expand his brand further than before. With a list of future collaborations, new visuals and sold out shows, he’s taking black and brown culture to international heights. Follow YSV on Instagram and all platforms @ysv_simba now!!
