The music industry continues to buzz about Karrah Schuster, known professionally as Karrahbooo, whose rapid ascent in hip-hop has been matched only by public curiosity about her background and recent career developments.
From Assistant to Rising Rap Star
Karrahbooo began her musical journey in 2022, initially working as an assistant to established rapper Lil Yachty. Her career trajectory changed dramatically when she witnessed Yachty's transition into acting, inspiring her to pursue rap as a pathway to broader entertainment opportunities.
During a November 2023 interview with Montreality, the artist revealed her motivation: "I'm only rapping because I saw Boat doing a movie when I was his assistant, and that's the day I was like, 'I want to be a rapper,' because you can just be an actor from being a rapper if you're fly enough. That's how Boat did it."
Her debut single "Money Counter" in October 2022 quickly gained traction within Atlanta's competitive hip-hop scene, establishing her as an emerging talent to watch.
The Ethnicity Question and Cultural Controversy
One of the most persistent topics surrounding Karrahbooo concerns her ethnic background. The rapper is of mixed ethnicity, though specific details about her heritage remain largely private. While she has reportedly acknowledged African-American roots, she hasn't confined herself to any single cultural identity.
This ambiguity sparked controversy in 2023 when online critics questioned her use of the N-word in her music. The debate intensified to the point where Lil Yachty, then leader of the Concrete Boys collective, publicly advised against her using the term in her songs.
Karrahbooo addressed the criticism on the Safe Space podcast, expressing frustration with the constant questioning of her background. This cultural debate created underlying tension that preceded her eventual departure from Concrete Boys.
Concrete Boys Era and Unexpected Departure
2023 marked a significant professional milestone when Lil Yachty signed Karrahbooo to his label and music group Concrete Boys, alongside rappers Draft Day, Camo!, and DC2trill. As a signed artist, she released "Box the 40" in March 2023 and collaborated with rapper Anycia on "Splash Brothers" later that year.
The collective released their first group album, "It's Us Vol. 1" on April 5, 2024, featuring Karrahbooo's contributions and showcasing her talents within the team dynamic.
However, July 2024 brought unexpected changes when Concrete Boys removed Karrahbooo from their roster. The separation became apparent when the group deleted her name from their Instagram bio and she unfollowed them on Twitter.
Lil Yachty addressed the situation during an Instagram livestream on July 29, 2024, stating: "We have split ways with Karrah... I have nothing to say—nothing bad to say, nothing negative to say about Karrah. I wish her the best in her career. That's that... I don't have anything really bad to say or anything good to say. We just split, you know?... I'm never gonna speak on it again. So that's it... Concrete's still Concrete. And no, we not—no one's replacing her, not looking for another girl."
Karrahbooo's Personal Profile and Current Status
Born on March 28, 1997, in Atlanta, Georgia, Karrahbooo is 28 years old as of 2025 with the zodiac sign Aries. She stands 5 feet 9 inches (175 centimeters) tall and maintains her residence in Atlanta, where she was born and raised.
The rapper, who remains single, has built her reputation on a unique style characterized by nonchalant flow combined with sharp, catchy punchlines. Her hit songs including "Running Late," "Box The 40," "On The Radar Concrete Cypher," and "Money Counter" continue to define her growing discography.
Despite the Concrete Boys separation, Karrahbooo continues to perform and develop her career, as evidenced by her appearance at History in Toronto on November 7, 2024. With her distinctive approach to hip-hop and determined work ethic, the artist maintains her position as one of rap's most intriguing emerging voices.
