In the ever-evolving landscape of hip-hop, Milwaukee is emerging as a formidable force, thanks in no small part to the contributions of visionary artists like Damarion Holloway, better known as Ype Mari. At just 17 years old, Mari has already etched his name in the annals of Milwaukee’s music history, paving the way for the next generation of artists to follow.
Mari’s journey began with a dream and a determination to defy the odds. Armed with nothing but a phone and an unwavering passion for music, he started recording and releasing songs at a young age, laying the groundwork for his future success. His decision to launch his own label, YPE (Youngest Paid Entertainment), at 16 was a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit and a bold declaration of his intent to make his mark on the industry.
Collaborating with Milwaukee rap veteran Gwapo Chapo was a turning point in Mari’s career, propelling him into the spotlight and solidifying his status as a rising star. Tracks like “BROKE ASHHH” and “50-1 PT.2” with both tracks produced by @Iamyoungced not only showcase his lyrical prowess but also serve as anthems for a new generation of Milwaukee artists, capturing the essence of the city’s vibrant rap scene.
But Mari’s impact extends far beyond his music. He is a role model and mentor to aspiring artists, offering guidance and support to those who dare to dream big. Through his actions and his artistry, he is breaking down barriers and opening doors for the next wave of talent to emerge from Milwaukee’s streets.
As Milwaukee grows into a hot market for hip-hop, Ype Mari remains at the forefront of this movement, blazing a trail for others to follow. With his talent, tenacity, and unwavering commitment to his craft, he is not just making noise – he’s laying the foundation for a brighter future for Milwaukee’s music scene.
