Keyanta Tyrone Bullard (born February 12, 1998), also known by his stage name Yungeen Ace, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter.[4][5] He gained recognition in the hip-hop industry for his distinct, emotive lyrical content often reflecting his personal experiences with street life and gang violence.

Bullard is best known for his 2019 single "Opps" (with JayDaYoungan), which received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), along with his 2018 song "Pain" and 2021 single, "Who I Smoke" (with Spinabenz and FastMoney Goon featuring Whoppa Wit Da Choppa). He signed a recording contract with Cinematic Music Group in 2018, which entered a joint venture with Geffen Records four years later.[6][7] He entered the Billboard 200 twice with his third mixtape Step Harder (2019) and debut studio album, Life of Betrayal 2x (2021).[8]
