Ma'Shah Ben Yahcob, known as Yurp, entered this world in Chicago Heights, IL, and found his roots in Gwinnett County, GA, also known as “The Nawf.” Yurp has embraced his mission to preach repentance to the streets, not only through his hardcore trap sound, but also via melodic psalms, singing, and R&B flavor. Introduced to the art of writing bars by his 6th-grade health teacher, Mr. Hamilton, at Southwood Middle School, Yurp has never looked back. Moving from Illinois to Norcross, GA, at the age of 12 with his mom and sister, Yurp became a renowned battle rapper throughout middle and high school. Now armed with spiritual weaponry, he confronts spiritual wickedness in high places.
