Young Miko

Puerto Rican rapper Young Miko delivers brash lyrics about sex, drugs, and city life with a swaggering flow that slips between a carefree drawl and sharper, more dramatic cadences. She gained an online buzz with her early singles and active social media presence, and released her debut EP, Trap Kitty, in 2022. In 2024, she hit the Hot Latin Songs Chart with “Young Miko: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 58” and delivered her full-length debut, Att.. Born in Añasco, Young Miko taught herself to play acoustic guitar while studying at the University of Puerto Rico. She began making music that took influence from rap as well as reggaeton and rock. She first appeared with the 2021 trap single “105 Freestyle,” produced by Caleb Calloway and Mauro. This was followed by additional tracks like “Vendetta” (with Villano Antillano) and “Puerto Rican Mami.” Miko frequently posted videos of her creative process and everyday occurrences on her social media accounts. In 2022, she released collaborative singles like “Un Poquito” (with Alejo) and “Castigada” (with Catalyna and Cory) before issuing her debut EP, Trap Kitty. The following year, she cracked the Billboard Hot 100 with her single “Classy 101,” before reaching number 20 on the Hot Latin Songs Chart, with 2024′s “Young Miko: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 58.” In April 2024, Miko delivered her full-length debut album, Att., which included the single “Curita” and featured guest spots by Dei V, Feid, Elena Rose, and others. ~ Paul Simpson
